I wanted to post this few days ago (at day the new update came out), and yeah as title say, make AA and Field gun auto repair. I have played over 30 matches now with new update and i haven’t seen 1 player repairing them. Sure they do repair but most time it remains broken (as i notice). And even if you try to repair there is really good chance to get killed by plane, player, tank as sometimes it’s impossible to get near AA/Field gun. It would be nice if it automatically repair at same time as it respawned before or it takes longer, idc just make it auto repair. ---

Then all planes should auto repair also. ---

Auto repair is just too much. If you want to shoot down planes you should at least fix the things yourself. Just how easy do you want it to be ? I think theres a bug though with the repair atm. I’ve tried to repair them but nothing happened. On the one occasion I did repair one a squad mate beat me to it which makes me less inclined to repair anymore. ---

You can already repair all planes with one button and you can fly them away in cover. AA/Field gun can’t be taken into cover and repaired, you also need to be support, pilot or tanker to repair gun. And planes can turn around really fast and attack AA gun which makes it even harder to repair. “Auto repair is just too much”? Before it was just fine as gun was re-spawning by itself, and now it’s not ok to be auto repaired after 5 min or so if no one repairs it. ---

“and now it’s not ok to be auto repaired after 5 min or so if no one repairs it.” That’s right. Fighters and AP are so easy to shoot down now with AA. Making someone actually repair it provides a bit more balance. And yes I do repair guns and yes I know its tough, you get sniped, bombed etc but if you want the ease of sitting on an AA gun there should be a price. ---

The ease of sitting in an AA gun ? Don’t be daft, any AA gun in BF1 are death traps. You might get a few planes but that’s about your limit as even if the pilots aren’t very good the snipers will take you out quickly. Point out all the players that go 50 or 100 - 1 in AA compared to the pilots? Thought so. They are fine as they are. ---

Oh poor thing, the 5 auto repairs would probably provide such imbalance that all pilots would be shoot down. What’s the point of having AA if you can’t use it? In BF4 everyone had AA rocket, AA tanks,… and everyone was fine with it, now in BF1 where you have 1 gun that can do something about planes it’s so unfair. There is really nothing else that can be used against planes. It’s almost impossible to get AA Artillery Truck and most people go with other versions of it, sure here and there someone use it but not many, with default version of Artillery Truck you can’t do much as it’s hard to destroy planes. I did it few times but plane needs to fly really close to grounds, same goes for AT rocket. And repairing AA gun? Yeah, so far i could use it only on start of match, as n1 even bothers to repair it. Also AA gun is placed in areas where most action is happening and it’s really hard to use it. So if you need to repair it first and then use it, well good luck with that as you need to watch out for everyone. And spawn AA guns are most time useless as n1 really fly into spawn (only at start of match most time). I don’t know why they added this change to game but it’s really dumb and useless, i would rather have old AA gun spawning system than this “repair me” thing. They just made planes more freaking annoying. And everyone that is crying how OP AA gun is, it’s not, this gun is made for destroying planes. If you’re such a noob that you can’t destroy it or avoid it, then don’t fly planes. We all know it’s really easy to die behind AA gun and even destroy it. ---

Don’t spawn in as a sniper if you want to use the AA. ---

Last night I decimated the enemy team on sector 2 of Argonne (Ops) with the field cannon. I kept repairing it and ended up like 46 and 6 with a 19 streak. That is the best emplacement spot in the game. One thing I will say about the repairs is that they take way too long. It took what felt like a minute to take it back to full health from 50% and it needs to get back to 100% before you can start to use it again. I tried repairing the AA on St Quentin during an Ops match and I couldn’t repair quick enough to get it up and running before I would get bombed. I will be running the repair tool a lot more because of this feature. ---

I think nothing “automatic” (except weapons), does not belong to the www1 game. The tanks, planes, the cannons etc have to repaired in the same way and the ammunition must come from the Support. ---

Maybe---- When the planes get shot down an crash to the ground, leave it there until some one repairs them so they can take off again. Or sit there broken all game---- ---

The tanks, planes, the cannons etc have to repaired in the same way and the ammunition must come from the Support. Sure i agree, but if that’s the case than AA gun should be repaired way faster or could be repaired by all classes. Pilot can turn around and attack AA gun in few seconds, but AA gun can’t be repaired and used so fast. ---

Yes it would be nice if it repairs quicker or perhaps change it back to the way it was. It too pointless to repair then when all a tank or plane has to do is fire once and its gone. The problem has been with planes period. Tanks are balanced with the various anti tank weapons we have. Though when they fire from a great distance and there is no cover well you get what I’m saying. I have said it before and ill say it again there needs to be a anti air class. Something with a portable aa gun. ---

I was playing Senai Desert the other day and decided to try repairing but I found it a bit boring to be honest. It was kind of okay following a tank with my team and keeping it repaired as I added to the team, but the stationary repairs were kind of a waste of time. I think it makes sense to have stationary weapons disabled until they are repaired to stop people sitting on them so long. However, on the other hand I have also played quite a few matches where multiple planes have had free reign against a team that made no effort to shoot them down. I tried to do it myself but when you are the only one repairing and getting blown to bits each time, it’s a no go. ---

No, maybe you should be that one player repairing it…Or get in a squad use comms & ask someone to rep it ---

Usually there are 3 active planes at most maps, and if all of them fly over main flags and destroy AA you can’t really do much about it even with repaired AA . So yeah it’s a bit sad to see AA guns the way they are. And take for example vehicles, everyone is able to use Assault class and if you’re using it you can use 3x dynamite, 4x AT rocket gun & 1x grenade and if you waste them you can simply get more in few seconds, so using those things allow you to easily destroy any vehicle. So how bad is it to have 1 thing that can do something against planes (if you’re not pilot or tanker)? ---

> [@AjeepDog](#): > > Maybe---- When the planes get shot down an crash to the ground, leave it there until some one repairs them so they can take off again. > Or sit there broken all game---- Same thing with all vehicles. If the other team abandons it the opposing team should be able to use it. At least the last time i tried it wouldn’t let you fire or anything.
