"human" Flak/AA, meaning friendly Fire enabled

[Skarphol]

I know that I will be extremely p...ed if I get shot down by my own flak after returning from a long and challenging mission.
This goes under the same thing as occational engine failures and so on. If these features are implementetd in the game they must be possible to switch off.
Getting killed by circumstances you are in no position to control is actually not very fun, even though it is higly realistic..

Being able to identify yourself to friendly AA by a flare from the flare gun would be cool but none of us want 100% real. How fun to fly around for 4 years bagging one or two enemies or so?.

IL2 has this feature, just set flak to "none" instead of red or blue, this applies to shipping also, use the time out feature to fine tune coop missions of if df server maps keep "none" artillery away from airfields or blank out a/f area with "object" behind flak gun to stop landing friendly aircraft being fired upon, you can use some vehicles with less lethal armament instead of flak for a better effect.

If anything with artillery/flak in SOW it would be good to have percentage levels for accuracy and effect for the flak type put up (barrage/defence) instead of the sniper style we have now.

Flak in SOW should be far more adjustable than it is or has been In IL2 series.


Good Luck
