Seriously i tried it out and it VERY hard to use in real match, and the fact that the weapon description doesnt tell you what the max distance is at all make it a guessing game.

There’s no lead indicator for Luftfaust even in BFV.
It’s just a toy for pro players, and I’m not one of them.

it absolutely does, especially due to the slow speed and bad ballistics.
irl the weapon was invented as a desperate measure against the allied plane supremacy, in hopes of getting something similar successful as the panzerfaust but for planes…it turned out to be basically impossible to use as it would require dozens of hours of training and thousands of shells fired before a soldier can reliably hit even low flying planes.
for that reason soldiers/volkssturm used it against weakly armored targets, weak fortifications & groups of enemy infantry instead. not a single enemy plane shot down by luftfausts is documented, instead reports of standard use against ground targets.
this means for enlisted its ahistorical & unrealistic to expect players to hit planes with it, making a lead indicator absolutely reasonable and required. also the indicator should work and be properly calibrated for the slow 20mm shells.

FTFY.
Sure, add a lead indicator specifically for the luftfaust. I don’t think it’ll change much of its performance, if at all.
Luftfaust should be lowered to BR2 or BR3 tbh while we’re at it

He should be downgraded to level 2.
