High tier airfield AAA should be seriously nerfed if not entirely removed

Rushing into death or stay for hope, which is closer to winning lol

Nah, you just want to strafe airfields. You can already do this rn if you have skill so my suggestion is to learn how.

You can consistently get close to the airfield (within 1-2km) without getting shot down by not flying high in the air.

and the VT-1 is not an omnipotent killing machine, you just have a skill issue

Classic. We aren’t talking about Player VT1. And we aren’t about TT.

Cool I can climb and camp as defender with ease, and good luck with our inconsistent terrain xD.

Or I can simply cut sideways into the zone when running away. Come chase the last guy, or lose fun xD

And I haven’t seen an enemy who has done the rush these days. Not even on that island, when f5s can easily approach into 2km to pop up to death.

It again feels like I’m facing CAS haters idk why. How about just say we can throw kh38s and kill the itos

We are talking about how you have a skill issue and cant dodge missiles

On any map that has terrain you can easily still avoid missile AA.

Forum be like when things comes to SPAA xD Not caring about anything replied cuz DeBatE TEchNiQUes

Why not say you should never die in an ARB match, or you have skill isuue?

Will camp inside forever if you are on the other side. Good luck staring.

I though I mentioned that one island AF already. /

It’s more of an issue at prop BRs than jets.

Prop airfields have these magical 40mm flak guns which will cause damage if you are exposed to them for more than a couple of seconds.

If you manage to sneak up you have about 4 seconds to gun the guy down before your aircraft is magically turned to dust.

I still think all forms of AF AA should be removed, but prop AA is more oppressive than jet AA

That’s not a reason to support exploitable ideas.

Supporting 50% rewards penalties for dying without a player being given credit.
Supporting idle timer for players near their airfield a bit longer than the on-airfield idle timer.

Those can’t be exploited.

You would be a cheater if you never died to players in ARB, but it is actually a skill issue if you die to something like airfield AA constantly.

O here comes the strawman

You can now try at 10.7 with the ito90 :D

I have, and I can do just fine

Ofc you do in that much protection. Proofs my point :D

The simplest fix would be for the the airfield AAA to stop working if all bases are destroyed, this would both make bomber players more valuable for the outcome of the battle, and force camping players to either take out any remaining strike aircraft carrying bombs or leave before they lose AAA cover. You can even have AI planes carry out the bombing after a certain amount of time if it’s a matchmaking where no team can carry enough bombs for the job.

I swear to god, these guys really need to be permabanned from the game, the fact you can just circle around the airfield while the ITO-90M, which aren’t even nerfed in pull like those used by players in ground battles, is just entirely bullshit. Yesterday and today I had to deal with them in the EC Vietnam, and it was completely stupid. I’m in a stockish plane, I have literally nothing to try and destroy AI vehicles unless I use free fall bombs (which of course can’t be done due to accuracy nerfs and the stupid accuracy of the AI AAA in the ground combats in EC maps that can snipe you from over 5 km away with no issues. If Gaijin wants to keep ITO-90Ms on the airfields, then make it so that you must be for over 5 minutes outside its maximum range before being able to get back into their AA cover, or else the tickets start bleeding until he either leaves that area and stays outside of it for those 5 minutes or the tickets end. Having to see someone just abusing airfield AA and Gaijin giving them even better AA so that they can just sit low, multipath all your missiles with their massive skill issue and end up winning because of magical shit is making clear how much Gaijin rewards people for playing the game. May as well give them rewards for just wasting fuel at this point so that they can get more shit out of their skill issue while the game plays for them…

bro complaining about the airfield AA shooting you down when you’re stock while you could’ve beeen destroying AI ground units with your cannon, is like getting a red light ticket and complaining because you tried to run the yellow in your stock toyota camry.

That’s not something you can do on the EC maps.

The AA just needs to be disabled when a plane has not been on the airfield after one minute passes.

there’s planes to shoot down on those maps. I’d like to know more about their plane all I know is they’re in the ITO BR range for ARB and have bombs.

Elaborate

do you mean has been sitting on the af for > 1 minute? I think there’s a mechanic for ending the game right now if someone is passive like this, I don’t know the condition.

EC is a little different due to the radar SPAAs at the ground targets, you can still bomb bases just fine though.
Honestly the morons that chase enemies into the airfield SPAAs should get crew locked if it shoots them down, I’ve had so many games that where loses or desperate struggles to win after half my team chases one or 2 guys into the SPAA and dies, leaving me to try to win on tickets or solo multiple enemies.
Hell half the time the enemy isn’t even camping, he is just rearming or refueling and comes straight back out to fight, meanwhile we are down 2, 3 or even 4 planes that chased him in.
