Base Defences Don't Work.

[Knomesfella]

So why do the base defenses let two F4-Es through to ground pound and base camp? I thought that they were supposed to keep the airfield safe. We still had bases up too, so it's not like they would have gone down to allow for the airfield to be destroyed. Why do they just cease to function as they should sometimes? These F4-Es weren't even hugging the ground either, they were about 1K above the airfield. Not a SINGLE missile popped off to intercept them.

airfield AAA is ♥♥♥♥ because the devs are ♥♥♥♥, had a sim game last night where a 109 k was just camping the airfield while AAA did nothing to it and he was not even at altitude dude was just strafing people on the runway. but Convoy and ship AI are aimbots for "reasons"

I've experienced many games where I had a very well-played game 4x kill 2x base, the last player left was of course just stupidly camping above the AF and waiting for the player who would fly back to the AF without weapons, countermeasures, gas to be an easy target for an amateur. Of course, you have no way to defend yourself, nor attack. When I noticed him, I tried to defend myself, flying over the airport. The enemy literally flew with me for almost a minute straight over the airport, which did him no harm at all. In the end, I had to get off at the AF and land because I had no more gas. Of course, he destroyed me and the airport did not damage him at all for the whole minute. For subsequent destruction in the game and loss, I received an incomparably smaller bonus, I immediately turned off the game. I even experienced many times that 3 enemies attacked over the airport and the airport did not destroy a single one.

Unfortunately, I've been writing this here for a very long time, but Gaijin ignores it with every update. It's an absolutely easy, maybe a few-minute task to set SPAA more effective. Yes, it's a problem that can really annoy players, ruin a good game for them, make them disgusted with the game itself and the gameplay, but these are probably not important things even though they are very important things for the game. We'd rather get stupid effects like dust behind the tank that are absolutely useless, unnecessary for the game, on the contrary, they don't reduce the game's performance and cause many players to drop FPS. But we got improved airports in ARB, which have a non-functional SPAA, but they look good, that's the main thing. What more needs to be said about that? ... Gaijin does everything the opposite of what it should. Important things that are often easy to solve, but very important for the game and the players, are ignored and unnecessary, unimportant things for the game and the players are added, which often ruin the game itself, destroy it, and take away the fun for the players.

Oh yeah blah blah blah, that's what you always. Just spawn SPAA. Duh.

Otherwise, are you okay, do you need a doctor? This is not a kindergarten. Before you start writing nonsense of a 5 year old child, at least use your IQ if you have one, we are talking about ARB if you know what it is. So I don't know what SPAA spawn you are talking about, but you probably don't know it yourself according to your statements which reflect your intellectual abilities at the level of the Stone Age.

Top tier air defense doesn't work, the missiles don't pull hard enough. Low tier sucks balls because you get remotely near the base and your engine and pilot get cooked by the AA. Gaijin being Gaijin

I've been playing 8.7 today and it's been around 4 games where after getting 3 - 4 kills and being the last one still flying on my team I went back to rearm at my airfield and the remaining enemies could just come and kill me absolutely free, airfield defenses don't shoot at all right now.
