Planes in arcade battles

[igrek60]

i hate to be terrorized by planes in game. People take the plane and kill the softest target with kamikaze attack!! The most strange thing is AA's are not enough to stop this terror. For example when i am using 'dicker Max' or'St.Emil' after hearing the sound of the planes i start to count down for die. Even if i use '88mm Flak(?)' result is the same. There must be a limit for this. For example if your plane is destroyed, your main vehicle is too should be destroyed. Or please give some strenght or ability to AA's hit the planes... Please.. İ am about to punch my computer because of the anger of this problem!!

Welcome to WT and CAS, take a deep breath and do not fret over a game. While i understand about you wanting to enjoy your game time in WT, getting worked up to the point of punching your PC. Is not healthy, step away if that is the case..

in low tier and ground arcade, it's best to spawn the plane than to deal with it

if you don't like it, you can try realistic but realistic planes can choose to carry much more potent payload

You can't Kamikaze in Arcade and shooting down Air in Arcade is like the easiest thing ever, you literally got a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ lead indicator showing you where to shoot.

*can't kill someone through just flying into them with your plane unlike in RB

i mean planes are diving, unloading bombs and crash on you. That would be much more difficult if the losing plane had a peanalty

I'm all for bringing own planes into GF arcade, repair costs included- was very fun in the closed beta

And as said you literally got a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ lead indicator showing you where to shoot with AA, it couldn't be easier. [/quote]
Generally you are right but planes are just like fly in arcade battles.. they make unrealistic maneuvers.. so indicator is not much helpful.. and 88 mm AA Flak is so slow to chase planes to calculate the distance. When you calculate the distance you are filled with plane ammos.. i mean it can be much more difficult to destroy a tank with a plane.. or AA guns can be much more effective

The 88mm was used to shoot down B-17 formations and not to hit small fighters in all fairness

Something funny. The "flak" in 8.8cm flak means anti aircraft gun. (I know no one use it as one. I just thought it is kind of ironic )

its because its meant to be used in batteries of multiple guns against high flying bomber formations which smaller guns couldnt reach, for the kind of mobile close in air defence against fast low flying targets we see in game its almost useless

they did actually test out timed fuses on its russian counterpart the YaG 10 which it might still have for all i know, all i remember is they were intially bugged to hell and ignored intervening terrain including armour so you could set the range to have them airburst inside a tank...

why haven't you unlocked and equiped SPAA vehicles into your lineup? If someone ques up for an attacker or bomber (which is displayed at the bottom of your screen in the match) then hop into a fighter and either cover them (if it's a team mate) or shoot down the attacker/bomber (if it's an enemy).

The Player inside the Plane already can't control their Tank as long as they are in the Plane making the Tank completely vulnerable unless they used their brain and hid it behind some cover first and 99% don't even do that but just spam 5,6,7 or what it was to get into an Airplane even when an enemy tank is right in front of them.

Don't care bro we just don't want to deal with planes no matter what, after 1500 hours I slowly moving to other games because having lead indicator or not, I sick and tired of CAS degens dropping bombs on my Maus and TUTEL.

i totally agree with you and the same feeling makes me angry... sometimes i feel that my tank has a neon light on it writing '' drop all of your ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bombs on me!!'' .I always start with TD's because begining of the game sky is clear...(And AA's are useless even with indicator)

You have evidently never seen a competent AA player at work, one member of my squad specialises in them, hence my opinion that there is no problem. I rarely get so much as scratched by air. It just takes some serious practice, I have played them enough to handle myself these days but nowhere near to that point, my preferred method is to intercept with fighters which is why I keep dedicated air to air in my rb lineups

You people are simply too lazy to put in the practice which is why I can’t bring myself to respect your opinions

I second that.

But i respect your opinion while i am not agree with you. It is obvious that AA's are generally not enough to stop the planes... Of course there might be some specialist of AA but it must not cost for us to become an AA Ace to stop the annoying mosquitos.
