Seems like we were pretty far away, but then it just showed up in the armory. ---

As I said, unlocked in a couple of days. Its mad OP though. 2 people can easily down any strafing plane. I guess that’s the reason why Dice kept MAAs and SAAs so weak. ---

I had the same issue. Make sure your combat role is set to Vehicle Buster. The second I did that, the Flieg. became available, yet is still unavailable with the Light Infantry role. ---

I found my solution to it been greyed out and not allowing you to equip it, may work for others or be intended this way. Go to your second gadget and change from rifle grenade to one of the other gadgets and go back and now you can select the fliegerfaust. ---

Going up against a pilot who knows a good route against stationary AA on a map is crazy hard. This gives ground units a chance to ambush planes on their strafing runs. If the pilot has a scout on the ground launching flares they’ll have a chance to counter. So it needs team work to have an effective counter, which I think is good too. ---

Why is no one talking about it, I mean that today got unlocked and that there seems to be a bug with the fliegerfaust. It never showed up in the armory, it says complete de special mission but there’s no mission. I’ve tried the methods mentioned above but still no luck. ---

It can’t damage forts at all. And even if you’re point blank,a full salvo from it leaves soldiers at 1% health. It’s purely for AA use,and it does a damn good job at that. Shame we can’t just have proper AA balance,but this works too…untill the pilots cry about this too ---

> [@YourLocalPlumber](#): > > As I said, unlocked in a couple of days. Its mad OP though. 2 people can easily down any strafing plane. I guess that’s the reason why Dice kept MAAs and SAAs so weak. It’s not crazily op. And there is no problem for a well organized two men team to shoot down planes. Its shell speed and damage/shot are kind of op tho. Only a slightly damage reduction or speed reduce would be good enough. ---

Here is is in action on a soldier and then on a plane, **I do not know if that plane was at full health though** , it got some hits from other guys on its previous pass. [![Video: Trying out the fliegerfaust on a soldier and a plane](https://battlefieldforum.co/uploads/default/original/3X/c/7/c7ebdf4f27890f37a98dd3d8926ae3969124bd84.jpeg "Trying out the fliegerfaust on a soldier and a plane") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwMS0YIZWPk) Picture me making an evil smile while I am fantasizing the terrible vengeance I can unleash toward the type of “ultra pro fighter pilots” who empty the sky of planes like my own and then start strafing the ground targets ---

I am also a pilot and I am not screaming like a little girl over it. Maybe it is those fighter pros who expect to be invincible because they are good dogfighters? . It is also an indirect buff to tanks since fewer assaults will carry AT launchers now in mixed maps ---
