Delayed activation of the Airfield SPAA

[LostPlayer2023]

Sounds not bad but we also need something tats doesn’t take ages for gajin to develop XD

[LostPlayer2023]

Nah. As I said its a skill issue when you can’t manage your fuel and ammo

[AlvisWisla]

Well both will cause the new SPAA requires new AI to run the SPAA… current SPAA needs new AI to run it. -_-

[LostPlayer2023]

Yeah

[Cpt_Bel_V]

say that to the WT community,… most are aiming shit,…

i don’t aim that shitty but when i end up in 1vs8 situation, at some point i need some reloads.

if you can’t handle that then you’re already smithing out a Farming tool,… just you wait everyone coming back at airfield to kill,… this would also mean that you’re proposal have and makes no sense

as i’m already able to kill people on airfields

[LostPlayer2023]

Guess why most have shitty aim, because the never flew a fighter like a fighter. Most ppl don’t really play the game. They want to get to top tier but forget to learn how to play it correct and this is a skill issue. They have a brain to think with so they should do it.

I can do this with a wyvern. Fly trough the airfield with 700km/h and done

So, you already can destroy people on airfields by your say. (and i do that with far less faster aircrafts too)

there i don’t see your problem anymore,…
also gaijin gives other options to win games, such as pouding ground targets.

It was a joke…

In this post I want to talk about airfield SPAA.

Actually i am wondering why you felt the need to open a thread - there is a pinned thread dealing with af aaa:

Airfield AAA Discussion Thread - Air Realistic Battles

So whilst i see this thread as redundant and therefore useless a short extract from the pinned thread:

@Uncle_J_Wick

Exactly.

@Uncle_J_Wick

Despite playing props only, i observe what fellow players report from their game play experience in jets - and i watch enough replays and vids to see that there are two different words:

A) highly effective af aaa in prop BRs (few exceptions)
B) much lower effective af aaa in jet BRs (can be countered)

So the issue has multiple dimensions and depending on your preferred BR range you might have different experiences and your are either highly affected or not…

If you had the chance to follow this thread also in the old forum you might see various types of demands:

• Complete removal of af aaa
• Removal of aaa if weaker plane classes get a chance to exit
• Leave af aaa as it is
• Eliminate useless af aaa on some prop maps
• Replace useless af aaa with functional af aaa
• Increase effectiveness of af aaa in jet BRs to the level of prop BRs

For removal of af aaa the main arguments are:

• Forcing players to Increase teamplay
• Forcing players to learn in general
• Forcing players to make the right decisions (Fuel, plane, ammo)
• Avoiding af aaa camping (props) can’t be countered
• Avoiding of combat resets if outplayed
• Avoiding of 25 minute matches due to
• Air RB is a PvP mode
• Af aaa allows low skill players to survive

For keep it as it is / strengthen jet af aaa the main points are:

• Lack of af aaa gives non-fighter planes no real chance to survive
• Af aaa iss needed to cover repairs, refuelling, rearming
• There is no teamplay in randomly allocated teams
• Air RB is not designed as a TDM mode
• Air RB is PvP with PvE goals and objectives
• Af aaa ensures that non-fighter planes have a purpose
• Removal would transform Air RB as a whole into a pure TDM mode
• Removal of af aaa just allows low skill strafing runs and cheap kills

So what ever your position in this topic is, you might have even different views on things - depending if you are playing props and/or jets , so as a pure fighter player you might have different povs than people which play all BRs and plane classes or just non-fighter planes.

The elephant in the room is:.

1. How many people demand changes (removal/improvements) with what kind of proposals/suggestions in which segment (props or jets) and are they statistically relevant (confidence level) or not and…
2. Gaijins’ opinion about that. Even with reading the forum for 5 years is can’t remember any official response or feedback. The only recent feedback is indirect, after several incidents of non-working af aaa in 2 or 3 updates they “fixed” af aaa quite fast and the last 2 updates showed no similar incidents…

So you might realize that your topic (and the attached poll) is actually useless. I mean gaijin is not stupid - they are fully aware of this topic. Their last action happened in October 2023 when aaa’s vanished from forward airfields.

So trying to add credibility to your request by adding a poll is useless as long as you can’t add a high confidence level to those numbers. If you want to change something you have to create a suggestion.

Because I read every post in the forum. Just didn’t saw it and another post doesn’t hurt anyone. StoneWT didn’t closed it but changed it from air RB to RB battles.
