There is a certain player (it starts with ccc***) always on the German that is Olympic level targeting of aircraft from ground with some type of AA capability. I see no tracer rounds. It is always a single shot. No one has mark on a track vehicle. We are talking 20 aircraft kills from the ground. Thoughts?

Please post the replay at least, however AA guns on the ground do have an aim lead indicator, like the ones aircraft get against each other, which can be fairly brokenly OP, especially since Line of Sight isnt required.

AA guns have similar render issues to infantry.
I suspect if the AA gun isnt rendered, the tracers wont either.
Also AA guns are incredibly OP for someone who knows what they are doing.
Not suprised about said player. 20 Kills isnt over the top

Looks like someone has practised with AA - good for them - you might learn from their dedication to a role!
If you think a player’s ability is suspicious, then it’s a good idea to find the replay and have a watch at their playstyle. If it still looks dodgy, you can click the ! icon next to their name on the replay site and report them. The devs will have a look themselves, and act accordingly.
That said, with enough practice, it’s pretty easy to knock out a plane with AA (and even a bolt-action rifle, SMG, or pistol!), though one-hitting using AA without any other tracer fire does seem a little suspicious.
By all means send a link to the replay to myself via PM and I’ll have a look. I’m kinda curious now.
That is some good shooting. That cheeky shots through the trees was awesome’ surprised the trees allowed it. Had that have been a bush with enlisteds mechanics… maybe not lol
I wish all engineers could build those regardless of the squad. Shame its tied to certain engineer squads and not to the individual engineer. Hmmm can i poll for that one or would i get laughted out of the bar? Xxx

Lord no, they are hella busted as is, though I would still like their damage buffed vs infantry tbf.

but seriously. Lead indicator did the heavy lifting. Its so busted. I hate it
Would love them to do more damage to infantry, same as @Admiral_Wenli …But I would also like quads to come back for greater volume of fire…just with no lead indicator or heavily modified lead indicator mechanics
If quads come back with the current lead indicator, I’ll probably just do my flying in Warthunder, and wait for infantry there (Most likely doing that anyway)
Since Warthunder Infantry Mentioned there would be Arcade and Realistic…Realistic is where I want to be

Im not too hyped, WT has gone downhill so massively, they removed all the fun air maps, and all the ground maps are being made more and more of the same, close range brawl pits which fucking suck, I miss the days of proper maginot sniping, where no one could advance and it was a game of luck and skill trying to hit weakspots at 1km+.

Its mainly the Flying I like. ( I do love Naval, except the game mode sucks…rather pointless)
I have always found Air RB to be boring, I only ever do it when grinding mindlessly bombing bases. (I dont like that everyone is on the HUD…so I play ground RB to fly lol)
While The tanking gameplay is no where near as cool as when it first dropped (you could go anywhere on maps, pre traction nerf, pre spotting…you could literally ambush entire teams from the most unexpected position).
But yeah. I still love flying in ground RB (No HUD). Get a bunch of kills on my first tank spawn to fund planes for the rest of the match. Flying there is still really enjoyable
Im not expecting huge amounts from Warthunder Infantry, I just expect that it will get more funding and attention than Enlisted…I have been here for years waiting for the potential Enlisted showed, I dont believe its on the cards…I am not part of the target audience anymore…And since I have 10 years of progress in Warthunder anyway…
maybe render distance will actually be further than 200 meters in warthunder and the AI better 
(I mean at least in the WW 1 event the AI took cover in trenches properly)

100% agree, its why I moved to enlisted, it still has the RB mode control scheme, but with the sim battle cockpits and Hud (minus the lead indicator, but thats another discussion).
Its so fucking ass, I hate the traction nerfs so much, especially since they make no sense at fucking all, irl all those vehicles can move far more vertically than even pre traction nerfs. But see my point on all maps being made to be the same, there is so little use in map knowledge or anything these days, its just the same, “Push, shoot first and win”, it plays more like a CoD title than what WT originally was.
Also I fucking love Enlisted for how you see out of tanks, its such a fun mechanic that allows infantry an actual chance to sneak up or around tanks in game.
Yeah… who knows, I just hope WT infantry gets buffed AI while enlisted is kept as its own separate thing, stealing more stuff from WT as usual.

Some people are just way too good with AA, its way worse when they shoot down ur transport plane in 0.2 second when you click to spawn as paratroopers…
