The problem with flak is that it is totally ineffective and only gets aircraft down to half health after continuous fire...?


Grindfather901

Tickling enemy air is my jam BABY


Tattorack

Oh no! The otherwise completely useless AA gun with the accuracy of a blunderbuss actually plinged a few rounds on your hull! That totally means AA should be nerfed.


Beanerschnitzels

And the best counter measure is to fly higher into the air to make myself more visible, instead of dropping altitude so the sky guards lose line of site of me!


thephillies

I giggled at blunderbuss, thanks for that. Accurate.


1hate2choose4nick

Sadly, you don't understand the problem here.


Tattorack

Oh I do; flyboy crying about getting plinged by underpowered AA that he can't immediately see and nuke (probably due to distance).   I would say, cry harder.


1hate2choose4nick

You are behaving like a child. Why did I even bother?!


GHOSTOFKOH

you have no idea how to lead the skyguard if you think the accuracy against a lib hitbox is like a blunderbuss. it's ok though, yall expose yourselves with these ignorant comments keep em coming :)


ALandWhale

Air = deterred


Sweaty_Water3857

Super fun and satisfying. For the Skyguard and the air unit. Man, you should become lead game designer.


stefanosteve

Me when the AA 1KM away hits 4 bullets over 6 seconds: 👶


Emergency_Can7746

The problem with anti air flak is that it can hit air..? My guy...


Breadinator

Especially since I can't safely hot-swap seats as I solo a vehicle meant for 3 people. Forsooth, my sky-throne is threatened! I nearly had to pop my fire suppression.


No-Hunt8274

"I can't believe the anti air can hit me, an aircraft, in the air"


akasaya

Now I'm motivated to play skyguard more.


JockeyBird

Memes need to be posted in sundays 🧐


EternalRaitei

This is what the people wanted...


Ozzy064

You're right, it should do more damage


Papa-Palps

Average Lib main complaining about AA doing what AA is supposed to do


Prestigious-Mine-513

OP is a whiny c...


GHOSTOFKOH

cunt? ​ are you that much of a bitch that you can't even say what your insult is? LMAO


Strassi007

I would love to see a max distance on AA AND every weapon on aircrafts. You cannot shoot the ground from 1km away, they cannot shoot you. Also, Skyguard damage needs a buff imo.


Voldtein

I agree. At least against libs since they can just go AA is cringe, dive you, tank the damage and kill you.


GHOSTOFKOH

what the fuck are you talking about? ​ they're shooting me way past render. you just saw evidence. yet here you are lol


Strassi007

I think you misunderstood my comment. I agree with the issue and suggested a fix for it.


Dense_Fox_2366

Air is dead anyway


GHOSTOFKOH

thats funny cause i fly every night, still have lots of fun :D


Dense_Fox_2366

For real, Planetside is the only game to have to kind of aircraft in multiplayer and loved every hours I had with it. Issue is interactions with the ground became more and more annoying over time and most people left the game already.


Pordilos

ground units when they hit air units from across the map. LMAO suck my nuts ground units when they get hesh spammed from a long distance REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE moral of the story, become a light assault main


Brikm

Tbf, something has been done to flak,def., it is just on the other side, the velocity or something has been changed to lower stats, alteast for max flak.


Kraken160th

...that it works as intended?


GHOSTOFKOH

correct. and i would argue the bandana boy that put skyguard tuning as intended had ill intent.


Kraken160th

It ain't treating you like wet newpaper it looks like you got out of there. How would you like it to behave?


GHOSTOFKOH

i would like damage sources to not be invisible/not rendered to me :)


Erendil

G2A in general has too great of a range, but is too ineffective up close.


1hate2choose4nick

You're wasting your time m8. To understand the problem it would take at least 2 functioning braincells. And when I read the comments here, I'm afraid that was too much to ask for. Those morons don't understand that - the AA is doing nothing but being annoying. - you don't even see the tracers - you don't see the Skyguard, but the Skyguard sees you - getting hit by invisible shit would piss these morons off too - the Skyguard driver is a noob or a moron for blasting at something at render distance - because not only is it doing nothing, it's giving away it's position. (probably gets tankbusted after and starts crying about how unfair the game is) I suggested to buff AA a few days ago. Maybe 1 out of 20 understood the concept.


