What the hell is going on with base AA at hightiers

you cannot strafe airfields anymore, you get nailed by guns instantly, this is terrible.

Yeah that’s the point

and you dont see how that is a problem?

It’s supposed to stop you from getting close to the airfield and it does

Wish there were an order or something to turn it off temporarily so that campers can be dealt with

It’s almost always a two way street though right.

95% of the times someone ‘camps’ inside their runways AA protection, is because the enemy team is ‘camping’ their runway boundary.

If you just fly away a bit, let the dude land / repair / rearm / take off again. Ya know, actually give them the prospect of a remotely fair fight, they tend to stop ‘camping’ because you stopped ‘camping’ them lol.

Y strafe runway in top tier just rofl git gud or if you refuse to top tier jets offer remarkable ranged AGM’s or other things …certainly not meta play tho

its not a problem for top tier, its a problem for every other part of jet tier, at top tier you can fire fox 2s at grouned aircraft easily

Once Jets easily reach 700 you can use the terrain to take them out and most of the times escape, AA is much more painful at mid to low tier where it is guaranteed death and maybe at most a trade

not in my experience, i used to be able to this reliably, now as soon as you peak over an airfield youre insta crippled by guns.

Mostly yellow parts and pilot counts for me, as i only need to last long enough for the tickets to bleed. Used to be easier back then but it is definietly still possible if you take the shortest exposed path at high speed with some slight manouvers.

No had it happen way to often that someone camped the airfield for over 10 mins and didn’t want to leave the airfield. He just flew around it.

Can’t say I have the same issue. It’s easy to fly by and mow anyone on the airfield.

If someone’s just sticking to their airfield like glue for a prolonged period, regardless of if there’s enemies around. Just leave them to it, go farm some AA/Pillboxes and win on tickets.

They’re only wasting their own time that way.

theyre wasting everyone’s time doing that, which is why base aa is a bigger problem, it encourages just steaming to airfields once the fight gets ever so slightly in favour for the enemy

I actually quite like it when people do this.

Rewards are directly tied to battle duration.

If someone wants to drag the game out, and allow me to farm a bunch of cheap free and easy RP/SL mopping up ground AI, all whilst ceding us the victory on tickets, I’m more than happy to take that deal.

It’s a rare treat being able to stack rewards without trial or contest in this game.

Yeah thats what I did but my ream was so usefull that we almost lost all tickets and I couldn’t get enough ground vehicels with my gsh 23 2 on my j8b

Surely there’s more fun things to be done than strafing helpless guys on the runway?
