Guest Stabsfeldwebel Posted January 10, 2000 Share Posted January 10, 2000 Ok i know i haven't played the "gold" version and am not a tester but just from the screenshots from CMHQ it sure seems like the AAA and SPAA aren't very effective, its not like these planes would be hiding over the horizon, they'd have to spot the vehicles, and most of the time, give the vehicles warning. Is this just me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Madmatt Posted January 10, 2000 Share Posted January 10, 2000 It's just you! Wait for the last part of Air Attack and you will see just how 'ineffective' triple A is or isn't.... Madmatt out.. The pilot's families probably think the AAA was a little too effective! p.s. Remember that most of those pictures were taken in a custom scenario (several in fact) that were created to just show air power blowing a convoy all to hell, the last Air Attack section will show it in a slightly more 'fair' light! ------------------ If it's in Combat Mission, it's on Combat Mission HQ! combathq.thegamers.net [This message has been edited by Madmatt (edited 01-09-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Big Time Software Posted January 10, 2000 Share Posted January 10, 2000 I think part of the problem is the setup for the CMHQ scenario. Too many planes (perhaps?) and not enough flak. I just played a sceanario where the Germans had only a single, Quad 20mm AA gun. It managed to chase off both of the planes after their initial run. Neither came back for more fun and excitement AAA is not a magic shield, but rather a semi-effective counter measure. I can tell you one thing... if you are attacked by a couple of planes without ANY dedicated AAA you are in big trouble. With at least some AAA you stand a chance. So it is doing something Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionn Posted January 10, 2000 Share Posted January 10, 2000 Steve, You know Matt . He made a couple of scenarios in which the Germans had virtually no AAA which were just Allied killfests and then he made one in which the Germans have lots of AAA in which the Germans wreaked havoc . He sent them to me and they are pretty fun actually . One interesting point was that in that convoy attack scenario he took pics of in which the Germans had about 3 or 4 2mm FlaKvirlings I ended up with 5 kills after only about 10 turns so to say that German FlaK isn't working is a major understatement. I'm really looking forward to hitting back at those Jabos ------------------ ___________ Fionn Kelly Manager of Historical Research, The Gamers Net - Gaming for Gamers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
