I would like to get your suggestions on a tweak / change to the AA rule. I noticed a lot of players complain about AA not doing anything.

Issues I have noticed:
1. Air vehicles hide near F and are unreachable.
2. when there are 64 players in the server and your team is losing that your AA will get killed before it can even get near ABC.

Suggestions
1. Allow a thin line down from C to the front door of F
2. Allow the AA to slowly engage on the way to ABC. It may be VERY slow if it takes a while to push back? Maybe if ABC are in enemy hands then this rule could apply?
3. Free frozen drinks every weekend (including Friday)

Rex you are new here so you don't know but the AA Rules have been hashed over many times and this is the best solution that could be found. It may not be the perfect solution but it gives us a great example of what is expected out of the AA. If we open the door to Foxtrot even slightly you will have every noob camping the AA at Foxtrot. Lord knows how many problems we have all ready with camping AA's not doing any thing so I am against any rule changes concerning the AA.......STRYKER.
 
We already have many campers at F... Lol! Then at times yes AA does go to F when there TEAM is winning and moving at A, B and C as well. I believe it is fine with the rules tuning them will not help the team.

Hey Rex64 --

If they are all at F, I will head down for a bit and do some clean up; assuming the team is ahead and we have D. But always look at whats going on at abc and head back up quickly if needed. It only takes one good attack helo or little bird to change the direction of ABC and the game.

If the team is not doing a good job of holding tanks from coming in and having their way with you, then you have to be creative and move around a lot. If you stay close to the same spot, they are going to keep coming after you. As you know, the AA is one of the most important assets.

The thing about being below C is that it is hard to get a good line of site on the air vehicles at AB. The can bob up and down taking everything out while the AA cant put enough on them to take em down.

If you can find a way to be below C and keep the skies clear at abc, then no one is going to complain. If you can, share the strategy. Noobs get drawn to F or hide under tracks like a moth to light and the rest of the team gets raked.

Free frozen drinks and Hawaiian shirt Friday sound like a great idea!

We have a free jello day every Sunday morning. 10am every Sunday I roll out a table of delicious jellos. Each time the table get blown sky high and nobody eats my jello. Very frustrating.

LOL LOL

I do appreciate you coming in with suggestions Rex. Whether or not things are implemented, its always good to talk about how things can improve.
 
I am NOT one to sit back in the aa and let the air vehicles come to me, as most of you know. I think the aa should go wherever the air craft are. If the aa is around ABC and the helo pilots say to themselves, "Selves, Ape is kicking my ass every time I go near ABC, so I am going to hang near the bottom of the map for a bit", and they actually avoid me. I am going to chase them to wherever they decide to hang out.
 
I disagree with you Ape,but if ABC are secure you are doing your job. People have to understand the AA is a suppression vehicle and should be used as such. So if you have chased them down to the corner of the map they are not doing much so I say leave them alone. I have admin killed and kicked players in the AA for sitting back just to have them say I have 26 kills. Fuck twenty six kills if they have already dropped their payload and destroyed a tank or two. The object of the AA is to suppress them close to their spawn so they can't do any damage at ABC. We can discuss this topic till everyone is blue in the face and never resolve it so I leave it on a case by case basis..................STRYKER.
 
Thanks, I think that helps me understand better. Can you help me out with the scenario where the AA is unable to get to ABC due to enemy tanks and engineer rockets? When the AA is destroyed as soon as it gets to the top of the hill? What do you recommend? Not sure if I have a very good strategy for that. I do like being AA, but sometimes it does not work out well for me :)
 
Simpson after all this time you haven't figured out it is me blowing up your jello table. It is nothing personal my friend but there are two reasons for my attacks. (1) It is just plain jello with no shots, if you start making jello shots I swear I will leave your table alone 50% of the time. (2) My great disliking of Bill Cosby for all the shit he pulled on innocent women. Asshole should have had his junk cut off....................STRYKER.

As for a solution Rex, you seem like a smart guy so just do the best you can in the AA. I know it is a real pain if you can't get any where with it and I only kill when someone is not making an attempt to get into position.

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

Thanks STRYKER I needed this laugh.
 
I am here to serve Whitey. If I can provide one laugh mission accomplished......................STRYKER.
 
My only real complaint about the AA is when I get shot down......... As long as they're not camping in their spawn with the thing I have no complaints.
