There are two parts to the SPAAs needing a changeup to me. As JAREDUP noted, they completely ignore planes. A very large reason for this is that the planes that players fly in this campaign are nearly worthless, so they aren’t being used, meaning they aren’t available as targets for the SPAA.
The second part is that the Bomber runs that are called in by RO. My buddies and I have tested trying to shoot these down. Its nearly impossible to down one before they reach their drop point, and thats even with 2 SPAAs, an AA gun, and a fighter all targeting the same ONE plane. If they made them more feasible to take down, which considering they aren’t making evasive maneuvers, and are traveling in uniform speed, the lead marker should be given FAR before what it currently does. Allowing the SPAA to actually do its job, as well as other AA measures.

They ignore plane because farm infantry with a rapid fire 20mm i more easy and rewarding
Exactly, the bombers are impossible to shoot down and we’re pretty sure the bombers are the only reason SPAA were added
The biggest problems with shooting down bombers for me is that the lead indicator doesn’t show up until they are almost directly above, and the wild overheating of spaa and aaa guns makes only the shortest bursts of fire possible. So our ability to precisely aim is gone, in addition to our ability to use volume of fire to aim using tracers.
I can shoot down the low flying bombers in Stalingrad all day, so I know it’s not that hard if you can get a bead on them
