nothing else to say, this needs to change
rockets have longer effective range than AA guns and kill everything without aiming.
after 3 years the best defense against planes is still ignoring them, this is ridiculous.

The defense against air threat is by being an air threat yourself

which is less effective than ignoring the plane, because you lose an active player on the actual battlefield

no its effectiveness directly reflects your skill

you guys need to have other arguments than “skill issue” because its just ridiculous after 3 years of hearing it as the main argument, for me its an instant filter than you guys have no idea about what you are talking about.

I agree with your post. The rocket spam gets super old. It’s not enjoyable.

The games designed assuming each team will take 1 fighter, 1 attacker, 2 tanks and then the rest infantry.
mostly what happens is one side actually fills all those roles while the other “ignores” them (or don’t do their job), giving the team free reign to do what they want, AKA rocket spam for free.
Fighters hard counter Attackers (people are too busy flying fighters as CAS and not doing their primary job)
AA hard counters any plane without rockets, (and any plane with rockets if you don’t give your position away too early)
its alot like what happens when no one on the team destroys tanks…and the tank just farms everyone for days
If no one is willing to do the job, their fate is deserved imo…its the price to be paid in a casual game where people do what they want, and not what they should.

Just had a game where stack of asian alphabet nicknames did constant suicide hvar spam.
Quite hard to intercept such as planes cant really hover like helicopters.

Spamming hvars somewhat guaranteed exp + kills each cycle -/- sitting in AA and maybe getting a plane kill every now and then.
Sounds fair trade off.

Speaking of which, helis when?
I’ve not had a problem, not to say there isn’t a problem but I haven’t seen a plane beat me while I’ve been in an AA gun (excluding the M13 GMC cuz that thing sucks)
Or you could pick any of the “proper” fighter aircraft (that few do because no big bombs)that fly circles around the favourite rocket spammers, and somewhat guarantee you will get more xp/score from shooting them down.
A dead plane = a good score and an instant ticket loss.
I often grind events in fighters vs usa for this reason. Lots of free plane kills. Couple of games and event is done

And as f2p player, if theres no planes to shoot down im stuck with useless vehicle aka against sovjets?
That, and the fact that this is combined arms games which regardless of that focuses mostly on infantry gameplay.
Doing a HVAR kamikaze strike takes max 20seconds and then you can again do something else.
While to counter that you would have to fly entire game with fighter.
Little exaggerate here, US would not have HVARs unless someones playing the logistic champ, driving HVARs with tugboat from UK to normandy.
As said, exaggerated but you get the point.
The “requirements” arent exactly balanced here.
Just to take this as example, sure I could ? For a while circle around the spawn and get some kills but eventually it ends anyway to situation that someone spawns behind me and shoots me down.
Except if defenders are spamming the hvars.

Vietnam bruh but seriously I don’t think people on the forum would want one in WW2 (personally I’m excited if enlisted ever go to Vietnam era)
If we are gonna add wooden tanks and nonexistent rifles for fun and call it necessary, I’m pulling this card.
Then I want my double flamethrower tank T33
In reality, I don’t want it added unless a reasonable amount were created and used and for the really rare stuff it could be an event, gold, or premium. I like this game to still be historically based (not necessarily accurate) and not turn into prototype simulator.
They are Warthunder ex-devs so ofc they will make planes insanely overpowered and keep AA at the minimal usable performance, it’s a miracle we have received a recent buff. It’s convenient for them since everyone only focuses on tanks “being op and spamming from greyzone”.
Anyway I still wish for heavy aa or better aa focus vehicle like ostwind
which fighters do you use? i cant decide between the g10 and k4
