Higby on Air/AA balance.. Is it the fast track to Airside?

When did anyone in this thread ever write that Ground AA should one shot aircraft?

Even more XP when you can find a guy who tries to juke and escape, instead of just flying directly at the ground out of spite, leaving you only with assist XP.

Hopefully it's given MrBloodworth plenty of time to cite all those examples of players arguing for instadeath AA.

Furthermore, even if there were many players with ridiculous expectations for ground AA, I fail to see how that invalidates more moderate suggestions.

What I am seeing is a lot of ad hominem & strawmen.

Actually this forum encourages you to post in existing threads rather than create new ones, and the issues of this thread have still not been addressed in game.

In this case its obviously bad.

To bump a thread that has been dead for a month about Higby sharing new info the day before he is supposed to share new info is just being obnoxious.

Hardly, Higby has yet to properly address the Air and AA balance, and on the main forums remains a major if not 'the' major issue brought up by players. The topic remains relevant, while your objections to Redzone bumping are not.

Perhaps Higby will properly address the Air imbalance in PS2 tonight and this thread and all others like it can finally rest in peace.

Are any of the patch changes going to balance the fighters in general, like I don't know making the Reaver actually worth a dam? It dies to small arms fire, can't manouvere for crap and it's guns even when upgraded are just WOEful against any target - the damage is pitiful.
