AA Lead Indicator Needs to Be Removed

AA is way too overpowered. Even my grandma could sit on a AA built in some obscure corner deep in the grey zone and single-handedly ban all enemy planes for the whole game.

Since when did WWII soldiers have neural chips that calculate perfect lead time in real time?

Aircrafts in the game are already fragile,get hit by one or two AA shells and you’re basically done. With the lead indicator, once an AA locks onto you, you’re as good as dead. And there’s absolutely no way for aircraft to counter a hidden AA.

Right now, planes are already reduced to being just tactical tools. Their bombs and rockets have been nerfed again and again, so they’re mostly just used to deal with spamming grey zone tanks. But even for that role, they’re being hard-countered by grey zone AA—an even worse and more toxic mechanic.

Removing the AA lead indicator would be a step in the right direction. It would also encourage engineers to build AA closer to the front lines, rather than hiding it in unreachable corners.

think about it, how many people enlisted know how to use AA or even need them? from 100 to at most 2, by simple math AA are not the problem, the problem is that those who know how to play take advantage and use AA for what it is made for in the game which is to suppress the use of planes, just as AT are used to wipe out tanks a good AT user can make a game without needing to bring out a single allied tank what are they going to do? nerf the AT because a person knows how to use them?

I dont think the lead indicator should be removed

However

The lead indicator should not be visible through obstacles like trees. It is a bit crazy that it acts almost like radar right now

In my opinion AA should automatically be marked for planes. If the aa can see the plane marker from kilometers away then so should the plane

Im still a great fan of the suggestion for it instead, only appearing at very long range for AA guns, but it disappearing as the plane gets closer, allowing the pilot a chance to see and dodgy said laser beam accurate fire.

On planes it should be the inverse, where it will only show up when your within say 300-400m of an enemy plane, this would great benefit energy fighters who atm arent fast enough to escape the lead indicator.

lol, absolutely not. Aircraft spam is already toxic enough as it is.
Building an AA comes with sacrifices, a player has to spawn engineer squad, build AA than wait until the flying coward comes into range.

And even then if you have just a little skill, you can easily evade his shots…

yes butt if DF nerf all plane’s max speed to 100km/h

no

around same time when WW2 pilots spammed spot button randomly to forest and got massive red indicator of enemy tanks.

Lol, yesterday I saw guy with 0 death and few kills has almost 30 plane kill because all he did was sitting behind greyzone during conquest game, but as for the topic, indicator should stay becuase planes are already being annoying when they are allowed to be free

plane spam is toxic and needs counters

Yeah, no.

Then AA should always know where the plane is. Sometimes I can never find the plane and if they always know my location they’ll just bolt me before I see them

yes remove it I would love this :smiley:

It will be very good change mostly for me … this losers will need to learn to aim not play with the current wallhack that lead indicators are xD

First remove 10hvar , 8hvar, 1000pdr x 2, 250kg x 6

Then I will agree

No we don’t do that actually we can give the Thunderbolt its 2 missing bombs yes this thing actually can carry even more armament I know its hard to imagine but well it can :smiley:
