  • AA ships

Ok, We all know that AA  are valuable to battles, but what happens when the AA  shoots down their own
 side's planes. NOTHING. NOTHING HAPPENS except the CV loses planes, which take time to load. Then they
want to know why there is no sight...No planes that is why... CVs are not just there to scout. They are there to
remove scouts, other FP and attempt to keep the other side blind as well, We will attempt to light up the other
ships, as most CV player play BBs too and know the value of seeing.

Here are some idea's i would like to throw out there and see if anything maybe done.

1. If you cross someone in battle and fire you main guns, you lose exp for that game. When you AA your own side's
planes nothing happens, except upsetting the cv player... We too are after credits. Now AA ships pretty well shoot
 at anything with rapid fire. Now if a AA ship shoots down an enemy plane he get credits and exp.  Shoot down
your own side's planes. No pently.

I would like to see a small pently for each plane AAed from the same side. This might help to assist CVs in scouting
and not watching there planes get shot down by friendly fire while mixing it up with other fighters.

2. Dive bombing: DBing is getting harder to do with all the AAing, esspecially when they target the default height.
I would like to see an option for FP and other planes to go to a height of 120 to allow for flying above the AA, but only
Dbing at 100 or below. If NF is based on WW2 stuff, then planes could fly above the AA, but only DB, TP at a certain
height.

I watch too many games where I see Cv player lose all their planes to AA that are set at a default height
for db and get wiped out. The question has to be asked, why bother dbing at all. Anyway, my suggestions only

If they are AA'ing an enemy plane in the process; To be honest, your planes shouldn't be there; Your planes should be over the enemy scouting; Because AA can deal with enemy bombers and scouts, when you can scout; Its far more efficient like that.

If they are attacking your planes with no enemy planes allowed; Then yes, that is an issue.

Having played AA ship alot, I still try and kill enemy planes that are engaged with friendly planes IF I feel they are a threat to the team (Big wave of bombers vs 1/2 fighters) or scouting a ship that is engaged in battle. I will still try and avoid friendly fighters, and 95% of the time I will, but sometimes I will nip/kill friendly fighters; But the bombers/enemy wave will likely be dead; I've even had times where I have cleared a full enemy wave of fighters that was engaging friendly bombers without a loss to the bombers. If i had killed, say, 1 or 2 bombers, we still profited massively from that as a team.

With regards to bombing, there is a discussion on the test server forum. However, if you micromanage your hight, group your bombers and use manual divebombing, you can easily avoid AA.

Pretty much agree with Lukas.
If the planes are taking too long or losing, I will start to shoot doing my best to avoid TKing. I will ask the CV to
move his planes first though.

If I see friendly planes doing nothing at all but sitting above friendly BBs, I will AA them down.

What is the point in doing that? Just killing friendly planes for the sake of it doesn't bring any gains to the battle...

Oh so you would like them not to shot down incoming scouts.

Yep we dont need players like this.

As CV I usually avoid sending planes, where there are aa ships shooting enemy fighters over me.
If I have to launch planes I would simply tell AA ships on my team to stop, or fly my planes as low as
possible, to avoid being shot down.

Just send planes lowered and fight over the enemy lines
