Btw.: It seems to me that the M5 quad is much better at shooting down planes than the Ostwind.
Are their stats actually that different? Or is it just a random observation?
From the brief Dev comment I vaguely remember reading from months back (in the interim of which there has been no announced change to AA), M5 Quad had a slightly better chance per burst. Biut it wasnt much.
I remember thinking it was ok, considering how armored an Ostwind is in comparison.
I also remember thinking that frankly both Quad and Ostwind AA was subpar, and that pintle mounted AA was so low as to be pretty much ignored.
Something like 12% for Quad and 10% for Ostwind, and 1% per pintle MG.
AA is calculated differently iirc, in that it only requires one "hit" to kill the plane.
Overall, I think AA should be improved, but since I dont play 2v2+, where aircraft are more prominent, I dont know how bad it gets there, though I can speculate its much more needed considering how many of the Commanders are more erife for exploitation in those modes.
Sorry, thats all I got.
