Airfield AAA Discussion Thread - Air Realistic Battles

Yet TS speaks that I’m Above Average, and I know from looking at my own stats that you’re flagrantly lying like some lowly swine politician.

Keep coping.
Keep seething.
Keep Malding.
Keep Dilating.

Doesn’t change the fact that you have a skill issue.

Bruh. you literally added nothing to this thread other than insults and then trying to justify your insults

If that’s all you’ve been reading then that’s your issue, not mine.

wow. it’d be nice if you’d bring something into the conversation… like something people can actually take something away from. something other than “everything I just said is designed to annoy the individual it’s directed at, and I know it is so when he gets annoyed I’m going to tell him he’s just to sensitive even though it’s actually me purposely trying to frustrate him”. you keep saying “cope” or “seethe”. so you are literally trying to cause a problem. if you’re having a bad day maybe chill some before getting on forums? or find a therapist forum.

Lmao ThunderSkill nice cope goofy this is incredible stuff to read.

Yeah, you’re not losing from ticket deficits. You’re losing from playing like a noob in matches and barely carrying your own weight in matches. And you are projecting when you act and play like a trash player. Just stop coping goofy

And what are you adding by trying to white knight for someone, exactly? If me calling him out for playing like an idiot is adding nothing of value, then neither is your attempt to white knight for him. Certainly he’s grown and can speak for himself, no? You’re not his daddy, boyfriend or boss, are you?

So we can either redirect the conversation back to main point, or you can further attempt to derail it. I don’t give a shit if my bluntness offends any of your sensibilities. That’s your problem, not mine.

redirect the conversation back to the main point…you’re the one that redirected it away from the main point…you introduced yourself by insults and now you’re going to exit by insults lol. a true die hard I guess

Nice try attempting to move the goalposts, Goofy. Doesn’t impress me, though. Keep trying if you want.

Oh look, a flag. Cute.

Yet you’re not even attempting to get things back on track, so nobody’s any better here.

something tells me only someone that is better with insult would impress you lol. but I’m not going to respond again unless you actually say something useful other wise this is going to go way way off topic

I see this thread is still just as wholesome and friendly as always…
Anyway…
The inconsistency is getting worse. I can play one game, at the same BR, and AF AAA doesn’t do anything, and then another I get sniped 2km out…

What would actually impress me is if these dedicated fighter jocks finally came out and simply admitted that they don’t care about PTFO and only cared about only TDM regarding ARB.

But they’re so dishonest with their arguments so coming clean just isn’t possible with them. Hell, they already got their compromise with the forward AF AA being removed and they’re still crying that it’s not good enough.

They won’t be satisfied until AB, ARB and ASB are exactly like World of Warplanes. The modes are already enough of a headache without some ADHD CoDminds trying to make it worse.

A flag? Adorable.

Took your time to post all of that. Cute.

Yet I’m not the one crying in the forums because I refused to PTFO and lost to a single bomber. So jokes still on you. Keep coping.

Do you think the people who complain about “fighter jocks” not playing the objective realise that the single biggest objective in Air RB is to eliminate the enemy team? It’s an elimination gamemode, not TDM, most matches end with the enemy team eliminated, and it’s the role for fighters. Bombers have a different objective to fighters, it’s in their name.

It’s pretty funny that the fighter objective can be completely cheesed by other players and classes by simply flying around an airfield, whereas you can’t just hold E to reach out of the cockpit,grab the bomber’s bombs and diffuse them on the way down. Though maybe asymmetric auto ticket bleed is a parallel to this for attackers, just that’s entirely out of player hands.

@GNDM_Panzer chill out and stop being so hostile. We’re here to debate airfield AA, not to call each other noobs and sling insults.

Takes 2 to tango, fella. Anyways…

Most fighters have capable armaments and munitions capable of dealing with the majority of the ground targets, so the continued excuse about fighters not being able to ground pound is simply dishonest.

This is dishonest. It is not listed nor named as the biggest objective.

It is an option, just like it’s an option to;
Destroy all AI air
Destroy all AI ground
Destroy all bases and the enemy AF - Though this is BR dependent.

All options, minus the last because it’s nuanced to BR, are on the table to win the match. Players simply choose to prioritize enemy player elimination - Which is perfectly reasonable - Until it becomes a situation where that option is untenable. So when it comes to a wise player, the other options are weighed and chosen upon if they genuinely want to win. And if they’re just unlucky or an idiot? Well, sometimes you bring the loss upon yourself and other times it’s simply out of your hands. It is literally impossible to win every single match you partake in. That’s just life.

A very significant number of fighters in this game either have no suspended ordnance or very little. Take spitfires for example - only later ones get bombs, and that’s a single tiny bomb until you get to the Mk 18, 22 and 24. Typhoons get 2 bomb drops. Yak 3s don’t get anything. La-5s and 7s get a couple of bombs, 9s and 11s get nothing. Sure, American fighters have pretty good carry capacity across the board, but that still doesn’t let them stack up against dedicated attackers and bombers. And most fighters that can carry bombs, only carry one or two small ones (like 50kg, 60kg, 100kg, 250kg, 250lb, 500lb). I don’t even know if the 50kg ones can pop light pillboxes, but they certainly can’t pop regular pillboxes.

A spitfire can do bugger all to destroy anything other than howitzers with its piddly .303s, and the moment it destroys a few, the new midmap AA mechanics will start lighting it up.

So that leaves you in a lot of cases with just cannon fire. Which, seeing as you’re using that to shoot players, and given the limited capacity of fighters, is gonna run out pretty quick, and can’t damage tanks at all in most cases, especially with air belts loaded. And then you have to RTB to get more bombs and ammo after destroying only a couple of ground units, and by that time the game’s already over.

To say nothing of how silly it is to carry ground ordnance at the start of the match, seeing as that’s sabotaging your earlygame impact and is gonna leave you at a huge energy disadvantage against enemy fighters.

So no, most fighters don’t have armaments and munitions capable enough to equalise a ticket disadvantage.

Does it have to be listed or named? It’s an elimination gamemode. This is how elimination gamemodes work. Are there other win conditions? Yes. Are those other win conditions achieved nearly as frequently? No. Is it reasonable for an alternative win condition to be achieved solely because of an AI game mechanic that requires no player skill or even input? No. And that lattermost one is the topic of debate, so engage with it.

Like it or not, playing to destroy all enemy players in a fighter is playing an objective - it’s playing the fighter objective.

The entire point of this thread is to debate over whether it’s reasonable for said option to be untenable purely because someone is trying to learn how to draw a perfect circle in the sky above their airfield. We are not debating whether some losses are inevitable regardless of what you try.

It’s pretty ridiculous for the loss to be “simply out of your hands” because somebody fled to their airfield and camped, letting a busted game mechanic play for them.

Instead of calling others idiots, dishonest, and generally insinuating that you’re better than them, you should learn some humility, listen to others’ contributions to the topic, and engage honestly in the discussion.
