Airfield AAA Discussion Thread - Air Realistic Battles

War Thunder players after being asked to show a modicum of competency after playing the game for hundreds of hours.

I just can’t take this serious anymore, in a thread about AA I’m being told to just not land.

I literally don’t land in like 90% of my games and almost never when under threat of being strafed. I either die, have the game end quickly or have enough fuel and ammo to last the whole match.

With the new gun buffs I’ve been getting 5-7 kill games in stuff like F-2 Sabre and Yaks in a single sortie.

I don’t have this problem in most jets that can actually fight multiple other planes, but in planes with not enough ammo or without the flight performance, it doesn’t help to just tell me to play sim or “get better”.

The game shouldn’t be balanced around planes with 60 rounds and players that need to land every 2 kills.

The community calls it a “skill issue”.
If you don’t want to play with awful teammates, just play in a squad with your friends who have decent skills.

BTW, it can take a tremendous amount of effort, but if you are on full squad who has decent skills, it is possible to carry the game even if all your teammates except you and your squadmates are wiped out.

So this game is only supposed to cater to meta planes?

This game has hundreds of planes of different roles, trying to make a game mode that has to cater to all of their strengths and all play styles will only make it worse for everyone. It’s like putting a bridge layer in GRB and having players complain that every map doesn’t contain a mandatory river and a protected resupply zone.

Winning the game with 4 fighters in the air?
It’s not even remotely difficult in all honesty :)

Trueeee
My belove MiG-17 still has very limited ammo but, don’t see any problems for playing that thing because I don’t spray it like 50cal Sabres.
My J-7E/J35XS has just single 30mm cannons but, don’t see any problems even I usually use gunfighter not IR missile bus.

I think that is exactly what this game is supposed to be right? A game with all these different aircraft, where you can always play whatever you want and have fun in it, right? And the second part of that message is just a slippery slope fallacy

I was speaking under the assumption that the enemy team was also decent.

And agreed it is not too hard if enemy team is crap.

There are GRB vehicles that have something like 8 rounds but no one will complain about them being “off-meta”. Either pick a something else to fly or challenge yourself to do better in an inferior plane.

Yeah but this is an AA discussion right? Not a “git gud” or “skill issue” one right?

Using AF AA to your advantage is a “skill issue”. Literally the sole reason people want to see it removed.

I’m trying to have airfield AA do the literal thing it is supposed to do, why do airfields even exist if you think I shouldn’t land at any point?

No, I just don’t think that PvE mechanics should be able to kill other players. You should only be able to die by your own hand or by other players.

So you think anyone and everyone should be able to strafe airfields?

I don’t think players should be punished for trying to play them game and score kills.

I don’t think players should be punished for trying to rearm and repair their planes.
