No wonder you try to hide your toxicity behind ending each of your post with Cheers! as some desperate try to not get banned completly.

There is no denial. The mgs on my Leopards don’t hurt a plane or scare it away at all. I can’t speak for other nations with their roof mounted MGs, however in toptier this isn’t very useful anyway because the altitude, speed and high angles these aircraft usually sit on are unable to even reach with my mg. It’s also funny how instantly resort to insults and not even try to counter every argument I made, guess the chatban was deserved after all.

But I did it „x” times against players that were flying in a straight line at me at angle that my mg could shoot at so You must be wrong!!!

What’s worse is that at higher tiers your MGs are absolutely useless if the plane doesn’t do something very wrong. Typically you’ll be engaged from several kilometers away without you even hearing that plane.

Lol, A gift become politician in real life mayby but in WT forum they fail convince the community.

It’s really sad, I just failed to shoot down a helicopter at 2km, flying slowly and heading towards me, and firing all over the radar circle. Apparently the game decided that helicopter shouldn’t be shot down.

35mm Oerlikons? Because those have absolutely INSANE gun dispersion. It’s like shooting a shotgun. IRL they’re super accurate, in WT they’re the opposite. Better at shooting tanks than air targets. Many other gun SPAA have similar issue, it’s why proxy is so damn good on them.

No, we’re just not sitting in spawn shooting at planes outside our range, unlike how CAS haters do

You would know that isn’t true if you actually played a vehicle using stinger missiles, yet even your ground vehicle with the most air kills is barely above my Begleitpanzer alone. You have opinion on vehicles that you haven’t even touched, just like you lost touch with the reality of the game. Come back when your AA vehicles actually carry missiles.

You can’t even judge the performance of the stinger because you have never used it, same way I don’t judge the performance of the Imp. Chappy. However, if you die to stingers you’re exactly the target group of pilots I’m looking out for - brain turned off for flight time, straight flight path and no movement whatsoever, prime targets for stinger. Everyone else is a no go, especially helicopters that you can’t even lock. Keep talking however, most people actually frequenting the forum knows where you and your performance sits.

My SPAA has the best stats outta any of my vehicles, and CAS haters get REALLY mad when I point that out lol. SPAA is ridiculously easy to play, but the fact that you somehow do bad with SAMs is genuinely impressive. You have to be doing everything you possibly can to fail to be doing bad with SAMs.

I mostly utilise SPAAs as TDs (Ostwind and Sweden’s flak truck FTW), because only Soviet SPAAs actually have enough range, killing power, mobility and ROF to be effective. Basically I die to Soviet SPAAs 3 times more often than any other SPAA.
F.e. Soviet 23mm cannon 1-shots planes because it hits as hard as MK103 30mm. Same goes for Soviet 25mm AA truck - same hitting power as German Flak 18, except Soviet guns are better.
Then there’s insta-plane-deleter 14.5mm MG.
When playing Germany, I just use fighters whenever I can. if I can’t spawn plane and there’s heavy CAS infestation, I’d rather just quit.

just to remind people who is making those arguments.

Lol, he’s made that my SPAA stats don’t suck.

The only tracerless rounds the Gepard carries is the APDS… 20x2 for a total of 40 rounds. It’s not using them up on CAS (in like 2 seconds) when it would rather save that for ground units. Another one - the Falcon - has tracers in ALL of it’s belts. There are very few spaa vehicles that have tracerless ammo.

Question for you - if CAS is at such a big disadvantage vs spaa (it really is NOT), why do so many players jump into CAS the moment the opportunity arises?

So many? I’ve gonna many games in XM246, M247, Imp.Chappy, and various CAP planes like F-106 without seeing more than one enemy plane the entire game.

7.0-9.7 has almost 0 CAS whatsoever. You only start seeing CAS again at 10.3 with rocket rush Su-25s.

Yes, I literally sit in spawn with M247 and PGZ09 and have 4.0 air kills KD, while you someone who is supposed to know how to play SPAA, has 0.5 air kd? maybe you should sit in spawn so your air kd will finally be higher than bots? lol
