He did this as an experiment actually.

Plenty player like that. Just run AF and camp ftw, proudly display “skill” on YT too.

It’s not that hard to get 5 kills on most fighters, let alone on a bomber or attacker with a terrible flight model, so why this dude post a video of that game on a forum.
To show that AF campers are proud of their work.
Edit: Flagged by trolls.
To show that even if one is not a good player mechanically or positionally, you can abuse the AF to just reverse people or as a safety net and run away with good kill games. This particular individual has 10 to 100 kd on his planes while showing the mechanical and flying skills of someone who can barely keep a 2:1 if even. Of course plenty of his kills are AI (about 40% of the total to be exact), but still. It’s completely dumb that Gaijin lets people abuse their mechanics like this, which were not introduced for this purpose whatsoever.
This is solely because he religiously uses the AF and will NEVER engage anyone if he doesn’t have 100% of the advantage. He will instantly turn or dive to the AF when a situation is even remotely hairy, like in the video a F4U-1 on his 6, far away, and he’s in a P63. I mean that’s just sad.
And I wouldn’t really give a damn to highlight this particular player, if he wouldn’t be a massive dickhead in game. Why you think he blocks his chat in the videos)

Half the planes in this game are complete garbage so getting “reversed” is guaranteed.
Dayum son nearly all your most played planes are the 10/10 meta too.

How does that change anything regarding AF camping and AF AAA?
Because he is complaining about people running away after being reversed or when in bad position lmao, as if this game was perfect mirror matchup like an honorable Quake 1v1. He complains it’s not fun, yet he will play 1 zillion games in LA-15 just to stomp 262’s all day, is that meant to be fun for the enemy.
AF helps bad planes far more than it helps bad players, that’s something good.

It’s not.
No.
It helps malicious players and trolls, in the 1st place. Not exactly “bad players”, these die most often despite AF AAA bubble existing.
Many AF campers I simply recognise because they are playing a lot, they are very experienced and they are VERY determined to ruin the game for everyone on enemy team and often their own.
Also if bad planes keep avoiding certain death via AF AAA, then guess what - their BR will stay as it is. They will keep being horrible, not fun to play, but they won’t go down. Where’s the benefit in this?
Well, there’s none.
The FOCKE-WULF 190 DORA NINE is not meta and I was somehow able to get 40:1 K/D in it with 90% win rate just by strategically camping my airfield until I had overwhelming advantage.
Ah yes, rearming, refueling, and repairing…
“Malice” and “trolling”.
But sitting over airfield waiting for free ez mode landing kills is honorable play not total trolling right…lol
“Landing kills”
That’s not a thing. No one gets kills from landing.
Rn I’m playing the more unconventional jets, and I came here to say, airfield aa does nothing these days apart from shooting down planes flying straight. I’m bombing my bases, getting some AI kills, then running away from (most of the time) 4 enemy planes to my airfield, yet it doesn’t help at all, I can’t even try to slow them down so that the airfield shoots them down, they can almost always just evade the M247s and rolands, or just fly low so that they don’t even shoot at them.
Do you realise AF camping and generally AF AAA problem is mostly related to props, that encounter a hitscan death zone that wrecks everything no matter how fast you fly?
I couldn’t care less for jets, in their case AF AAA is kinda disfunctional, which is not a problem. If you’re “bombing your bases” instead of helping your teammates win the battle, why do you expect AF AAA to save you? You deliberately ignored your team, decided to let them die. ALl you deserve is getting wrecked, not protected. If you were there for your teammates, they would have protected you from enemy during landing.

I’m sorry that I’m trying to play Attack aircraft, there is no need for this hostility, if you don’t care about jets, don’t reply.
You flew straight and pressed space. The effort is next to 0, and so is your value as a teammate. You chose to be useless. Why do you expect to be saved AAA, if you let your team die?
Apparently attacker is not good for helping the team. Just like f.e. roleplaying a lawn dart. If you’re doing this - you should blame yourself for all the issues.
There is a good spot in game for attackers. It’s commonly known as CAS RB.
I hope some day you can reflect on your behaviour, until then I won’t respond to this anymore.
However, he is not wrong.
I’m so sorry for telling about this but, your excuses show how poor your game play is and you deserve to be killed on the runway by the enemy for not helping your teammates.
Aside from the gunless attackers like the Buccaneer, but attackers in Jet tier are still not as problematic when used as fighters or support fighters because of their performance.
My Su-22UM3K is tagged as attackers but, I usually bring x6 R-60s and x2 or x4 S-24 rockets when I play ARB because it is still possible to help my teammates. I also have an F-84G as well which somehow has an attacker roll and has air spawn, but it is a pretty capable “fighter” so I don’t bring bombs or rockets and use it as a fighter to kill enemy aircraft.
F-84G should get removed airspawn and count as fighters again imo but it is offtopic.
I never wrote otherwise, what I did write was that it helps bad planes even more, which is still true even by your example.
Why don’t the planes that dominate ever get moved up?
Oh wait, that’s because the entire statistical data collection theory is a complete illusion.
