So, with 2 AAs on any 800+ VD map, you effectively shouldn't bomb anything that will result in enemy casualties, lmao.

Think about it for a second please, any area in play with enemies always has AA threat in 4km maps. You cannot use that as reasoning to keep AA OP and jets shit.
Spoiler for ...:
...unless you want jets to be useless :roll:

Ground AA is finally capable of killing fighters that drop lgbs from the clouds, but at the same time jets are still more than capable of staying alive and killing shit. I actually think aa atleast in the ground to air aspect is in a good place, best one since pre 1.0.

This

You shouldn't move with your tank to a place near a TOW that you can't kill. I'm hoping that after the change people start using lazes again like they should have.

I actually drive straight torwards a marked TOW and in 99% its even down before the delay allows him to shoot. Thanks Mr Tavor for that gift.

I meant not to bomb something else when the AA is active. If you know the AA is there and someone is lazing it, you should be able to kill it 100% of the times if there isn't another. Probably no need for laze with helis if you know where it is.

Lol, thats how CAS has always been. Bomb AA or Risk dying to AA when bombing something else. You know this, the only thing that has changes is the capability of AA and Jets overall. Jets can still drop bombs at ridiculous angles on lazes, etc

People don't like Falklands because vast, featureless open spaces makes for extremely poor infantry gameplay and that's all Falklands is.

No, flight physics + new AA changed the balance so much. Try pulling up now it takes you 2 years cause every jet is a 0.981 J-10 on steroids.

Yeah I loved the old gameplay when AA was pointless https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9jZBfRkrtc amazing hovering forward holding mouse look key while spamming flares for 15min.

That said, I would actually agree to changing MANPAD to one per team, mostly for the reason that the AA fix made trans an even easier target now.

Who said anything about 1.0 beta CAS/AA balance being optimal?

Oh that's right, no one. Why even try?

Only good thing about the current CAS gameplay is that you can be afk for 20minutes (cook something), after that you fly your jet for 5minutes before you get killed by some kind of missile and you can be afk for another 20minutes for dinner :D
