hm_stanley Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I'm assuming that we can use AA to shoot down those iron IL-2 tubs.. but what does it look like when one of those commie planes are obliterated by the crack uber 37mm AA fire? is there a big commie crater? a boom? something? I could not find anything in the forums.. hence the question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazing 88's Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Good question as I have not had the experience as of yet of having any flak units shoot at aircraft. I am going to guess... a sound effect of a plane going down?!?!.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
womble Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 My recollection is that there's no feedback on the effect of AA firing at enemy CAS. If you hear planes that aren't yours, see your AA fire and there aren't any bombs or bullets from the sky, your AA might have worked. Whether they shot the flyboy down in flames, or just made him break off his attack run isn't relevant to the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostRider3/3 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I remember in the old Combat Mission games, sometimes you would see a fire started in the fields, or in the woods where the plane went down.. but I don't think that is modeled in the new games, but no matter they are still brilliant. Its amazing seeing about 4 flak trucks, and a few 37mm flak guns firing skyward at dusk. I have noticed that the attacking plane may fly around but It appeared to stop attacking my land forces... I have only seen this about 4 times 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinkin Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 It would be kinda cool to get feedback via a sound effect either from BF or a modder. Kevin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apocal Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I've been playing this game on-again/off-again for around eight months now and I still have not encountered a single aircraft shot down. Not just visual, but my own aircraft, launching attacks and being fired upon by AA; sometimes they get damaged and break off, the majority of the time they keep on trucking, but I've never seen one labelled "KNOCKED OUT" or "SHOT DOWN" or anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I've had planes (Focke-Wulf) shot down in CMFI. But it took 4 Bofors AA-guns to do the trick. I believe it said "SHOT DOWN" in the UI. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lille Fiskerby Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 In the manual it says : "Light and medium AA guns have the ability to shoot at enemy aircraft to either disrupt or stop attacks" (page 74). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
