I feel like the Okw's flak emplacements have absolutely 0 use in this game. I understand that they're AA, but that's also a very specific role. They're supposed to act as both AA & AI. Their AA performance is semi-decent, but their AI is awful. I'll give you the Flak Emplacement "Experience" if you haven't had it already:

Build flak emplacement that costs MP and Fuel.
Infantry comes near it.
Flak shoots at ground, which is surprisingly not effective.
Flak derps and gets de-crewed.
The infantry man the flak, and use it against you.
Rage Quit.

Now that you've gone through the Flak Emplacement "Experience" I'd like to ask of two fixes to the flak:

1. Make it so it can't be de-crewed, or it can only be de-crewed at EXTREMELY low health.
2. Change the flak so it doesn't fire at the ground as often. Please. I beg of you.

I decrewed one once by walking in with Conscripts and throwing a Molotov at it. Took no casualties because all the flak shells went straight into the ground. A+ unit, would kill again.

Fortifications also have it, and nobody in their right mind builds it unless they want more AA or to just derp around an area that can be easily defended by other means.

Make emplacements great again!

But seriously, more emplacements is the last thing this game needs, though it would be nice if they made some sort of sense.

they should just put in a tower-defense mode for all the emplacement lovers and remove them in the main game

There's literally nothing as useless in the game as those. I don't get how a part of base commanders can remain in such state. The whole thing appears to have health and dps of 1 engineer, not even exaggerating.

the issue back then was how fast this thing can wipe a model per second (same thing happen to bofor back when it release no idea why they've make a same mistake) not for being a suppress unit

this is the only thing they should not took away from. it decrew pretty quick that what it should be cause every allied faction got AT and smoke so it require micro not just walk in front of it

Replace OKW base flak bunkers with MG bunkers.

Replace flak emplacements with flak bunkers.

All it needs in bunker's health so it cannot be decrewed but has to be destroyed.
