As a player who loves planes more than anything i am begging you for the love of god chnage current aa guns to better models !!
Attacker spam was bad enough before the merge.
After the merge it is in EVERY CAMPAIGN !
You spam sb2m or il 2 (41) at Low tiers soviets br as much as you want and wipe out entire enemy columns with half of the enemy army
Every faction including italians and japanese developed diverse range of different aa guns in every calibre
Just a quick wiki search is enought to collect info about them
Current aa guns have very low ammo, small calibre rounds.
They can just tickle planes
My paper tiger japanese planes can take 4 flak damage in 4 sorties and still no substantial damage can be inflicted upon them

they are not going to cause AAA was abused to much on troops
They restricted angel of aa so its doable anyway.
Infantry gameplay is nearly impossible in open maps

Before aa upgrade they have already restricted their vertical angel .
Your arguments is totally false.
They changed aa to crap ones because they wanted to sell more rocket launching premium fighters in pacific to us whales.
You are a tester but unaware of game’s changes over the time than a normal player like me, shame

Yeah I don’t see why they made them much weaker.
The problem with the 4 barreled AA was that it was being used for infantry, just keep the depression limit on it and it’s no problem.
Tester im a bloody casual player that has seen the game get worse and worse over a year
But your name says you are tester at tunisia, stalimgrad ?
that just means you maxed out the both sides of the campaign levels on them before the merge screw up the game i should have the Normandy one two but i guess it was too late to count.
Imo power of aa is good enough to kill planes but not enough to stop them.
I often have situations where enemy plane takes all 20 shells, bombs anyway and suicide crashes. I get the points but ultimately I did nothing as my teammates are dead.
it can kill them but is 3 times longer time to kill vs the old guns load up a armored train with a friend in custom and see its center gun is the pree buted AAA in all ways
i seen that shit and worse in matches with the hackers back in mass
Different calibers on AA, that would be cool.
There are many anti-aircraft guns in the map but they cannot be used
I wish more AA guns could be added to the map that can be used

Be nice if they could, you take the point, you get access/control, to repair, and then there useable, sort of thing 
That’s a player catch 22 - they bitch about Aircraft Spam but build AA and use it vs ground.
The best limitation they had initially in it was limited Ammo.
Common sense needs to prevail. The AA should be varied and matched to combat planes.
IF you’re going to waste it shooting ground troops then don’t whine when your team gets bombed into oblivion.
OR perhaps from another context. Don’t whine about how other ppl misuse their Engineers, use them yourself and do the right thing. Unless ofcourse you’re happy to also build AA that can shoot up the infantry and then complain about the fact that you can do so…
This was a stupid idea, because shortly thereafter they brought in vehicle AA which can target what it wants and unlike the Engineer build structures it enjoys unlimited ammo, because they can drive to the reload point.
or because they promise us that we would faction specific AA for a long time and making them single mounts would be balanced for all as all had a single mount with russia not having a twin mount and quad was a maxim LMGs, japan only had single or twin, while the US and germany made extensive use of quad mounts though i have a feeling that if the US got the m45 AA piece german and japanese pilots would have a shit fit

I think the M45 would be just fine, but perhaps not on the M3 HT platform, noting that the original German AA was the 20mm Quad Flak, and you wouldn’t want to invite the Wirblewind into the game… Unlike the current M13 MGMC the original Quad Flak was super nerfed to ensure that it didn’t eliminate half the Soviet team by itself.
IF they gave both weapons their commensurate ROF and ammunition load outs neither Axis or Allied air would have much to do in higher BR games.

Oh 100% which brings back the fact that single mounts was done for balancing
