Airfield AAA Discussion Thread - Air Realistic Battles

Nope I played it SOLO and used my SUPERIOR UNDERSTANDING OF POSITIONING AND GAME MECHANICS in order to win my matches. Using BASE DEFENSES in order to never take a bad engagement was crucial to my strategy to become the SUPERIOR PLAYER.

Actually AF camping in high performance planes is the most effective tactic. Fw 190 D9, P-51H are extremely good at it due to speed that allows them to escape easier.
Generally, AF camping is detrimental to gameplay and player development. But it helps trolls, malicious players and of course it allows people to be useless and ignore their team.

Look at his stats and win rates. Look at his La-174 stats…a plane that is identical to the La-15 for all intents and purposes. Or look at his XP-50 stats. Or just go check any of his replays that last 25 minutes.You are not telling him anything that he doesn’t already know.

Fake news. Not large enough impact unless every game is 6v6 lel

I don’t know how any of this matters, where am I supposed to stock grind otherwise? I still get 1-2 aircraft kills if my team didn’t die before (I think destroying bases is helping your team, as it takes away tickets), and neither do the rolands and M247s help when I’m playing a fighter and run because I ran out of ammo. I think your takes are horrid, and they don’t take any other playstyle into concideration except your own.

How is this fake news king?

I just have SUPERIOR STRATEGY AND TACTICS.

Literally nothing you just posted disproves anything I wrote.

Like, literally nothing.

If you want to grind stock jet attackers and bombers, you should go to SBEC, not ARB because SB has much better rewards and economy issues in SBEC have been alleviated considerably with recent updates. Even if you don’t have a joystick or gamepad, you can turn on the SAS mode to fly more easily with keyboard and mouse, just like ARB.

Unfortunately in Jet RB, bombing a base does not help your teammates, as most games are won or lost when one of the teams is wiped out. (that’s one of reasons why 8.7/9.0BR American teams are awful atm)

Also, ammo problems can be solved by having better aim, which can extend the time between takeoff and landing for refueling and reloading. The same goes for fuel, if you took min fuel, you can sacrifice flight time to get better performance. When you are flying an aircraft like the J29D or Shenyang F-5/Lim-5P that has afterburners you can prolong the flight time by not overusing the afterburners.

It is your choice to sacrifice flight time to get superior performance, and it is your or your teammates’ fault if you have that performance and yet you couldn’t wipe the enemy team and get killed on the runway.

You don’t have that great reading comp do you, specifically regarding my kpb comment

The AA doesn’t magically become better when you actually help your team?

I don’t know why it even exists if everyone can just evade it.

Correct, they should just remove it entirely to save on the hassle.

I mean if you actually help your teammates such as baiting yourself or forcusing 2vs1 for enemy, the enemy team will be sent back to the hangar quikly and you and your teammates will win the game without having to land and reloading/refueling.

Not everyone is such an ultra MLG omega pro.

You don’t have good reading comprehension because I posted my stats and my kills per battle in the DORA NINE is above 3. And that is mainly in games that are DOMINATED by OP POST WAR PLANES like the F2G SUPER CORSAIR and the completely OVERPERFORMING KOREAN WAR P-51 MUSTANG.

Also my EFFECTIVE KILLS PER BATTLE is much higher because the game does not count assists as kills and does not count the enemies that I DESTROYED by baiting them to my AIRFIELD AA.

Or perhaps your reading comprehension is fine and you understand how easy AA is to use as a cheesey defense in order to pad kill death ratio and win rate. After all you are 198:0 in the most OP META plane in the game…the XP-50.

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.
