Chris Garrett Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 Even if stationary and with out any target acquired, my Anti-Aircraft vehicles don't seem to react to opposing Air Power? Is this handled in some non-visual way or am I just missing something? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kestrl Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 Check out the list of fixes for CMBB 1.03 and I believe that issue has been addressed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Garrett Posted April 20, 2003 Author Share Posted April 20, 2003 Thanks Kestrl. I had checked out the 1.03 patch but simply missed that line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 I think in the old patches they shot at aircraft at only > 1500m. May be realistic if you say they don't want to releavl themself but not useful on a CM map. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtMuhammed Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 On a related issue, does the computer factor in incoming fire when calculating aircraft attacks. Research has shown that a pilot's accuracy can be greatly affected by just putting a lot of stuff into the air. AA weapons tend to keep their tracer loads not only for aiming but so that the pilots see things whizzing by them. You feel awful lonely when the air around you seems to be filled with tracer and flack, even if it isn't really effective. Of course, veteran pilots react better but it is a very real factor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bone_Vulture Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 Sgtgoody managed to answer before I had the chance to ask. I was wondering myself about the amount of suppression caused to the enemy ground attack planes by scattered AA fire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 As far as I know (who knows for sure when it's not in the manual?) AA fire may casue the plane not to appear or to disappear sooner than planned, but once the plane is over the battlefield it is unaffected by AA fire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demoss Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 AA fire may casue the plane not to appear or to disappear sooner than planned, but once the plane is over the battlefield it is unaffected by AA fire. Absolutely untrue. I've been able to determine (whenever I've cared) the precise time when an aircraft was shot down by AA fire through careful observation.

SgtMuhammed Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Hmm...In that case this is something that has to be looked at. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
