CMAK : Flak VS planes

[raz_atoth]

Planes definetly can be killed.What should be remembered is that you'll need something better than those 20mm poof guns,if you want to kill :) The only way you can find out if you killed it,is at the end of the game when the number of destroyed aircraft is displayed.It is said you can notice-if you pay enough attention-the explosion of the plane.I for one never did Also,i didn't noticed for the killed planes-if any-to show up on the units stats. page during the game.In any case it is quite difficult to kill a plane.I think i saw about 4-5 destroyed planes in my entire CM career :smoke: It's much easier to just scare them away.From my knowledge a plane WILL drop it's bombs/rockets no matter how much AA fire it encounters.Unless it's destroyed of course.AA matters though,on the number of strafing passes a plane will do.The more AA you have the less chances to see that pesky plane that just killed half your army doing anothoer pass.As a general rule i never forget to buy some 20/25 mm guns when there's the slightest chance to see a plane flying above my head.Or-better- a 20mm quad if i'm playing with the jerries.Even if there won't be any planes around,those annoying little things will cause some headaches to your opponent.They're stealthy,they have a high ROF and in some circumstances-like i painfully found out-can be your best AT weapon against those big armored beast your opponent is throwing against you.
