Zugkraftwagen 20mm Flak usage/tactics

[Orthok]

I am currently playing the CMRT campaign "blunting the spear".  I have 2 Zugkraftwagen 20mm positioned in open ground unhidden within c2 distance of their section leader.  An enemy aircraft enters the battle space and each time my flak engages the AC, but in the end after 2 engagements I lose both Flak weapons as the aircraft had targeted them.

Ideally I'd like the Flak to have fields of fire to the airspace without the enemy Aircraft targeting them in order to increase their surviveability, but I am uncertain about what type of terrain to drive these trucks into to increase their concealment, but without losing their ability to spot Aircraft and engage.  

Thanks,

George

That's a tough one. I typically like to position my AA assets with their back to a wall or forest and with open sky in front of them. That way they have open sky for spotting and targeting in the direction the guns are facing and cover in the opposite direction. When you have two more more AA assets you can create fields of overlapping fire so they cover each other too.

That is what I do but to be honest I have no idea how effective that is. I have never tested it. Sounds like a fun test though...

Don't expect Flak to be that effective, especially with just two guns.
