WhipperSnipper 284 Report post Posted December 21, 2022 Haven't played air mode for ages but I'm finding the AA godlike in accuracy and lethal. Even at 4000m in my bomber I'm getting torn to shreds by 3 AA guns (and I'm taking evasive action). Looking at the score card every 3rd kill seems to be a AA. Not sure if the devs have given them some amazing upgrade recently? Never remember them been that dangerous and it was multiple games they shot me down in as well.

_grampaw_itchee_ 102 Report post Posted December 21, 2022 Midfield AAA has been nerfed in recent weeks from what it has been for a few months recently. Airfield AAA has not been nerfed. 4000 meters is not high enough in a bomber to avoid that AAA. I've not been killed by airfield AAA in my bombers at 5000+ meters.And, there are blind spots around airfields where you will never be targeted by AAA.

anyuser 5,136 Report post Posted December 21, 2022 Based on the map the airfield itself is not at 0m... From airfield surface onward AA (just 2 of them, not 3), will shoot a at stuff a little more then 4km away. While it has been said, that airfields will shoot single scare away shoots at further away targets. But those are unlikely to hit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thodin 6,784 Report post Posted December 27, 2022 Lost several jets on the runway yesterday. They come in and strafe without beeing shot down. Only at one occasion the AA guns/SAMs shot down one of these elite players^^ So the precision of the airfield AA is somehow weaker than it used to be . 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have noticed this too, airfield AA seems totally useless now, like helipad AA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VT_88 342 Report post Posted December 28, 2022 Correct, the airfield AA barley makes a dent. However, on this map I got 11 kills using the airfield. https://warthunder.com/en/tournament/replay/16971808085789457 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
