like honestly have the devs actually tried to use their own fucking AAA turrets to hit anything in the sky… if real WW2 Anti-Air turrets were that ineffective every AA gunner would already be dead like you miss 95% of the bullets you fire at planes with this current slow ass AAA turret…
if your not gonna make the quad flak 38 fire like its suppose to then just give us single barrelled oerlikon 20mm cannon… with the proper fuckin sized mag… A cylindrical magazine holding 60 rounds
What sucks is their damage against planes. Increasing the rate of fire would just make them more of an OP anti infantry gun.
they already are used excessively for ground troops because they absolutely fucking suck against AA… their intended target… i can burn through 80 shots before i even land 2… its such a waste of ammo and time when i could just aim for the ground run 4 squads through and only miss 5 bullets
you don’t attack air superiority with a slow rate of fire unless your shooting huge explosive shells at them from those huge 200mm artillery cannons that are mainly only on heavy cruisers…
dev can buff the shit out of AA turret, aight, i dont care
but if they do buff AA, atleast make is so that AA isn’t use to fight infantry and act like armored semi-immortal MG nest…
Make them so they have positive depression or restrict player from building them INSIDE a building.
if they change it to a 20mm oerlikon you end up being a lot more exposed since it doesn’t have heavy armour plates, its a much lighter piece of equipment
come to think of it, the oerlikon would be a lot more realistic due to its size and weight, its more believable that a squad would be able to bring the oerlikon in then a quad flak 38
the quad flak and really any of those medium/heavy cannons should be part of a Mechanized Squad that spawns in a jeep with a towed gun behind it.

TBH i was pretty sucessfull with AA since nerf to planes, i either set them on fire with first magazines or shot off wing. AA is good right now imo.
Really? Tbh i never bothered to play AA anymore because plane became less annoying or less frequent after the nerf
what kinda planes you shooting… people suicide diving straight at you… yea idiots like that are easy enough to shoot because their coming right at you in a straight line… i’m talking about shooting them when their normally flying across the sky like a regular half decently skilled person in a plane…
Im waiting for my shot until im sure i will hit, thats something i picked up in WT and they rarely go straight for me as they dont know about me. I shot them from all directions, and in Moscow, Normandy and Tunisian campaign.
In one game i shot down i think 5-6 planes, in Moscow, as they all the time been in planes. Its actually pretty good, most of time you can just set them up fire and they cant do anything then.
What really would help, i suppose, would be the addition of the free-look-mode (by pressing C on pc) to actually see enemy planes far quicker.
If the pilot tries even a little bit, they are very hard to shoot down because of the HORRIBLE ammo capacity of the flak gun, and the awful turn rate. Lots of times a pilot is pulling away from a pass, and I shoot at him and hit him more than a few times with a magazine, and he just keeps on flying in a straight line because it doesn’t even bother him.
yep thats why im saying the oerlikon 20mm would be much better its single barrelled shoots at about 2x the rate of the flak 38 in game and holds 60 rounds in a drum magazine.
like not only that but the fact that its a smaller placement so it would be much more believable as something a squad would be able to carry in the oerlikon 20mm was used very widely in WW2
