Player operated AA "FlaK" guns?
Will player operated AA guns be added in future?
While low alt defense small caliber AA guns are pretty much point and shoot, the high alt "FlaK" guns had special machines to calculate intercept and was entered by hand (later was all motorized). |

We haven't heard much on this feature in quite some time. I wonder if it was cut from the release version of the game?
I was really looking forward to this as I like being a bomber gunner. Hope to see it in the game at some point. |

I'm pretty sure I've read some time ago that this feature won't make it into the release. Would be neat for some occasional action but not really fundamental for now. Anyway I guess modeling more complex Flak installations wouldn't be development time spent too well. Interesting for sure, but if I could get some obscure plane instead, the choice would be clear to me...

I think crewable flak guns is a GREAT idea for MP... imagine your base coming under heavy vulching or something like that.. No use spawning a plane because you are strafed or damaged on ground. But with mannable flak guns you can get back at them with a 40mm, 20mm or .50 cal
I like the 88mm FLAK idea, but it's complicated for a wwii aircombat sim? |

It'd be hard getting half a dozen people online to properly handle one of the big guns. |

light AAA (lets say up to 40mm caliber) would be ok to be playercontroled. These calibers were used to aim directly at single aircraft.
caliber like 88mm not................. the numbers of planes and AAA pieces are in game most times much lower than in reality. |

Back on topic, I sure hope to see manable AA guns, but I can wait if it needs to be put off, just like drivable cars, it will be a cool addition once there is a lull in the programming action and someone can be spared for it, but certainly not a top priority. |

I believe Oleg pretty much said the game engine would ALLOW this for the FUTURE. And perhaps broaden the Horizon to make a WWIIOnline-like world war two combat simulator. That would be awesome!! But for now, I'm more than happy with the Planes of the BoB =) |
