Strafe running is an daunting task and usually depends on marks or just peppering in general direction where you might think the enemy will be. Sometimes you can see their shot lines and go for those.
How ever ive just noticed that enemy soldiers usually render in at 300 something meters which usually is to late to be able to aim in at and can be quite hard to do not to crash in the process. I mean if i can distinguish and door from where im looking i should be seeing an human or many humans at the same size moving around in the open.
Idk if this is an graphic thing you can adjust but its rly hard at times even if you move in really slow which is even higher risk to do
Anyways since Fighter planes at the higher level depends on strafe runs if theres no planes around to hunt, this should be re looked at.
And last ive many times managed to hit Infantry on the ground with my 15mm and they just got hurt. That thing needs to one shot hit down or kill on any part. Ive seen what 20mm can do to things irl and that 15 or 20 shouldnt be no difference. Even the 7mm should have some small extra umpf so planes can help out easier, dont have to be substantial

Strange that AT rifles can one shot while planes with same caliber or bigger struggles down them.

Bot with bolt-action are better
yeah that sht needs to stop. They can crit hit your plane to if youre unlucky or just shoot you in the head in an sharp turn like some kind of robin hood homing missile

Strange things bot with other weapons dont fire at planes seems a feature of bolt-action only
AT riflemen also shoots at them. Ive seen bots rocking loose on those planes sometimes
Only with bolt-action AT the bot with PTRS-41 (semi-automatic) dont do this
Weird cause ive seen my german AT soldiers shoot at them and they only shoot with the AT rifle even at infantry which pisses me off xD Especially having to change to one realizing that you need to reload first before you can fire which sometimes ended up in disaster
German AT rifle are bolt-action my point is only Bot with bolt-action weapon shoot at plane
oh i get what you mean now. Yeah dont think ive seen one of my MG do that

Maybe is a hidden feature for make bolt-action useful 
this maybe is nice with a 12 man japanese arisaka squad, the perfect AA

All the damn time. It gets very frustrating from time to time honestly.

Well, as far as I know irl effect of strafing was limited in terms of phisicall damage.
It was far more devastating in terms of morale and suppression. But in most games there is no morale and imo suppression won’t be implemented to the game ever.
there is an form of suppression affect. Not technical but still psychological.
When i do a lot of strafe runs or get strafed on the ground i tend to take cover and bots starts to react sometimes on the plane asw shooting so it leave room for the men on the ground in some way. + they get annoyed and send up planes of their own asw as building AA.
/Would be cool though if the enemy AI would take cover when an strafing run comes in/
FIghters are hard to kill though with AA as well because of their speed and slickness but sure they are fragile to if they get hit but so are most of the planes except IL2 which can take one clip of AAA and still fly like nothing happened¨
There are also other technical problems being an fighter or a plane overal and is suicide people.
You can have an prolonged dogfight that takes a lot of time in the match or they try to hit you in the back, but if they cant in both of those situations they suicide leaving you with nothing. Sure sometimes you get the kill if you managed to hit them but even with that one usually leaves you with nothing. Countless times ive manage to hit them before they died and still it didnt register and ive just spent 10-15 min for nothing sometimes fighting 2 planes at once
Anyways here some Strafing tagteam with mr Stuka <3
It works only with new-ish players. Vets know that dying doesn’t matter at all so why bother?
It’s also why I got borred with this game. It lacks emotions.
With rest I agree.
