We definitely need way more xp per plane kills because pilot can just bail out at any time if it’s just smoking or burning and you get no xp for his ass while with tank it’s always 3-5 kills and sometimes more like with M3 Grant.

All I see is never ending wall of text. Plus I think AA are pretty okay atm.

As someone who uses planes quite a lot, AA is certainly still deadly to planes, especially given that the majority of pilots happily fly around within the AA’s engagement envelope, in part forced by the performance of the aircraft ingame and in part by the restricted battlespace.
For accurate attacks with aircraft ordnance, planes have to follow fairly predictable paths, an AA gun that remains hidden until planes are diving in for an attack is almost guaranteed a plane kill. An AA gun that doesn’t fire until it’s too late for enemy planes and relocates often will at the very least completely neuter enemy aircraft that are determined to stay alive, that last part being a big caveat and a core issue with the game; especially for defenders and people with multiple vehicles slots, it’s often just as easy as dumping the plane and jumping in another.
tl;dr AA guns are still pretty effective due to how the game works, but similarly it can sometimes at best only reduce the overall effectiveness of enemy air attacks rather than stop them completely due to how easy it is to constantly spam vehicles.

HaHaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! 90% of AAA fire misses if you do fire first make sure its in the planes back or you just make yourself the bombers target.

no i go up and dog fight or just use a tank cannon as they pass, Moscow AT cannon to bomber tail was my fave shit ever. but i shot planes with pistols. But i dont even worry about AAA unless its a vehicle mount when i fly cause its not a threat most the time
I doubt you ever played moscow when the quad AA could target ground targets.
super fun it was, built AA gun somewhere in between houses so enemy infantry had no way of taking the AA out → proceed to shoot thru walls to cap point and killing everyone without enemy having a slightest chance to do anything about it.
Well nowadays it probably wont pen thru walls but due to 0 rng unlike HMG im quite sure the AA would be used as high mag sniper, killing ppl across the map without a care in the world.
“Easily” is quite subjective if a tank is required everytime someone builds AA to edge of map to just mow down infantry I wouldnt really consider it as easy.
They’re in a very good place atm.
Not too easy (as before) and not too hard.
Now it’s more like an actual fight between the pilot and AA-gunner (as Keckles pointed out).
That’s also how it should be.
I use them fairly often (all sides) and they work just great for me.
What’s the problem?

they have to increase the depression of aa gun aim like 5 degrees

I agree with this.
Only 2 problems I have with AA is stupid high overheat rate and no gun depresion.
Othen than that I think they are ok.
Oh, also pilot suiciding should give AA gunner a kill.
