It still could use some tweaking:
- needs almost no aim to hit air targets
- does no damage vs tanks (shot a smoking tiger tank in the back with 6 rockets and nothing?!)
It's a rocket. Makes no sense.
Which are impossible to counter. This gun makes flying a disaster.
I'm sad because most people will like it because they don't have the skill to fly.

I can fly with planes but i'm infantry player and be killed by bomber campers all the time is not a fun thing.. Also when your team does not even care that they are killed by same guy in bomber so i can do my job on my own now.. ๐ @GUTENTAAAAG The fliegerfaust is most useful against enemy planes that do strafing runs or are flying too low as they are trying to locate and bomb targets. But think of it like this - the opportunity cost, def "the loss of potential gain from other alternatives when one alternative is chosen", is that on tanking or infantry only maps you could have equipped a far more effective gadget. It's currently useless against tanks, and that's a good thing, as you're being penalized for carrying it. So, it's a very specialized weapon that's really only effective on certain maps and situations.
Even on maps like Fjell where it's the most perfect weapon, the fliegerfaust is a relatively fair counter. Why? Currently, on any one on one match up between planes and AA guns, the planes should win most of the time, all else constant. In reality, planes completely decimate the battlefield on Fjell, even when you have AAs and enemy planes. If you're an excellent pilot, then it's no competition. Adding the fliegerfaust makes these pilots think twice about flying too low, and force them to fly at much higher altitudes more often now.
1 guy can take down an airplane with no effort in 1 passing. What the hell.
Nerf damage by 50% and add reload time 100% NOW1 pilot can bomb a dozen or more people in one run.
That's all pilots will have, 1 run. Besides, everyone is usually revived lol...
