Using the FMB you can see in B4 2 red AA and 1 red moving trucks column.
Running the mission in dogfight server mode and using the static camera you can see that the red moving trucks column is destroyed by the red AAs.
If you use a red plane and destroy the static objects, server say Ennemy AA destroyed. They are all red...

Any idea about this problem ?

I looked at the mission and there is a very simple explanation. The AA gun is really not 'shooting at' the friendly vehicle. It is shooting at an enemy target to the north. The friendly vehicle simply moves in front of the shooting artillery gun and gets destroyed.

It is basically a small error on the part of the mission builder for placing the vehicle waypoint so close the the friendly AA gun. It gets so close to the gun that it gets in the line of fire and is hit.

It is easy to prove this. Simply move the first waypoint of the vehicle convoy so it does not come so close to the AA gun. You will see that the AA gun still fires in the same direction as before (at a distant Blue target). However, this time the friendly vehicle is not hit.

Problem solved.....no bug.

Concerning your second issue: "If you use a red plane and destroy the static objects, server say Ennemy AA destroyed. They are all red..."

If you look at the mission in the FMB there are many Blue static objects. You are incorrect when you stated "They are all red...". You must have destroyed friendly units. I personally flew a Red plane in the mission and destroyed Red artillery units and the message I got was 'Friendly AAA Destroyed'.

So again, I do not see a problem.
