The current anti-aircraft guns are far too strong. Not only do they have aim assist, they don’t overheat, and they can fire horizontally. It’s strange that players who just camp in the rear can get more points than players who fight on the full line, capture zones, and contribute to the victory, and there’s no point in having fighters that are specialized for shooting down fighters.

Well its not the Anti-Aircraft but the ability to put autoaming bots on that thing is the worst 
We can’t that just real player
I mean its not totally untrue, I think the aim assist on the AA guns is a bit broken. I mean like, an engineer squad is a hard counter to any air as of now. Like I dont place an AA gun in a strategic place, I just like a monkey, hear a plane engine, and wack down one right next to me, Shoot down said plane and then never touch it again.
Though maybe instead of just removing the lead indicator make it lag a bit so a place pulling evasive manoeuvres can have a decent chance of dodging incoming rounds. Would also mean people could still hit bombers coming in from the radio op call in
Or remove the lead indicator and the tank pen indicator entirely

Id be inclined to agree, the one drawback for me would be targeting AI bombers from the ground there, since you dont normally have the time or ammo to actually range in on them
Well then some are very very good at it then

Most players get killed in their planes because they fly straight in a line or straight on the cap / tank and are therefore an easy target for the AA true to the motto “I’m a big target and FreeXP because I can’t fly - hit me”
Again, it’s not the fault of the FLAKs, but rather the players who don’t know how to fly.
And although they have already been shot 2-3 times down by the AA, they try their botlike gameplay a 4th, 5th and 6th time and getting killed every time.
Learn resistant par excellence (same like they won’t learn to fight an IS 2 with a Pz II C or a Tiger II (H) with a T-60 again and again and again but blaming the game for that)

and some planes in high br are bit strong, you can damage critical spots even destroy tail and manage to drop their charge (usually rockets in USA) and good bye half your team
What AA guns do you have ?
And to no damage to infantery. It takes multiple hits to kill one.
rockets and big HE rounds are weapons you can use to defeat AAA
bob up and down as you try to locate the emplacement, fly parallel to where you think it is
then do a turn to attack, dispense your ordnance and continue turning, like a J.
if you do this, at no point the lead marker will work for the AAA crew.
it’s easier if you have another friendly plane. ideally you would coordinate so that one attracts enemy AAA fire and the other disables it. in reality, eventually your friendly plane will be bait.
after locating the AAA, flying close to the ground and dropping a bomb can also work, it’s just less reliable since you are not diving at the moment of bomb release.

yeah I have no clue why AA is so useless against infantry, was it done as a balance thing? like if so, why?

You wrong this thing should Even be buffed if i’m not wrong before the AA was even stronger (because it was a different AA)
I dont see the issue. AA at its finest… breaking pilots.

I don’t have that issue.
If you really destroyed the tail that he has no control about the plane. If you only critical damaged it he still can fly but doesn’t change the direction
What about the ones who jink and weave but get hit anyway?
BS post. you can have your opinion, but people need to clarify in the comments that weakening AA guns back to their retarded state of the past year is nonsense and will make the game worse.
they are still too weak as they got artificial nerfs once again by
a) limiting their damage against infantry (despite them being used against infantry in ww2, because they are a perfect weapon for unarmored targets)
b) the bombers flying so high now that the aiming circle doesnt properly work (no one asked for the bomber altitude increase, wtf ruin something that worked?)

AA is artificially nerfed against infantry, while right now being finally very strong against planes.
