The current anti-aircraft guns in this game are very ineffective. In this case, why don’t players be allowed to build larger-caliber anti-aircraft guns?As far as I know, most countries in the game currently have larger caliber anti-aircraft guns.
For example, allowing German engineers to build flak36/37
This anti-aircraft gun is also used by the Italian army
The Soviet Army could get the M1939 (61-K)
whats the japanese one
What do you mean by saying “ineffective”? I’ve shot a bunch o’ planes down with these AA. They’re not as good as the previous one, but they work as intended.
I’d suggest to add a new type of AA with the Engineer II or III, so you can have some kind of hapinnes once you unlock them. Not like now, where you just get an MG and some other random perks?
Type 96,double cannon or triple cannon
What make it ineffective beside the restricted elevation?
I test the AA gun, and they’re still good at taking out planes.

fun fact, you can see the triple cannon in one of the new pacific maps as scenario feature
The old quad 20mm Flak can kill 5 AI bombers, people want them back cuz the single barrel one can’t
and hence it is requested that the engineer squads be improved in the sense of: engineers 1 have structures of lower power and resistance but greater ease of construction and engineers 2 structures of greater power and greater resistance with new specific constructions and slow time for build, I know that This game isn’t hell let loose, but it is well known that players have been asking for years to be able to build different types of defense and their pleas have fallen on deaf ears while things are added that have NOT been requested, such as the latest “improvement” to the tank repair system
The devs do whatever the hell they want, their latest Graphical update screw up Berlin inroom lighting that I need NVG to walk around inside of it
it’s so hard see inside lol
They’re more interested in plain sales and they don’t want to ruin the sales on planes if AA guns work like they’re supposed to who wanna fly a plane And the only ones who would benefit from AA guns working like they supposed to are ace pilots they know how to dodge them.
一式三十七粍高射機関砲
It is the flak18 37mm anti-aircraft gun produced by the Japanese army under license from Rheinmetall
The production of flak 18 37mm is very small, and some of them are sold to the Chinese army
In addition, the Japanese army also planned to imitate the Bofors, but only two were produced until the end of the war.
inefficient rather than completely useless
Apparently the current AA guns are much less effective than previous versions
However, flak38 is unique to Germany. It may not be easy for other countries to have the same 20mm quadruple anti-aircraft gun. Different calibers and quantities will lead to an unbalanced game. I don’t want to see all countries using flak38.
Therefore, air defense with a larger caliber is installed in many countries, that is, the 37mm caliber, and all countries can be unified without a balance disaster.
Larger caliber anti-aircraft guns will also improve anti-aircraft efficiency
Yeah, it’s not completely ineffective
It’s obviously not as good as the previous flak38
Oh no, of course not. It’s one single cannon shooting 20 mm (or smaller) to airplanes, so I understand what you mean. I think they wanted to give some… realism (?) and also nerf it a bit, 'cause as I read before, you could shoot down 5 planes in a row with the previous one.
That’s should be the base performance of a AA gun, if you can’t drop 5 bombers, is just bad
overheating and small ammo count. yes you can kill planes (bombers are relatively easy), but player controlled planes arent so easy to take down. many times you can kill him only after plane made 2-3 bombing runs.
I think it would be nice for engineers to get a better AA gun, I like that AT squads and LMG engi can build the guns now but it kind of took the shine away from the engineer squad, all thats unique to them now is the AA gun really, and thats kind of sad with how it performs these days. I feel like the MG nests get out performed by the HMG ones.
Agree. But consider that a bunch of people complained about it, about the amount of planes you could shoot down and how OP they were. So, they needed to create a way to nerf it without being so obvious, the result: change AA guns and change thee way they work and shoot.
I mean from overheat quickly, can’t aim down, takes time to deploy, shite turn rate and buggy terrain, you can’t neuter the AA that much and killing its role, a lack of AA means rampant Air Superiority, and Normandy Exist to proves that
