Thanks for this! Nice video. I wonder how much is propaganda in order to make pilots feel better about it though.

AA in the game, seem to use a kind of 'barrage fire' where they just put a number of rounds into a volume of space around the aircraft. You can see from the video above, that this is the least effective flak method, and that evasive procedures by pilots do not improve chances of avoiding flak. It would be useful to be able to tie the AA battery units together (maybe with the 'set' button, and be able to select the firing methodology (3 types) from a 'director unit'.

A request for improved flak AI has been lodged at Il2BugTacker HERE (http://www.il2bugtracker.com/issues/59)

Thanks, I've been wondering what was up for ages! I tried putting flack guns down and having 20-30 wellies go over, not a single kill! I upped the number of flak guns to over 150 before they got a kill. It's just silly.
