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.
you do you, i prefer having fun.
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?
I feel theres difference between intentionally camping the airfield as part of your strategy
And just waiting for windown to land anf leave as to not give the enemy the kill for free.
it ends the game quick, if you cant land you cant land, you shouldnt be given a freebie at the expense of making the game worse.
There’s gun AA? Thought it was just Roland 1
im pretty sure it used to be, but since recently ive started getting sniped by things like veak, it has become essentially impossible to attack airfields without a2g weaponry, which whilst i like the idea that would be only if people actually had a reason to bring a2g weaponry.
right now it makes no sense as a change
Noob. get a missile, fly to the rear of the AF and shot the missile there.
good

you have to shimmy through the terrain and then pop up right over the runway to dumpster the camper
They usually do it when they have a ticket advantage and a skill/numbers disadvantage. It’s pussy behavior
Then fly something that has low ammo count and enjoy rearming for 5 ground targets instead of going in another match and having some fun/reward fighting players. If the match is far from decided, then yes strafing is a way to show you suck at the game but at the end, with a slight ticket disadvantage and a high numbers advantage it isnt. There are so many games 1v5 or more, and the one guy wins because he skillfully flies low alt circles over his af. Or 1v3s where one guy has to “camp” the airfield to keep the remaining enemy at a disadvantage.
Nice, i’d like to rearm and repair in peace.
[Lot of sarcasm and irritation coming.]
Oh no! I can’t camp enemy airfields for free frags! The horror! How else am I supposed to get frags except by having unfair advantage?
I have to take out ground targets instead, how dare I be forced to earn extra rewards via an elongated game!
Alright, end of sarcastic critique.
In all seriousness I do ground striking when no one’s around the battlefield because it’s extra rewards than just fragging the last guy or two, and it gives ticket advantage.
There is no defined use for base AA, gaijin has never really specified what the intent of it is.
Are you trying to say it’s NOT meant to keep enemies away from the airfield because that’s all I said
I am saying that its not said what the point of it is? There are other purposes to base aa other than “die if approach”
My statement was simple, I wouldn’t say that guns and missiles are meant to attract hostile planes
