Requesting clarification on Soloing heavy AA

[chickenjason123]

According to the PR rules page on soloing AA vehicles:

Quote

AAV or anti-air vehicles that do not have heavy ground attack features can be taken solo (Avenger, Gopher, Gaskin, Stormer, Fennek) AAV with heavy ground attack abilities must be fully manned when in direct combat. (Type 95, Tunguska, Shilka, ZSU-57, M163 Vulcan)

 I would like to know what counts as "direct combat", is driving it to the frontline acting as anti infantry/light vehicle weapon only, or is parking it at the backline (e.g., near a already capped and secured flag) only shooting at enemy CAS also count as "direct combat"? Thanks for the clarification.

If you are at risk of getting killed by anything but enemy CAS you are in direct contact. Ideally, these assets should be fully manned, but if no one is gunning, they are able to be run solo to protect the team against enemy air, which is why they can be used one man, unlike any other asset.

This applies to all AA being operated solo, they are to be used in a safe location and only against enemy air assets
