This would be an awesome AA gun to have for the Allies instead of the 2 cm Flakvierling 38. Just seems weird building a German gun for AA support on Allies

Proper models are sure to come eventually. Same will go for mg nests from engineers II (they’re all mg42)

Flak guns and MG emplacements have been confirmed as placeholders.

Makes me wonder… engineers will probably just ditch the mg nest entirely because… quadruple 50 cal hmg? (In a protected armoured seat) Hurhurhur. Something like the quad maxim lmg for the soviets might be funny too.
I mean I think it would be cool to have engineers be able to swap out what they can build
Hedgehog or Dragon’s teeth
Pak40 v LG40
MG34 sandbag v MG42 on laffette mount

Remove this sandbag idiocy and you have +1.

People are allergic to using AA guns to shoot at planes.
Just use the AA gun to shoot at infantry, then go on the forums and complain that bomber everybody is ignoring is too overpowered.
I’ve seen dozens of engineers build AA guns, and shoot at infantry, meanwhile there’s a bomber hovering over the battlefield that they could deal with, but no, why bother.

Your answer is simple: ppl stoped bothering because since darkflow… “reviewed” their planes models, bombers are now bullet sponges. Also EVEN if one guy get lucky enough to cripple the bomber using his 10 AA shots, it’s still too late, the pilot will most likely suicide bomb anyway, and another will take his spot soon after.

People never bothered in the first place.
The problem that we have is of darkflows own making that has no easy solution.
Make the DM too flimsy? The AI will constantly snap-shot up to planes and 1-shot them, like in CBT and early OBT.
Make the DM too tanky? Planes will never go down, they actually used to be far, far tankier than they are now for a couple weeks.
The AA can and does kill planes, however, it’s not point and click instant gratification. It’ll cripple it and it will go down in a minute or two if you actually hit it.
If a plane is in the sky it’s already too late since he will do some damage no matter what happens, so this is a moot point.
So, like tanks being killed and suddenly there’s another tank behind him, so you kill him, and there’s another one behind him in 10 seconds, and so on.
I just finished a match where I stopped the entire push with one tank positioned well, far out of range of any infantry, and too far for any tank to penetrate my armor at the angle I was at, and yes, they did try, and all it resulted is me turning and turret and removing them from existence, and then back to murdering their infantry.
Clearly that was balanced. The enemy definitely had ways to counter me, oh wait, they had exactly 0. The only way to counter me was with CAS.
Beautiful thesis… but pointless on me 🤷 You don’t need to explain all those facts as to why YOU think AA is useful on planes, ppl think it isn’t, wich is what I was saying, merely repeating what I’ve seen and read the most from others opinions. Feel free to shoot at bombers with AA thought, I’m sure it will help alot…
Planes tank multiple belts of AA Fire and keep going. That’s why nobody bothers.
Stop spreading disinfo because you are scared your precious XP printer is going to get nerfed.

Right right, same reason why people don’t use fighters, why bother trying to kill something that’s screwing you. Truly, why bother.
Stop being toxic because you assume I only play planes.
Well you quite clearly said in the other topic that once the planes get nerfed you return to sit on greyzone with tank.
Are your eyeballs connected to your brain?
The answer is obviously no considering you either didn’t, or just plain can’t read what I said and you’re taking your own implications and putting them on me. Nice projection.
→make false implications that never happened
→project your own views on someone else
→false report the post
Yeah, fits.
Must be the eyeballs.

Now show me where exactly did I use the words “I will sit in a gray zone and kill from there”
Thats the only place where you remain untouched by infantry or againts enemy tanks.
What happened to “what’s fun for me is not necessarily what’s fun for you :)”
Why get so defensive about you spawn bombing and camping grey zones? It’s all relative.

There is no reason to try to kill a bombers since the next second another sky cancer will spawn. This is a perpetual situation, so no reason to bother shooting them down
