Taking flak

[McIvan]

I am thinking about scenario - 4 x 20mm quads vs 20 trucks :)

I suspect it would be short :)

Make it 4x20mm quads vs 20 King Tigers and let the infamous Red Devil handle the guns :smoke:

But what a fun ;)

Depends whether your side has the trucks :)

:) AI takes trucks full of conscript German security troops :)

I only laid claim to 4 KTs :)

I say give me 1 AA gun per KT and a COY of ATRs.. then it will a challenge for the Germans to survive...

MOBILE FLAK WILL FIRE WHILE MOVING


PIC 1 - Here a fleet of mixed mobile-flak vehicles is not moving, and they engage an enemy plane..





PIC 2 - Now I've given them a 'fast' order and they're all moving but they still engage incoming aircraft..





PS - If you want to see what aircraft type is attacking, one way is to pause the playback and hit key '1', then 'shift-A' to look up.(Other ways are to use the keys 5, 8, 9 views)

Mobile flak will fire while moving but will the hit chances be the same as if they were static?The chances should be significantly lower,but does CM simulate this behavior,like it does for AFVs?

.......but will the hit chances be the same as if they were static?......

It's hard to get solid figures because there's never any 'hit chance' readouts with flak,all I know for sure is that moving flak does sometimes kill planes as the test below proves..
PS - Also note the flak opens fire at around 1500 metres, that's getting on for a mile which is pretty impressive, as it means flak can easily cover the whole of most CM battlefields..

It is possible to ID the airplane that is attacking you. It is described in this thread. But is it possible for the one whose airplane is attacking to find out which type attacks his opponents forces ? Is it perhaps only possible in case of "friendly" fire ?
