AA buff is an overkill
I have been flying lately, trying to unlock the new planes (I have maxed out all the rest). And I have noticed that stationary AA is disgustingly strong now. They punch you down from the sky in no t...
Forum Discussion
I have been shot down by Fliegerfaust with one shot multiple times, it's a broken mechanic, I'm telling you!
Regarding AA I think the OP factor comes from the area each splash covers. You don't even have to hit the plane if you miss, it will still damage it. I can hit most planes with 90% accuracy no matter what maneuvers they make. It's ridiculous!
hahaha, it is a good topic, and I see you struggling with this for a while.
I think balance its good and now it depands on training.
New planes are trash, agree on that discussion, but accept it, pull out your hair and then use better armor, nitro as specialism and you can at least repair, repair, reload and repair. Then also fly some higer. Then fliegerfaust is not even taking a shot on you.
I haven't had the chance to fly the new planes very much either because they are available only on US-non pacific maps for which we have no map rotation OR someone else is flying them OR if I get into one AA downs the plane 10 seconds after takeoff. Very annoying.
Oh by the way who else had the bug on Al Sundan where if you try to take off from the airfield at flag A, your plane (at least the Nightbomber) just starts going left and right and finally crashes into the light on the side of the runway. WTF lol.
Anyway, why do you think the new planes are trash? The 2x tripple rockets seems be very effective if you manage to stay alive by some miracle.
Honestly I haven't used the 8x rockets very much, there is no reason for rocket attacks to be that scalable. It is much easier just to land 2 big rockets which do 80 damage which is ok.
By the way the aiming reticle for the rockets is also bugged. You have to aim BELOW the target because it is always going to fly above it otherwise.
Regarding the rocket aiming reticle- I think that is only on the Zero's and Coursairs. The Spitires and 109's don't seem to have this problem.
- @GUTENTAAAAG , yes multiple issues with Al sundan airfield and planes:

I had to clarify myself a bit more: Planes without specs are trash, and when you are able to upgrade them, like getting the rockets, you can finally do some real damage.
But between this part it can be really frustrating.
Further I still think the balance is fine. Perhaps spotting by the team can be some help detecting all AA's. But when I have Nitro I survive 98% from AA.Jesus, we had a round today when a guy in a MAA camped the whole match sitting from their main base on Twisted steal. He could reach as far as the other end of the bridge....... wtf seriously.
This was the point when I switched to MAA myself and took down 10+ planes with no effort.
AA need serious balancing...
