Buff AA guns

They straight up need to buff the AA guns. The damage values are ridiculous. I fired straight on a P47D straight on its main body and it didn’t go down. I’ve seen HMGs take down planes more often. It’s ridiculous that it’s HVARs can apparently penetrate through walls (Maybe even the crust of the earth) but multiple AA rounds to it’s engine does nothing

Exactly, they are next to useless on every plane except for the biplanes in Moscow and the U2 in Stalingrad, which you never see

that’s cause the old unlocked aaa was used on troops and they cried for it to be nrufed do often it dose not do realistic damage now that we have the new ones

And yet end game is gonna turn into a nightmare for some reason with magical weapons everywhere and yet we’re concerned about AA guns aiming down for some reason that makes sense I can see where the priorities are.

So overall we need stronger AA guns in tier 5 when people can do high altitude bombing And do some magical things with rockets if they know what they’re doing.

Skill issue - AA guns do plenty of damage to a/c, and there is no particular reason why they should kill instantly

Imo aa guns are in a decent spot. They have the advantages of guaranteed first strike (pilot wont see you until you fire and probably not even then), lead indicator and the fact the plane will always come to you.

Even if you dont kill the plane, the pilots cant repair whatever damage has been done and will likely slowly lose power/control and fall out of the sky eventually (pacific excepted).

But as long as the pilot is alert and experienced enough, he can dodge when he sees AA tracer rounds and fire two rockets at you.

Only if the aa gunner fires early. Completely up to the aa gunner how much time he gives the plane to react. The AA gunner dictates the play, The pilot can only react

I always hold fire until they are fully commited. Then there is nothing they can do but hope I miss.

I mean whats the goal? to stop the plane from rocketing your teammates or the point? you did that…he fired the rockets at you.

Or is it to kill the plane, in which case you need to time when you open fire better.

AA is already balanced. The imbalanced thing is P47. Soviet 's CAS is completely trash compared to US, and the only reliable bomber, IL2m has extremely poor maneuverability. AA can easily make it lose combat effectiveness.

AA attack also inflicts significant interference on high-speed fighter bombers like La-7, as it needs to get very close to its targets to ensure attack efficiency.

If you are dissatisfied with p47, you should let darkflow nerf p47, rather than buff AA. if AAs are strong enough to do all the air defenses, what are fighers supposed to do? sightseeing i suppose?

At least if drakflow doesn’t nerf P47, The best way to prevent P47 from dominating you is to get on a BF-109 and dominant them, not AA guns.

But I think the overheat speed of AA guns (and all auto cannons) really needs to be enhanced

sure that part Ill agree with. Especially Starter Tanks. I dont think overheat is necessary on AA either as they already have to reload.

damn, good thing the slavs don’t fight the americans…oh btw with the merger the ju-188 is a BR lower than the jug despite having the largest payload in the game

Okay, I agree. Thats exactly why I rarely use them, but fighters to hunt down bombers.

But there is no doubt that an AA gun can significantly interfere me while im using a bomber. I’m not sure if AA would be too deadly for low-speed aircrafts if they overheat more slowly.

i find AAA is a joke unless the gunner is dedicated to mastering them or gets lucky in plane i only notice it if i see it or it hits me most never hit

Never said kill instantly but if a flak round hits the engine of a plane and no damage is done whatsoever is straight up terrible. No damage to the engine

Have you tried shooting the wings?

yep agree with this since it the reason why i barely use the soviet truck cause it overheat way too fast

i mean modern aa only have 20 round so unless they are super good at targeting they would waste way more then they would hit
