Guest Stabsfeldwebel Posted January 5, 2000 Share Posted January 5, 2000 Will SPAAA (self propelled anti aircraft artillery) be self acting? meaning will it automatically start firing at incomming aircraft, or do you have to tell it to be on air alert? Like the 88's, if you are using them as anti armor, and a plane comes overhead will they automatically start firing at the plane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionn Posted January 5, 2000 Share Posted January 5, 2000 Re-targetting is handled by the AI... It'd be silly if you had to target planes yourself since you'd be helpless if one came on midway through a turn. The TacAI handles it. ------------------ ___________ Fionn Kelly Manager of Historical Research, The Gamers Net - Gaming for Gamers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted January 5, 2000 Share Posted January 5, 2000 It might also be interesting to note that if an AA gun is firing at ground targets, it will take longer until it targets the incoming aircraft (and sometimes it might be too late). So if you hear airplanes coming, make sure your AA assets have no firing orders, in which case they will open fire as soon as they spot the Jabo.

John Hough Posted January 5, 2000 Share Posted January 5, 2000 Will there be a good way to keep your AA guns from acquiring new ground targets, but still be available to target air targets? Let's say the jabo isn't here yet, but my briefing has told me to expect 'em, and I don't want my 88 to start randomly targeting tanks my jagdtiger can take care of. Will hiding work? Will there be a separate order? Or is this just not possible? -John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Madmatt Posted January 5, 2000 Share Posted January 5, 2000 Patience grasshoppers! I have over 35 MORE pictures in series to get posted! Do you really think I would have neglected to cover SPAAA's and their usage in detail!?! All will be revealed, ya just got to wait your turn. I believe you get to see some awesome AAA in action in part 3 but maybe I can be persuaded to bump a teaser pic or two into tonights offering!

Wild Bill Wilder Posted January 5, 2000 Share Posted January 5, 2000 I had a little preview of Matt's work yesterday. This is something you don't want to miss. Especially check out the German AA targeting the Thunderbolt. Impressive! Good job, Madmatt! ------------------ Wild Bill Wild Bill's Raiders Director of Scenario Design, The Gamers Net billw@thegamers.net http://wbr.thegamers.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Time Software Posted January 5, 2000 Share Posted January 5, 2000 Hide order will keep AA units from engaging ground targets unless it is a matter of life and death. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
