New, WishlistPublic

Description

AA autocannons are too strong.
Im actually dont know about autocannons effectiveness against armored vehicles in real life, but im pretty sure, that AA cannot blow up tank in few seconds (AI levaing tank in about 5 seconds)

Dual 35 mm? Are you sure that can't damage a tank?

Exactly! Its 35mm, what is it against 120mm AP? Weapon doesnt 'decrease' armor, it penetrates or not. So it doesnt matter how many projectiles you shoot if none of them can penetrate armor. Wiki says that AA artillery was used against tanks few times during first and second world wars, but it was 77mm and 90mm calibers (against armor of same time period).
Anyway, in game so far, AA more effective against tanks, than tanks themselfs, and im sure its not correct.
PS This problem cames from original OFP game, where ZSU-23-4 "Shilka", with 4x23mm could easely wipe out few tanks.

Well, if you didn't already notice, the doesn't have a realistic penetration system.

Im not asking to make penetration system, im saying that AA are too strong, and their effectivness against heavy armored vehicles should be reduced, or it became "ultimate anti-air-armor-human weapon of total annihilation"
