At present, the air defense guns cannot catch up with the aircraft, so the air force has almost no corresponding checks and balances in the current situation. Therefore, the average turning speed of the air defense guns needs to be changed.

It does, but at the same time a higher turret slew rate will just make it an absolute pain in the ass against infantry. IMO the Flakvierling should be ditched and replaced with a single 20mm with a faster turret slew rate or, retain the Flakvierling but give it a positive minimum elevation angle so as it can’t be used against infantry

That’s how AA works against low-flying aircraft. It was a real mechanical limit of the weapon platforms.
You need to predict where the plane is going to be and get your gun traversed over before the plane gets there, which should be common sense.
and thats why the aa is an anti infantry weapon (in enlisted)

Maybe both?
Add single 2cm canon with fast traverse but no shield and leave Flakvierling just like it is now.
(I’m not a fan of dumping assets that required work and money.)

Or remove shield from Flakvierling
And add crew that boost it’s performance but can be shot.

Yes this is also an agreeable option, also expanding further I’d like to see nation specific AA guns added to the game rather than everyone and their dog getting the Flak 38

It’s a matter of time.
If I remember correctly devs said they were going to replace it in OBT but apparently they had higher priorities, I don’t mind.
After the bomb nerf there is really no point in spending time shooting down planes. If the guy in the plane is good enough to rack up tons of kills he most likely has enough hours ingame to be of better use on the ground anyways
Bombs are still extremely effective in Tunisia where there’s enough elevated players to catch shrapnel.
its rotation speed is pretty true to life atm, but it is kinda useless with its slow ROF and lo damage
iv been riding them about this for the longest fucking time… the AAA gun they have right now is unrealistic as fuck for something a squad could put together and ontop of it the gun just sucks altogether for AA defence/attack shoots slow as hell has fuck all mag capacity and how the fuck would footsoldier’s haul in a multiple tonne emplacement…
they should change the flak 38 to the 20mm oerlikon with a standard 60 round drum mag
the flak 38 cannons they have right now would be great to put a bunch around a the maps on the defenders side as defensive emplacements
Except that rockets are still working as intendend.
