I love to pepper the occasional plane with an LMG or Bolt Action rifle. Might be nice to put the fear of God into low flying pilots if the infantry weps actually did more damage to planes. (Especially seeing as they LOVE to nerf the AA over and over again)
It'd be nice if ALL the LMGs could reliably damage a Bomber. I know the Huot will do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to one unless the Bomber is within literal spitting distance from the ground. (You'll see hitmarkers - but you won't actually damage the plane.) I believe either the Madsen or Lewis suffers from the same issue - I forget exactly which though. The other LMGs work as intended in any case - especially on the other planes.
Honestly the fighter is much less annoying to ground than an attack plane. If you nerf the trench fighter to that point you'll just start whining about those.
The only problem with the trench fighter is the cooldown, it should reload slower than the other bombers because it's a fighter not a bomber.
Should be slowed down aswell in my opinion, the reason people don't complain about Attack planes because they can be fought off with SAA because they're nowhere near as fast and agile as the trench fighters.
They only nerfed impact damage, which only happens if the plane is flying directly at the gun (because the shell hits the plane before it explodes in the air - this is not how the guns are meant to work)
The blast damage (the explosion in the air) is the same.
oh i didnt know that... thanks for correcting me... i was wondering cos i could still take down planes easily on fao fortress lol...
I can hardly blame you! There's a lot of hype and FUD about the nerf.
There may be possible balance issues in some Operations sectors, though I've not noticed, I don't play Ops much. There may be possible balance issues with Trench Fighter, but since it's counterable, the only real problem is how it's pointless flying Anti-Bomber or Dogfighter variants.
The AA nerf has had no difference, as noted above by others.
Fix planes? Nothing to fix.
Mostly agree here but... The bomber killer loadout is actually really good, the speed boost can give you an advantage in some dogfights, and allows you to be very evasive when things go sour and it's time to get out of dodge. Also, the rockets have the ability to damage certain lightly armoured targets, most notably the AA guns, even when nobody is on them.... So you can theoretically destroy all the AA guns and have a more clear sky. The dogfighter repairs also allow you to be very aggressive and reduce your time spent flying away to repair, meaning more time on target, and the cannons have a unique zoom sight which allows you to pick off infantry from some distance. About 5 or 6 rounds in (maybe a couple more I didn't really count) the spread on the cannons becomes a laser beam, as they have negative spread increase like the infy MGs do. I do feel like the loose spread initially, serves as a bit of a warning to infy though. Rounds land either side of them, they panic and run, and can be very hard to hit. I feel like they could use a VERY SMALL buff.

All that being said, I prefer trench though, not for the darts, but for the flares. The situational awareness they offer your team is just too good to pass up. The very best way to have control of the sky, is to help the team take control of the objectives below you, and the flares do that like nobody's business.
