AA gun rework?

AA guns are basically useless with the ratio of aircraft to efficiency, sure you can shoot down A plane with a AA gun but is it really worth the effort when some one else just takes out a new plane
the problems i think it has is as follows and ideas to fix

  • you can get shot off it so easily -making AI active defend the gun rather then just hang around would help
  • low ammo count - im sure that the flakvierling 20mm had 20round mags? but building ammo boxes could also help
  • low damage - now im not saying that hits should be a kill but a small module damage buff would help
  • slow turn speed - to be fair it is pretty realistic
  • no spread on the shots - im sure that the flakvierling actually fired its guns in alternating pairs
  • tracers that it has basically paint a target on you for both air and ground forces - no tracers untill the shells are 80 meters out
  • low xp reward for shooting planes - XP for damage and lots of XP for kills

im not saying that it need to be buffed to be the end all be all, but some small buffs would be rather helpful

Make bomber planes avaible only after a 6 squad rotation instead of 3, and they will learn to fear AA. AA isn’t the problem, the profusion of bombers is.

Make planes give you 1000 experience for shooting them down… that’d encourage them to get shot down much more often!

They’re fine, but needs more ammo that’s all I think

Greenkraut Think the same.

More Ammo for the AA Turret.
Or a Option that Players can take Ammo from the Ammo Crate and resupply so the AA Turret.

I want this:

as part of AA buff. Not now of course but one day I want to see something like that.

I think devs can start with giving AA more ammo and a slightly faster traverse speed. Then let us test that for a bit before any more tweaking.

But yes something needs to be done about AA

At this point you should get a premium squad and 6 months of Premium account if ya shoot down a plane…

[Speirs_Cpt] its possible to shoot down Planes with AA.

But i prefer a SMG ( when they fly low over the ground ) or Tank ( it can be like a powerful mobile AA ) or just another Plane for it.
