So the anti air is a long hate/ love story in this game. It was OP agains infantry and has been fixes, it was OP against planes and had been fixed. But know it makes nearly 0 damage, whiff ist wrong with you devs? I could some month ago kill a hole bomber run with 2 AAs or get every player down within two runs of an fighter plane but know??? I can get killed on bomber with two AAs in a bomber attack and it is nearly impossible to get one fighter down. I had 45 hits on the last fighter and he did not crashed. Dear devs, you have made the Anti air obsolet in the game…thanks for another broken feature.

This is an obsolete talked about topic at this point there are countless numbers of complaints at this point
This indicates that nothing happens.

In general, planes received a powerful buff for unknown reasons.
Previously, the series broke off the wing or tail as in WT, and now you can put the entire fire unit into the plane and it flies on.
Same with bombers. Previously, an accurate burst and fell, and now it can withstand a hit from the 37mm cannon BF110.

Just wanna point out that last time i checked, the gun crosshair was misaligned with where the gun shoots already at 10m distance. Which likely doesn’t help.

planes were only ever “good” during CBT, while they exploded basically by only looking at them, however in the rights hands, team wipes were still very possible.

I still find the AA guns to be on the whole more accurate than the old ones, and reasonably lethal now, before they were one hit wonders.
So, Better by far imo…
teams? Bombs killed soldiers in buildings, shrapnel went through walls. Even 70 frags were going to be done with one raid, including 20 on allies

exactly my thoughts : D
Litteraly all of my AA kills recently where me shooting off the tail because you can´t atomize a plane like you used to. You probably didn´t even hit the plane wich I can´t fault you for since those things aren´t very user friendly.

I got 45 hits on the runes of en enemy plane. Another time I shoot down 3 engins from a bomber how had 4 and not one of them were a kill. AA maybe was OP but now it is completely useless.

They may was OP some time ago, but now they are useless. It is no chance to the better. The said they let the aa for first Engineerscuqad so you have something to defend against planes. But now the AA is useless, so what is the point of that? Maybe make it not OP but also not completely useless!

I can remember a time before mg nests and everyone built them as anti personnel turrets. Alas those days are long gone and I no longer use the AA function the new SPAA was pushed hard so maybe a buff is coming.

I suppose it depends a lot on wich plane you are shooting at. I imagine planes used in 1944-45 could take more shots and evade them much better than planes in 1941-42 could. I got most of my recent kills in Tunisia, Pacific and Stalingrad.
You are way wrong. British planes were build lighter and could be destroyed faster. Americans were be stronger in structure and slower. But anyway it depends on what the devs are developing. And at the moment the AA is just useless. Maybe it is historical correct but it dose brake the balance of the game if you can not hurt as ground unit anymore planes.

Egh I´m pretty sure that´s not true. I have the feeling there´s a certain language barrier here because you are making some very big generalizations there wich can´t possibly be true. What you seem to be describing seems to be the Mosquito and P-47 in paticular. Japanese planes are the only ones wich feel more frail than usual, but I haven´t used the Pacific US planes beyond the Seaplane so maybe they´re too. They go down pretty fast when shot at by AAs for me.
Id say the current AA guns are low BR AA guns. Im sure there will be plans to evolve into dual cannons, then quad cannons at high tier. I haven’t used the new AA guns for a few weeks, but when I did they were still pretty good (don’t know if anything further has changed), but they will be more than enough vs low BR planes.

Trust me, I’ve mentioned upping the damage as well. Numerous times.
With the “new” models for the AAs rather than the old quad AA, they really should consider letting them angle down to be used against infantry as well. After all, the SPAAs and HMGs are still more effective, but it would make the AAs much more viable overall.

AA II should be a flack battery and we’ll see how planes fair against an 88mm German flack shell lol they were extremely common and you even see the models in game as part of the terrain.
The current AA gun is just a piece of shit
