I hope they have different material for runways; concrete, PSP, dirt, and (as someone said in another thread) crushed coral.

Like in the Baltic.

And bingo, first person shooter action takes place on aces high II.

Very Kewl, Thank you.

Does the AT fire flack though?
Forgot who said this while trying to take a base, but the quote goes like this. "I cant help you with ack, Im not in attack mode" This is with only 2 ack up in the town while troops were there, waiting. The rest of the town was down.

Actually, wouldn't it have been interesting if they put in dual-purpose 88s instead?

How do AAA fuzes work when they're not proximity fuzes?  Time?  Barometric Pressure?

Off to discover the answer on the intardnet....

Time.

This picture shows an automatic fuse setter mounted on an 128mm flak gun.



And here you can see how the fuse was set manually on 88mm rounds

Love the new scenery, it has much more of a WW2 Europe feel to it.

One thing I would like to see is some non-strat object groups terrain builders can add to MA and other terrains. If the buildings in the airfield towns could be made into different looking towns and village groups but without the strat associations or any flak these could add some visual interest to the large featureless areas between the fields and strat. Also they could be inserted between spawn points and fields to give a more built up area for GVs to fight through. You could also have bridges, partly sunken ships, bombed out factories and so on.

Speaking of object, what is the object mean on a plane? Don't mean to hijack, just curious. I do like Greebo's idea. Think they need minor rivers that would run through certain towns, so you could utilise PT boats a bit more. Would have a bridge in town over the river for the GVrs. Could be saboutaged by your own side maybe to prevent GV crossings. Sorry, just thinking out loud here.  :salute
