But all you se is the hit indicator indicating a hit but the plane survives mysteriously.

I know all about that. However, in those cases it can't be about lag. The planes are coming straight at me, and with a straight-shooting gun it'd be a hit, lag or no lag. But I've read somewhere about rounds not doing proper damage to a plane's engine. I can usually easily destroy a plane with a single shot if I manage to hit it on the side - I've done that a couple of times.

Yes, I once shot a loaded B-17 down with an 88mm and gained 6 kills at once...only to find out I was firing AT shells. 1 shot 1 kill...its easy to shoot planes down with main guns, I've done and seen other players do it many times on maps like Breakthrough - 1944.

well, It should be possible. though, It shouldent happen that often..

Heres some T-34's getting ready for AA shooting..

My complain about bocage was that there are too many aa guns.In vanilla bf it is acceptable because there are 5 planes in vanilla bocage one is b17,and in vanilla bf the planes are much more devastating,but in bocage of fh there is only 2 (or 3 depending on flag combination) aircraft,one is a fighter but the aa numbers are equal to original bocage which makes dogfight unneccessary.5 planes vs 7 flaks of total in vanilla, 2 or 3 planes vs 7 flaks in fh,that was my point.
P.s:i dont think any aircraft was shot down by a tanks main gun,it is impossible considering slow traverse speed elevation.

Pretty please, give us a Bocage like the one in XWWII. That's how the one in Vanilla BF should have looked like.

Cheers,

ive been killed by a landmine while flying in my plane i think i was flying to low :/, thing was, my landing gear wasnt down

[MrFancypants]

What do you think about decreasing the falk-damage a little bit?

[AussieZaitsev]

FlaK damage is realistic, its the aircrafts speed and manouverability that makes the flak seem superdooper atm

[MrFancypants]

Well ok, that's right
I actually liked how some of the dive-bombers fly now, but it also makes them perfect flakfodder. So perhaps it's better to give them more speed. Like this it also required more skill to bomb something

Impossible? Nope. Very hard? Definitely. I myself haven't found account of tanks shooting planes down with the main gun so far, but I wouldn't be surprised if it has happened. I do know that tanks sometimes did TRY to shoot planes down, just haven't heard if anyone has had success.
