- Is AF catering to "Mobile AA" whores?
Nice to see some posts to the contrary, but I'm still seeing a lot of posts from people complaining. I know ... NEWS FLASH! But come on everyone, when your style of play isn't working, take a break and then try a new tactic. If AA shoots you down, don't just bitch ... "There's too much AA. Remove them from the game!" Instead, try to see if DICE developers had something else in mind when flying these planes. Vanilla BF2 flying tactics don't work in AF. I learned how to fly in AF and picked up some ability with the AF planes. Flares do work and it is very possible to get 18-0 or 26-2 scores with a jet in Road Rage or Midnight Sun. If I can do it, I know many of you can too. So, enough rambling on my part. Let's hear how you overcame your frustrating play and became a better player because of it rather than just another bitch post. Thanks for reading.

I fly the AF bombers a lot. I went 53-5 last night. And only 2 of those were aa deaths. Stay high, come down steep, leave steep. It's the aa that should be crying, not the bombers.
This was never intended to be another "Let's bitch about the game and bitch about the bitchers" kind thread when I posted this over 3 months ago but oh well.
What kind of thread was it supposed to be? I don't always get gold medal now so please nerf my only effective enemy?Spearhead wrote:

Should take 3 hits from the AA missile and a few shots from the AA cannons to take down the attack jets.
I almost never get the gold metal in any game. I made this post 3 months ago, and I tried to give a reasonable, understandable argument, and I think I did. I for one flew the new bombers maybe once or twice, I couldn't stand how they flew and there were always other people who wanted them, so fine, I didn't fly them. But please tell me what threat a 3 man Little Bird has against an armored AA vehicle? Not much. I know for sure that the first few days of playing, I had a lot of trouble trying to even get from the US base to the first CP without getting shot down in the Little Bird, the only way I could survive was flying on the edge and half-way around the entire map to go 300 m.aardfrith wrote:

I wasn't fooling myself, 3 months ago, if you were in the same servers I was in, there was no way to move outside of an armored vehicle, unless you wanted to run for 3 miles, fly half-way around the map, or fly 500m in the air where you could hardly tell where you were going. On Midnight Sun, it was literally impossible to fly at all. Half of the enemy team was in a stationary or mobile AA.
I think you are contributing to the problem..... I'm not a jet whore, but I'm not an armor whore, either. Any time someone suggests change to the game, in a reasonable manner, it will always be either the jet whores or the armor whores who complain first.
But oh well. I uninstalled AF and so did tons of other people.
It takes two tank shells to destroy an AA vehicle. A bomber can do it in one go. Mobile AA drivers have to watch 360 degrees of sky and at least 180 degrees of land to keep ahead of the game. It's not an easy thing ot do and all too frequently, a bomber will get the drop on them.Spearhead wrote:

If it weren't for mobile AA, the bombers would be completely unopposed. As it is, there's a chance of getting them before they get you but it's slim. Even if you see the bomber coming at you, there's barely enough time to start pounding away with your gun(s) and launch your 4 missiles. If the bomber has his wits about him, he'll drop flares on the way down so the missiles are left to chance as to whether they will hit. Plus, the locking distance is so short, you can see a plane but be powerless against it.
Yes, a Little Bird stands no chance against an AA vehicle. Would you really rather it was otherwise? If it were, bombers with their tougher armor would be invincible again.
I said, if you READ MY POST, I would like the amount of AA vehicles reduced, not to have them spawn at every other CP. I have no clue where you got the idea I wanted them nerfed.
