How to deal with planes?

[Shamiko]

I downloaded the game today and this game is pretty fun

The only bad thing i experienced is the planes and ofc tanks

I know tanks can be destroyed by the assault class but how in the hell you deal with planes? I can't seem to do anything against them

I don't even know how to ride a plane lol anyways they are annoying af what shall i do? Thanks

there are a lot of stationary anti-aircraft guns scattered around the map, theyre pretty effective against planes
theres also a weapon for assault called the fliegerfaust, though you unlock it a bit late, look in the armory, its in the same slot as your rocket launcher, its not very effective imo though

well if you need some learning how to fly a plane then 1 of the campaing missions is pretty much a full on plane level and it starts pretty much whit an totourial alsol by default movin your mouse down makes you fly up and movin mouse up makes you go down if you dont like taht like me and you want to move up whit movin mouse up then check out some options menu to change that and to fight against a plane some weapon like the default gun from suport can some what damage planes too otherwise try out some anti air tools

lots and lots of ways to ruin a pilot's streak, speaking from a pilot's point of view:
- AA Rocket launcher for Assault will 3 shot a full health attack plane, your entire ammo pool is actually enough to bring down a full hp Gotha, medium bombers.
- AA Stationary AA guns.
- Incendiary ammo for Burton for Support class, equip a Burton lmg and press V, they damage wings, see a plane diving for a bombing run - torch a wing and they might lose control and crash straight into the ground.
- Belt fed LMGs are good for taking down planes, like the Browning M1917.
- a well placed Chamond tank high velocity main cannon will 1-shot a plane, but that requires a little bit of practice.
- Shoot the pilot in the head with a sniper rifle if you are skilled / lucky enough, but that's not something you will be doing on general basis.

For diving attack planes, and cocky low bombers I love using the AA rocket. Like Langrel said you can kill one in 3 hits, bombers in 4 hits but the good pilots usually fly out of your range by the 2nd shot. When 2 or more people use AA rocket, synced shots, it's amazing but I can NEVER find anyone willing to help.

All that Langrel said.I will add a shot from a landship's main gun,it will insta kill any plane but since it's elevation isn't that big it is effective only on low flying planes.It needs practice,but once you manage it sometimes you'll insta kill any cocky pilot that flies low enough to blast him.

Sniper rifle penetration ammo and aim for the wings
