SPAA should be a deterrent, not a plane attractant

Read his comments on this and old forum and You will get that he says that he hates TO people and the idea.

Don’t care.

So why bother responding to me about it?

No, I don’t care about what’s on the other forum in regards to this, it’s you trying to label and make a villain.

As I said on old and this forum.

And please, stop bloating the topic and write me a PM instead.

It has nothing to do with said topic or even the person I replied to in first place.

So where’d they say it on this forum if you are that confident…

"It’s a fair thing to wonder, and totally harmless. I wouldn’t be so against the idea had their stubbornness not directly and irreparably harmed what I was enjoying in years past in Air RB. Not just once, but many times over.

It’s the equivalent of two people in a drunken bar fight (snail and TO supporters), one of them then throws a chair, which misses, and hits me (a bystander minding his own business walking by outside), permanently disfiguring my face. Why wouldn’t I be angry at the guy who threw the chair and/or the other guy egging the thrower on?"

One of the few comments You can find on his profile (one of the calmest ones).

Again, if You want to talk to me about matters not on topic, use a PM instead, I won’t be responding any further.

Nothing at all to do with hatred… It’s about the antics you display in your efforts to make a problem about it.

(Nope)

Please stop derailing the topic and use PM instead.

I’m not, and No.

You made it the topic by making the label.

I think this pic shows how frustrating SPAA are. 6+ CAS murdering the team, decide the best offense is defence. Spawn into the the Duster, make a beeline for some safe-away from spawn area. Get a 500kg dropped on me from high altitude…

Also the US SPAA is rubbish. The duster cannot rotate fast enough to engage jets and the rate o


f fire is ineffective. Lethal if it hits but very hard to land a hit.

You don’t just turn the turret but the hull as well.

It just proves that it is always better to spawn a plane instead of SPAA.

while the M19A1 is my 2nd best vehicle with air kills that i use in realistic i will say it does suck to use against jets.

Those things are terrible ,I don’t bother with them.Even the M16 seems to be useless now and it used to be OK.
I find for 4BR GRG a 2-3 BR plane in best.Something not super fast but a good turn fighter with a big spread.I am not expert but I am also no pilot either and if I can bring planes down with that kind of fighter any body can. Seriously ,give on SPAA for the USA WW2

It would be nice on Test pilot if we could select what we face and gain some practice out of the game though.Might help.

No OP you aren’t wrong for thinking this way because you’re mostly right. At lower tiers before radar SPAA and SAMs at least the true best counter against against CAS is only another plane unfortunately. Even the “best” SPAA played correctly Still aren’t all the great at protecting at least one of your teammates(not yourself)from getting bombed if the CAS user has at least a single braincell and if there’s more than one up let’s not kid ourselves here

However, they are a deterrent. Players ignoring SPAA will also get themselves RTH.

Not every player in the air is a gigachad, and why taking the CAP route can allow for some very easy kills.
