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

24

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

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

35

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”

36

My statement was simple, I wouldn’t say that guns and missiles are meant to attract hostile planes

37

sigh, let me break it down for you

Base could be meant for a few things…:

  1. To COMPLETELY KILL ALL THAT APPROACH
  2. To heavily DISCOURAGE approaching but not to be a “forcefield”
  3. To be a slight deterrent but not meant to keep you from killing ppl on runway
  4. Cosmetic

That is the varying degree to which they could model aa… they have not said which they actually mean to have

You are acting like I made a complex comment. Seriously read my reply again, our points are not mutually exclusive.

Are you the type of mf that calls the last plane on their team that stays near their air defense a coward when its literally a 1v5?

Exactly f’ing this.

41
