They spawn planes. They go bombing one round and suiciding.
They are getting the bombing kills and the AA are getting @@ !
FIX THAT SHIT!

Damn I didn’t know axis could win in Tunisia
It’s mostly the event seeing the game crammed full of none bots
Makes sense then
All is as it should be then
I’m not sure how many battles did I play today as Axis in Tunisia, but it was something like 8 wins straight, only now I lost 2.
BTW, Europe server
Using engineers to shoot down planes with AA guns should definitely pay out MUCH more.
AA is extremely important and very few people are doing it on the games, unfortunately.
Also, having an engineer squad is always a sacrifice that someone made. Therefore it should also pay off much more than it does.
Personally I think I downed a plane 1 time with AA gun and engineer squad and I have been playing this game for 2 years or so now?
- I saw how long it took for me to get that plane down and how much it “paid off” and decided not to bother anymore (Sorry).
Besides, many players would not hunt for the planes as a primary goal anyway. No matter how much it would pay off, therefore the “price” of shooting the plane down with AA guns could be substantial, it takes a lot of effort.
This would also force airplanes to attack carefully and have a constant realistic AA threat as they had in the WWII.

If I use my engi squad and see enemy planes, I use the AAA.
And I get those planes in the most cases.
As someone that also plays planes a lot I can tell you the biggest mistake most people do with AA-Guns.
They fire way too early. Just because that funny circle shows up does not mean you can land effective hits. In fact, you give just your position away. This is also the reason why I destroy most AAA with my IL-2 with barely any scratches.
The next important thing is of course to pick a suitable position for your gun.
It actually gives you points but only if the pilot stays in the plane.
You get the plane kill even if the pilot jumps out a whole minute before the plane actually crashes, but you have to make sure to get the last hit on it.
Also, as Axis, I always run interceptors in case there are one or two annoying close air support players. I ditch my plane as soon as the enemies are down and after waiting a few extra seconds in case someone has multiple planes in their playable squad list.
There is usually too much time wasted building an AA gun in a good position to kill planes, and then you don’t get to support your team taking the cap . Caps are more important than worrying about planes, sometimes. It depends on the map and the effectiveness of the pilot, too.

It’s actually now very easy to shot planes down with the AA guns, I had one match where I shot down five of them, but I only got credit for one of them…
But it does take patience to do it if you’re going to do it because you have to sit there and wait for the plants and sometimes there aren’t that many planes flying.
The nice thing now though is that those AA guns are much easier to use against infantry I got quite a few kills today doing just that
I think the amount that you’re being rewarded is worth it because it’s consistent with what you get for shooting down a plane with another plan I just wish that you would actually get credit for shooting them down and that seems to be very bugged right now

You can get a lot kills I 've got a max of 12 or something, I have another post with a screenshot in forum. But it was again because one player with 3 plane squads kept spawniing planes and suicide bombing / rockets with them.
The 12 kils I got should be at least the double based on the hits I had and the planes I saw falling off from my hits.
The points was again redicoulous low and at the end it’s not even worth the time…
I found the old post: Can planes spawn every 20 seconds now?
Sounds good to me. To balance it, I think arty and AA pieces should light up on the map immediately when fired like MG emplacements do.
