Did they recently make it harder to shoot down planes with AA

It takes me 3 times now even with the seemingly same sight picture I had in the past … in the past it was 1 time usually and then it was smoking - now it seems to just keep flying through the aa shells

thats because before planes could be shot down even with bolt action rifle…since it seems that the dev team has a hard time making things balanced they swing from one extreme to another. Now planes are almost immortal and can be shot down only if you manage to hit the engine (wich is pretty hard with the AA)

Ok thanks I thought I was loosing my mind guess it was stupid to fire at planes with rifles then during the War … since it doesn’t do anything … in my opinion to many pilots complained but to set up an aa it takes up an entire squad and the aa gun does not get unlimited ammo nor can it kill as many people in one pass as a plane but the aa used to could take out a squad ( a plane) If … it was in the right spot If this and that went well.

Been after the planes more its hard to shoot them down so much so one thinks just get used to getting killed by them. It is evident that the developers want planes to be overwhelmingly superior and a thorn in the side of most everyone else who is infantry.

whenever you finally ragequit the game a message pops up “haha pranked. this is an air sim with human targets!”

And yes planes, arty and tanks were all buffed so they can effortlessly shit on infantry all day.

ha ha this is great comment - I put up a lot of sandbags in an area it just wipes them out too.

had my entire squad get wiped out sitting in a building where a bomb was dropped behind a building across the street.

Wheeee

legit thinking about uninstalling till another major patch comes.

Are they even looking at it … Oh and do bots fly planes some planes seem like they fly really level and come in on a super straight line and slowly pull up … If bots fly they should definitely not have bots flying … at all.
