Airfield AAA Discussion Thread - Air Realistic Battles

Do remember you’re the one who only plays GRB… for CAS. You can’t talk about ARB if you don’t play it

I play ARB lots I mean ive ground out 3 different air tree’s I just dont realky bring bombers or attackers to air other than to finish a daily mission and yea I play ground to smash tanks in an Aircraft I wouldnt play ground battles if you couldnt… I sure dont play that other game thats Tanks only Tanks are boring to me…

“Sadly there are plenty of players who will report you for Passive Behaviour if you circle your airfield; this reeks of impatience or the lack of a co-ordinated plan to win as a team”

Because it is literally Passive Behavior to do stuff like space climb when you’re the last one left, circle your airfield, keep running back and forth across the map in something that outspeeds everything else at your BR, etc.

bro, its amazing if top tier aa even starts shooting, let alone hit anything

When i was playing yesterday, the enemy jet was flying over the heli spawn and flak explosions where all around the jet but it never took damage. It should have been taking some damage, not like a instant kill or anything but it should have taking some damage. I think there should be some sort of risk when to a player when they are going over an airfield or a heli spawn, as it stands most people dont get damaged at all over heli spawns.

Have in mind that the thread is tagged “air-rb” - there are no helipads in Air RB.

In addition there are major differences in af aaa between Air RB and Air SB - even within Air RB we have 100% deadly af aaa around prop BRs in opposition to jet BRs. Those jet players report useless af aaa for their BRs.

This thread exists mainly to get rid of af aaa in Air RB in general, so you won’t find many guys asking for a buff of af/helipad aaa.

In any case (just for prop BRs):

The removal of af aaa on forward airfields made the maps much bigger due to reduction of “no-fly” zones for prop BRs and is especially mid to late match a very nice improvement to fight the hordes of Wyverns as the experienced ones now rearm at their main af - giving you extra time to climb to get the necessary alt advantage to intercept them.

Ofc i see guys farming enemy players landing/repairing/rearming on the forward enemy airfield, but from a general pov their victims haven’t done their homework, af aaa was removed around as week ago.

Real funny are those guys trying to lure others in non-existing af aaa…

Please make aaa at airfields easyer to dedtroy for example aaa can not shoot in the horizontal and through objects and ground.

Hi, I recently got strafed at the AF while playing the Sinai map, the placement of the SPAA is very far off from the actual air field and gave the enemy plane the opportunity to snatch a free kill on 2 planes. (me and someone else)

(Also on an unrelated note, wondering if I can transfer all steam WT data to the launcher you guys provide pls thanks)

He has at least 750 battles in just the past month alone in Air RB. Do you even bother to check what you even say?

Even in something like the Yak-15P you can still conserve ammunition to stay up later in the matches.

The main airfield AAA is way too weak, giving enemies the ability to camp it even at low altitudes and get free kills

No.

have you even played 10.3?

Not going to. But you didn’t mention you’re talking about jets. AF AAA issue started before 10.0 was even a thing. And this game was made with prop combat in mind basically, so I stick to what WT really was all about.

prop tiers are broken even more than jets, only a selection of aircraft are actually playable, if you wanna fix the game mode, then you should tackle that first - rather than ask for AAA removal, so you can AF camp 264’s

i think you should

The entire point of this topic is to stop issues regarding prop-BR AF AAA. You jet guys have completely different AF AAA that is not of my concern. Start another topic to cry some more about radars, missiles and flares.

it doesnt function properly, you can pretty much fly around all you want as long as your aircraft has enough acceleration to gain speed while making slight turns.

thats why i told you to try that br

Even early jets can just do whatever in the enemy airfield and sometimes AAA won’t even target them

yeah, but you probably wont be able to stay around the airfield forever in those
