I put 20 or so 3.7 inch AA guns on the ground and flew my he111 around... didn't accrue any damage whatsoever?
Is their a trick to setting them up possibly?

Come to ATAG server and spawn at Hawkinge and look up for 30 seconds...you'll notice the AA doing nothing to the 109's above you, maybe the Red's AA does nothing.

Ermmm, you are all wrong. The 3.7 inch as far as I can tell is much like the German 88, its both AA and AT, the 3 inch is AA.
The AA does take some time to "wake up".
Fly atag and fly blue and head over to hawkinge where they have 9 bofors to each airfield.
You will be shot down to red AA/A. I garentee. ;)

Try changing them to the 3 inch stand alone-C, I know they work for me, unfortunately.:-P

I can tell you that the flack works just fine. Try putting a sound locator with the guns. Will improve their response.
Just cause u have 20 flack does not mean u will be shot from sky every time. It takes them some time to get more accurate as u fly around. After a while you will die.

Well maybe the 3.7 inch is not the right application or is not working properly.
I will have to try the 3 inch then.
Yes bofors are not a problem but they are short range.

3.5km is short range? Its beyond their range more like. That really should be fixed.

uhm....
Now that I think of it, I don't remember ever seeing a message on ATAG about "XXXX shot down by flak", it's always "XXXXX shot down by bofors, bofors, bofors"

Yeah, agreed! I have lost count of the number of pilot kills/aircraft damage I have received from the bofors...

Finally! Colander please can something be done about the amount of bofors on ATAG. I get shot down by bofors more than I do by players. England is a virtual no fly zone not beacause of the RAF but because of Bofors guns!

Actually, what I would like is for flak to be effective and not only a black cloud that slows FPS.

We are derailing this thread. I will continue this in the ATAG dedicated server thread. ;)

Precisely my point.
Even if '3.7inch AA, Hurricane Mk1 shot down xxxxxx' shows up, I've realized that in these situations the 3.7 inch actually contributes nil damage, but counts as a partial kill just because the game registers a little flak debris contacting the plane.
If you put 10 or 15 3.7 inch guns on the ground and fly around for a long time, both close and far, low and high; no hits are taken.

How effective was British flak in 1940? It's possibly overmodeled. There was no radar guidance during this period.
Just a thouight:cool:
