Ever since jets got their separate AA which is completely different from prop BR AA it makes no sense to pollute this thread with jet shenaningas because we’re discussing 2 completely different things. Start jet thread instead, to talk about half-baked “endgame”, makes much more sense.

would you check what this thread is about again?
you can say i shouldnt “pollute” it with jets as much as i can tell you not to “pollute” it with props
You are the one complaining, make your own thread then.

Because it makes no sense to discuss 2 seaprate systems thta have completely different issues. Also jet big brains have multiple times made arguments regarding AF AAA being too weak/easy to avoid without ever mentioning they are referring to half-baked “endgame” missile spamming simulator that is jet gameplay…
Hence it makes perfecr sense to isolate jet players from intelligent and logical part of WT playerbase.
Also tbe thread wast started because od unavoidable hitscan AF AAA, and SAMs around AF have been introduced way later, so it makes sense that the main topic of this thread is discussing unavoidable hitscan AF AAA and not SAMs that still give a chance to succesfully remove AF campers from premises.

Your Highness, could you please make another thread to satisfy your royal needs and leave us plebs alone?
Then we could stop derailing the topic

looks like somebody had bad experience…
no, it makes sense to discuss how horrendously bad top tier AA is and buff it.

They themselves stated in a different thread they didn’t play ARB, I was just going of what they said
There’s still similarities between jet AA and prop AA; people camping them. The thread OP never specifies this thread is only for prop AA.
It says, “So please use this thread for all Airfield AAA Discussions - feedback - issues.”
Jet AA discussion falls under this so stop trying to be a janny.

It’s you, jet demographic, who invaded this thread with your made up problems. Top tier AAA is just fine, maybe too strong. Who knows.
Where did I talk about top tier?
The current state of jet AA is hilarious. Watched an endgame massacre today; a horde of F-104s and myself descending on the landed attackers who thought they were safe. That feels awesome, man. No more M247 proxy spam.
I think the current state of AA is fine for jets. Air RB is a deathmatch mode; that means rearming is a privilege, not a right. I have to play strategically instead of spraying out all my ammo on one target and then using the base AA to cover for my poor aim.
What’s not okay is the jet BR compression… but that is an issue for another thread.

Concerning the proposed solution by OP:
Players will go straight for the airfields and camp them.
Supersonic jets will be able to patrol multiple airfields.
Putting the bases near/behind the airfields makes it worse, you don’t want to incentivize people to go towards the enemy airfield if it was no AAA.

this [airfield camping] tactic is on itself useless because ARB is a teamgame
The only way to get points in ARB is killing. Nothing is easier to kill than a landed plane.
Reminder that people teamkill each other over kills.
,
to eliminate players tha camp their airfield AAA protection and abuse this mechanic.
If someone is camping their airfield, retreat and go hit ground targets or climb and wait. You did say this is a teamgame right? Why obsess over killing the last guy that’s camping his airfield?
,
I can’t really see any way to remove AAA without it leading to airfield camping.
Airfield AAA is realistic, it’s a deterrent for camping the airfield, and you can still kill planes on/near the airfield.
It’s a good method to prevent airfield camping.

Roland AAA is a joke, fly low or dodge the missile and you can spawn camp the planes.
Gun AAA is broken, get anywhere close to the airfield and your plane turns red and starts smoking. It’s like magical damage over time.
I wouldn’t mind having Roland AAA at all ranks.
It would teach lower ranked players about missiles, and teach them to not get close to the airfield. And at least they would have a chance to dodge the missile. Can’t dodge the magical gun AAA.
Because people want the game to end quickly. Mindlessly ground pounding like an NPC is boring. Either fight or J out otherwise quit AF camping using base AA.
Then again what else should I expect to hear from someone that rarely goes after players and instead just ground pounds basically every game?

Last time I just use F104 waited some one land on the AF and shot it, I got 4 kills on the ground and win the game, it is quite unfair because those spaa can’t work lmao.
Well, these guys apparently had combined IQ similar to BI ammo count since they kept falling for it over and over again.
I see absolutely no problem here.
Because people want the game to end quickly. Mindlessly ground pounding like an NPC is boring.
You want the game to end quickly. You find it boring.
If you want to end the match, go kill the guy that’s camping the airfield. It’s not impossible, if you can’t, it’s a skill issue.
Malding so hard.
The irony of a guy who just ground pounds all day telling me I’m doodoo at the game is comical.
Completely wrong. Killing AF campers in prop matches is actually impossible but of course you wouldn’t know since you just ground pound all day.

You’re the one whining about airfield campers, not me
And the only way you know how to discuss on this forum is to try to insult other people, no point in seeing your posts, byebye
