Aircrafts fly like they do in realistic battles in war thunder so lead indicators should be gone just like they are there. It’s already easy enough to shoot down planes even on times where I’ve had a bug that I didn’t get a lead indicator. I think armor penetration confirmations for tanks could stay because it’s not guaranteed anyways but I don’t care either way. The lead indicator for aircrafts however must be removed.

Maybe make it a perk for pilots.
I don’t want more op perks, so if it is removed, have it be removed entirely.

Shouldn’t be a perk. Games that have a statement for being more “authentic” by locking pilot view to first person only shouldn’t allow crutches such as a lead indicator for pilots. People can either good at flying or don’t fly and use a tank. And if they can’t use either then just stick to infantry.

I wouldn’t call it op, but if you don’t want then ok.
Midair rearmin should also be removed. Somehow it dont fit in ‘realistic’ theme at all
Rearming on an airfield would take ages and make planes useless.
For immersion purposes, we could have players swap out planes, like a small cinematic thing where one plane leaves the battlefield, and another enters.
But if we are going to complain about the essential gameplay stuff breaking immersion and realism, we might as well remove tank repairs, the entire engineer class as you can’t pull AA guns out of your ass IRL, remove a bunch of guns and vehicles that weren’t used in these campaigns (Pz3B/BA-11 in Moscow being the biggest ones), etc.

I´m all for its removal in aircraft vs aircraft duels, but AA should still have them. Skilled pilots can be difficult to deal with (if team even tries to kill them to begin with) and last thing we need are more outrages against nerfing AA.

AAA deffinnitelly should still have it.
remove the lead indicator from aircraft … remove the in air rearming as well … If you want to rearm and come back again then fly to the current rearming point and you will exit the battle and return to squad selection/spawn selection screen.
There should be a delay before you can flay that plane again. This will give others the opportunity to fly. If you are shot down or commit suicide to prevent from exiting the battle normally then you lose your plane for that battle.
Good and all but what does it have in common with AAA?
i can only agree to this for early war and german aircraft, since the gyroscopic gunsights started to make a large appearance around 1944 especially for western allies which gave you the the rogue lead for the plane you are shooting down, so only those planes that had gyroscopic gunsights should get lead indicator
Or you just go use the first person sight in the cockpit? Let the devs model that sight lol

that would be better but i don’t know if the devs are willing to model those gunsights
