honestly i can see why some people use base AA, not everyone wants to fight 5v1 the hard way, with that said i wouldn’t mind having the option to leave a match via a return to hanger by flying to a return point or what ever, not everyone has the skill to fight multiple enemies at a time

I don’t have the skill for it, but I still fight till the bitter end. I personally think you should at least try. Repair costs aren’t bad anymore, and you get more rewards for more activity time.

some times i can handle my own, and most times i do i don’t think i have ever camped on the af for sake of trying to get the enemy team to rush in i love war thunder i really enjoy the 1v1 dogfights that happen, there are a few changes i think that do need to be made but we will see
Yeah exactly, I don’t see why people camp AF, it is boring, and you don’t get rewards. I enjoy fighting, and even if I’m in a Lancaster I will still fly out and fight, no, I usually don’t win against 7 enemies but I do my best and get more rewards for it!

i guess what i mostly want is when im comming in to land and i have no ammo or hardly any fuel to fight i just want the base AA to do its job lol
Oh yeah definitely, I want a FAIR fight. I should be able to land in peace, I DON’T want to be versing campers every match.
i will say at top tier its less of a protective measure, you can fly higher than the base AA and missiles can attack and just drop bombs on them, or use the aim-54 if you have that option
At top tier, you either get lasered by M247 or you can fly around with ease.
AS.34 ASM go brrrrr

also if your not paying attention to the map and your chasing a player back to their AF and get shot down i feel like that should be on you at the player
Yeah, that’s 100% your fault, but I just don’t like cowards. Sure I can ground pound, and I do if someone is camping, but that isn’t fun at all. All you have to do is fly in a straight line pulling the trigger. If you’re going to AF camp just J out. Simple as that. Don’t waste our time.

You just called me doodoo and you’re complaining about me apparently insulting (where btw?).
I’m assuming you think me stating how you play the game is insulting?

M247s got removed btw. Now it’s VEAK 40s and Roland 1s.
IMO the VEAKs are far worse than the M247s but the Rolands are still worthless (thankfully).

VEAKs tend to yeet me out of existence from the middle of the map, I don’t like them much

You’ve got it in a nutshell. Even if AF camping was sportsmanlike behavior (which it isn’t), it’s boring for the guy camping the airfield because he has to wait and do nothing. It’s also boring for the guy babysitting the camper because he has the choice of waiting for the other guy to come out, or groundpounding and then running back to his own airfield once the camper comes out to play.
It’s not fun for anyone involved.

I’ve just gotten to a point where I go for him no matter what, I know I’m going to die, but it’s better than doing nothing.
I prefer not dying, so it’s a real pain when someone buttons themselves up on the af and starts playing nascar. Secondary AF AA removal was a godsend.
I personally prefer not dying too, but I know that I can get half a pass in before my pilot gets yeetus deletus, so I might be able to get lucky, in any case, it stops me from getting a crew lock half the time (sometimes anti air counts as you crashing)

Yeah they seem to have far better aim which is unfortunate.
The thing is, they don’t set my RWR off in mid map, they just take my wing off
With the RWR rework, some vehicles won’t set off RWR.
The VEAK 40 uses J-band radar and your vehicle must be able to detect the J-band frequency. For example, the F-8E RWR can only detect E, G, and I bands of radar so it will not be able to detect a VEAK 40 locking on. I might have gotten it wrong but I’m fairly certain that’s how RWR is right now.
