The anti-aircraft guns in this game have been weakened too much, but the most unbearable thing for me is that the anti-aircraft guns cannot cause effective damage to paratroopers. When a 20mm anti-aircraft gun hits a paratrooper, it may even take multiple hits to kill it.
Come on, is this a paratrooper or Superman? Do you know what will happen if a 20mm cannon hits a human body? The human body will explode like a watermelon. Moreover, most of the ammunition used by the 20mm anti-aircraft gun is high-explosive bombs, and its damage to soldiers should be fatal.
The anti-aircraft gun should be strengthened, mainly to enhance the air-to-air efficiency. It should be the main means of countering aircraft and paratroopers. A paratrooper hit by an anti-aircraft gun should be able to be killed in one hit, just like an HMG hitting an ordinary soldier.
In reality, the anti-aircraft gun does not even need to target the paratroopers, it only needs to hit the parachutes of the paratroopers.
And I think barrel overheating is a useless mechanism. Anti-aircraft guns can no longer pose a threat to infantry with horizontal fire. Why add an extra barrel for overheating?
its because AA guns were nerfed to prevent players from spamming them. This nerf no longer makes sense and should be reversed so one hit from AA would kill the enemy soldier.
I completely agree that AA has been weakened too much and is no longer suitable for the current game environment. This is a legacy issue after AA was seriously abused in 2022.
It can’t even perform its own job, and its efficiency against air or anti-paratroopers is extremely low.
AA is in urgent need of strengthening
I think with little bit of bandage and sickleave “he” would have been fine.
Anyway, id point out the fact that paratroopers also take reduced dmg from BA rifles.
Which to some extend is fine as they no longer deploy the shute ~2m above the ground.
But as sometimes ive had to hit same para more than 3 times with BA to get the kill its bit exaggerated.
I have some pictures but I can’t post them because it might make people uncomfortable
But please believe me, the high-explosive shells fired by the 20mm anti-aircraft guns are enough to blow a person to pieces. Not only that, the HMG bullets are also enough to break a person’s spine and split him in two.
The current problem is that it may take 4 to 6 hits from anti-aircraft guns to successfully kill a paratrooper. This is ridiculous.
Sure, but I guess its like that due to fact that shooting paras with AA is kinda like shooting fish in the barrel with cannon.
As above said, paras already got theyr nerf.
And yes 4-6 hits is way too much but I wouldnt introduce the 1hit kill either, some kind of middle ground would be preferable
Perhaps an average of about 2 rounds will kill a paratrooper. Considering that the current anti-aircraft gun only has 20 rounds and the barrel is overheated, the error tolerance rate is actually not high.
The biggest problem is that the anti-aircraft gun itself has been weakened too much. If it is flak38, even if the damage is not changed, it can still complete the task well.
I agree. The AA guns are bunk. I have made a post about them in the past and if they would remove the overheat mechanism, as well as increase the damage or explosive power of the ammunition I would be much more likely to use the AA gun.
but someone said that The AA guns do a certain amount of damage so as to not instant break the HP of plane components, which is apparantly way less than a player model, hence the poor damage on player models.
Makes sense I guess. Have to be careful buffing for one when It effects the other. AA is in a good spot damage wise against planes, to buff it further would require PLane HP component buff and yeah…gets finicky
I’m not very clear
But when I use the anti-aircraft gun to shoot ground infantry, its damage is correct.
Maybe it has something to do with reducing damage to the limbs? Because it’s easier for you to hit a paratrooper in the leg.
The damage to the feet is only about 0.3, and the calf is only 0.45.
Maybe it has something to do with this? I do not understand
