An obvious AAA solution--AoE suppression

[PanzerMan7]

Air suppression should have AoE effects on planes. Pilots do not care if they are being aimed at. Pilots care if tracers and flak bursts are ripping by them.

This would also encourage players to micro their planes more through setting up attacks from different directions

They need to increase the AoE of things like the bofors, the 37mm, and the Flak 41.

I almost always give my aircraft a flight path to attack. Whether it be around known AA concentrations or, more often, I send my AT planes in from a bit further away so I can steer them to hit the sides, or rear if I'm lucky, of tanks. It's amazing how often people just let AT planes go at the front when I can regularly kill Panthers and KTs with 2 Typhoons ATs coming in from the side.

Told Eugen in the beta, they said they will think about it. Dont know if it will come tough. At least aa gets buff in the patch this week.

AA works fine. It forces planes to abort attack runs and makes them less accurate; rather like reality.

Mate, a plane right behind the plane getting shot takes no suppression. Never mind all the tracers whipping by it. That isn't right and if the 2nd plane took even half the suppression for the first plane, the death trains wouldn't be such an issue

Can you link some replays of these so called death trains? Also some replays of them actually working. I never see people spamming air outside of noob games unless it's 101st on a team game.