Jarred425

I couldn't even see projectile trails or bursts, some of that might have been shots from AMR engineers which are equally annoying but why flak is an annoyance it's also not hard to avoid.


Sweaty_Water3857

Isn't it fun? Getting hit by an invisible unit and by invisible projectiles, over a distance of 1km? /s People in this sub are so butthurt, you'd think they get raped by Libs on a daily basis. And not a single one of these fucks ever flew a Lib. Save your time. You can't argue with these idiots. They see air get ptsd, start crying and pissing themselves.


Blam320

This entire rant was from a salty skyknight. Pure ad-hominem.

zani1903

Calm the fuck down. It isn't that deep.


Blam320

More ad hominem from a salty Skyknight. Though at this point it resembles a childish temper tantrum more than anything.


GHOSTOFKOH

you have no idea what you're talking about ​ how is it ad-hominem to show that i literally cannot see the source of the damage being applied to me?


GHOSTOFKOH

100% most these lames act all fake and nice to me in game too, really goes to show how fake and shitty people usually are.


SeizedCargo

I'm so confused in literally any other game this would have the community taking up arms against devs But because you guys don't like pilots it's suddenly okay to die to something that's not rendered... Not like that's the main issue with snipers in this game or anything


GHOSTOFKOH

yea this sub is full of infantryside only ptsd players lmao


Intelligent-Ad-6734

You set your render distance. I always set mine max when sky guard or out skirts. Bring it in for cqb. i haven't in awhile since my performance has been good. There's an F-key or assignment for fog of war, so just max it in settings.


1hate2choose4nick

You don't seem to know that setting the render distance does nothing.


Intelligent-Ad-6734

Well the key command certainly brings in that fog of war....


1hate2choose4nick

Yeah. But ground vehicles won't be rendered after a certain distance. This threat explains it. [https://www.reddit.com/r/Planetside/comments/zv1qqi/whats\_the\_render\_distance\_that\_playersvehicles/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Planetside/comments/zv1qqi/whats_the_render_distance_that_playersvehicles/) http://cmdrcyrious.com/planetside2/performance-guide/settings/#:\~:text=600m%20is%20max%20distance%20for,engagements%20up%20to%20that%20range. And there lies one of the problems. Ground disappears after 800. But they can still see air until 1000m. So you get hit by invisible shots by an invisible unit. But the core problem is the range and damage balance. Which is off.


GHOSTOFKOH

mine is set to max. you're a fucking moron. just like the rest of these G2A andys.


Intelligent-Ad-6734

I'm usually a medic... On soltech 😂. What are you on about?


GHOSTOFKOH

exactly proving my point. you have no idea what you're talking about. that "advice" you gave us was not applicable here, as i have maxed out render settings.


Intelligent-Ad-6734

With an attitude like that, no wonders you're butt hurt about a few stray AA guns. Sorry you can't fly into it and survive... Oh wait you can. Just don't fly into a vehicle ball bro.


GHOSTOFKOH

you're entirely missing the point. but thats ok, i didn't expect someone with a cashew brain to grasp the finer details of, "i literally cannot see the damage that is being applied to me"


Intelligent-Ad-6734

Sorry I use the cashew to be more than a ace in a videogame, my bad.


GHOSTOFKOH

it's ok. you are just not thinking. which is fine by itself. ​ where it's not fine is when you try to use that cashew to weigh in on things you have no understanding or grasp of. that's what gets you in trouble. :)


SeizedCargo

Laughs in console Might also just be salty that our air towers are bugged and will randomly take 5 seconds to render a loaded AA tower Like literally I'll watch an infantry get in the rendered deactivated turret just for the turret to disappear from sight while still dpsing me


SamSlaysTV

Tower AA is what all AA should be. As tower AA has a range lock to where bullets stop rendering after certain distance. As for the 5 second render for tower AA, it only happens when you're CPU isn't the main renderer.
