AA gun effectiveness

[kwok]

Checking again with players. I saw a couple of scattered posts but not a single focused post on AA effectiveness. How is it?

¿How are they supposed to work after last changes? ' Cause i really feel like they're performing really really bad. I've tried positionating them in different places and angles and dosn't seem to be effective neither.

Kwok,
I tried .50 cal naked emp, 3 pieces approx. When in normal mode, they weren't doing jack shit, when in AA mode, I think they shot down most if not all planes.

Maybe AA emplacements should be in AA mode by default?

This is how AA should be:

The AA at each base should NOT be able to shoot down planes any effectivly, only if the plane is coming across the map and towards the bases, it should have some sort of chance to shoot it down.

But, units that are put on the map, like the Flakpanzer IV "Moebelwagen", Ostwind Flakpanzer. 88s, M3 Halftrack etc should be able to shoot down planes IN THEIR AREA where they are, pretty effectivly. I would say around 60-70% chance to shoot down incoming planes, JUST the area where they are, they should not be able to shoot down planes all accross the whole map just because they are standing somewhere.




Easy.

Base AA is fine currently. I think the devs were going for something like this for buildable AA units/emplacements but 20mm AA seems to have been broken within the last few patches. I'm guessing it's a bug since Kwok was confused by it when we tested and he was the one that wanted to do the test.

Base AA is fine currently.

Yeah, I agree on that. The only thing that needs to be done is making mobile units out of the map that are specifically made for AA to cover their area where they stand with 60-70% efficacy.
