Flak and ack trucks
« on: July 26, 2011, 10:59:04 AM »
Flak and ack trucks...easily killed by planes easily kills planes. Flak truck can even use ap round to kill tanks but a near miss by an he round would kill your gun crew and probably blow up the truck.

If your reffering to hitting your own truck im sure Hitech would program it much like the tailguns where your gun is unshootable when tail is in the way

I think you guys are overestimating the medium caliber AA guns.

1) it fires a shell somewhere around 1/5th as large as the 5" and those take pretty close hits to kill planes

2) you'll have to set the fuze to burst at a certian distance (only U.S. AA guns had proxy fuzes)

3) litteraly ONE pass by a D3A and this thing should be dead (gunners die = the gun dies)
You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.
