Because those will overperform what the role of airfield defense in arb should be
well the ITO underperforms for air RB what aa should replace the ITO then so airfield is a bit better
You would need to create a third, end game AA bracket and not just have ww2 and “other” as we do now
You realize BVR missiles can be launched from outside 10km right?
At top tier, the new AF AA are basically useless while at the BRs below ARHs they are insanely OP
yes…? I say that directly in the post you replied to?
you are switching subjects?
I am talking about the SPAA at near top tier lobbies where there are no weapons that can kill players camping within their range
Cool, here’s what you replied to:
And this was in reply to:

So the context here is that I’m saying there are absolutely times in war thunder where you are both actively trying to win, not playing passively, and will use the airfield as leverage to get back into an energy state that is managable.
it never is ♥
These bozos can’t even fix midfield AA and you want airfield AA to be good? LMAO.
whats wrong with midfield AA? even AI aren’t dying to em how do you manage that 😭
I explained why, in fact, it is sometimes, below that:
This is buIIshit, staying in the airfield means you are usless and the enemy team can win the game by completing the objectives
My biggest issue is that AF AA is dogshit coming in, but then when leaving the gunners lock tf in
Like I’ll chase someone towards their airfield, start getting into AA range, turn around because I ain’t catching this guy before he gets to the AF, and the moment I do so they start shooting 3s like prime Kobe.
