I have tested both allied and axis SPAA with clan, flying slowly past and even telling me what direction from, the reticle doesn’t show if you hit the plane, the worst I could do was turn his 110, Yak yellow, I tried leading the plane slightly ahead, tried dragging my aim before reticle with no effect.
On practice I see bullet drop on both guns at what seems like low ranges.
Suggestion: Buff AA damage or give us hit marker notification so we can tell we are getting hits.
I tried both AP and HE in tests, SPAA is not as effective as normal AA, seems to do much less damage and works different from a trajectory perspective too.
@James_Grove Hello, hoping this feedback gets passed back to devs, considering this is event reward for play 15+ days, you would expect it to work better

Also, while someone is looking at AA, please fix the misalignment of the aiming crosshair and where the guns are firing with static aa - the guns are not shooting where the crosshair points to, but rather the gun fire is significantly to the left of of the aim point!
Takes you 1 minute to check that in practice mode: build static aa, aim to the center of the nearest telephone pole, shoot and miss every shot and then cringe as you need to aim approx 1m to the right of the pole for the shots to hit.

It’s already known bug and we collecting others about that vehicle(we had a big hotfix for GAZ not long ago as you can see in patchnotes), if you have video and other helpful info you can post, forward it on CBR.

Thanks, but didn’t the patch notes reduce He damage or something? Which means allied weaker against planes right?
I trust devs know what to do, but atm, it is not worth putting them in line up… either of them, they don’t work as intended.

Its not just SPAA that is having troubles. Stationary AA is nearly worthless since the change to AA damage.
Other forum members tried to tell me its just the Soviet AA that is weak, but upon further testing, ALL the stationary AAs seem to have trouble bringing down planes now. The American AA even, with a 20 round mag and high fire rate, was having significant problems trying to bring down the Bf110. I hit it tons of times on each pass, but it seemed like it didn’t even matter.
I can understand that they wanted to reduce their direct power a little bit, but its going to take this many hits to kill something, the very least they can do is make shells that pass near planes explode and do damage. to increase the overall hits and have a better chance at bringing them down.
