It's a result of how certain objects are treated in game and I really don't see them being changed.

Afk for a year or so.  The name of a gun turret in game.  Falanx, huh? :banana:

If a target can receive fire, then hopefully it should be able deliver fire, especially if it is through the same object.

I say close up the auto ack in the towns so that they are not able to fire though objects.  After all, they are AA guns, not anti-tank or infantry support guns.   ;)

most likely the ack lowers its resolution to the bare minimum, so all trees/bushes disappear.  Its a gamey thing that should be fixed  :D.

IMO, the ack is a little redundant given the dispersion of buildings and the difficulty of navigation. It is much harder for a lancaster to come over and level the town. I'm not sure if it can be done any more at all with the 14x 1000lbers load out. It is also much harder for tanks to kill the town since you can't tell if a building has popped, or if you got them all.

bring a jeep to spot buildings for either the M4 calliopes or aircraft. the look of a salvo of calliope rockets flying over your head or a P47 dropping a rocket beside you is an adrenaline rush in itself... :O
