Where can I find maps of the fields identifying the targets I looked all round no luck.

If you are looking for the design of each field type and the distribution of hangers, acks, fuels, etc, you have these pictures already installed in the game. Just open your clipboard and choose the desired map from the combobox at the top of the clipboard, where normal world is selected by default.

Turbot,

I have the field maps here. I'll get around to strat targets, etc eventually.

thanks.

Question are there only 2 types of aaa at airfields? What size of guns are they? This is what I am looking for - trying to figure out best strategy to kill guns at airfields with strafing. So...looking for a map that identifies the caliber of the gun positions.

P.S. (Excellent ACM stuff - Rocketman's site went down a while back I think you have only copies of that stuff now "Mastering the Merge" charts are really nice.

Here ya go, this is what I was meaning, Snefens made em. NOw I know why some of the guns get me worse!

Well, the calibre of the gun don't matter much.. there's a quad 20mm, 37mm and 88mm... the 88s only fire above 3K (or detonate anyway)... and the 37mm, one hit and your toast unless you're in a heavily armored plane. the quad 20s will probably kill ya too.

The best way to de-ack a field is to never fly in one direction for more than 2 seconds since the AAA works on a predictor. It aims at the area your plane will be when it fired... and it's damn good at aiming at that spot. But it can't predict where you're moving to next, so you just gotta be somewhere else.

I think I have been noticing different guns engage at different ranges too? Seems like it anyway, and I am finding planes like the 38 can take out aaa before the aaa really wakes up.

Neat thing too is these maps show which 37mm are player manned. (the *)

I dunno, I've plenty of planes to take out the ack, usually (this is for the small fields), I'll dive in and open up after the ack has been firing at me for some time (I adjust heading/angle a lot) and strafe down the runway length wise... taking out 3 or 4 acks on the right or left side, then going back to finish it off.

That's the best method, for me, for small fields... and if you are careful you won't get touched in any plane. Of course, the faster you go- the more heading/angle adjustments you will have to do.. I like to come in around 350MPH.

I believe the 20mm will open up first on you, then the 37mm.. but it might be the other way around. The max range for one of those is 8K.. or maybe both.. that's when they will start firing at you, but will be very inaccurate.

And the manned ack don't have tracers, they didn't anyway, so it's always best to get those if you don't see one of the ack implacements firing at you.

Was wondering about that, so those guns that I thought weren't firing for some reason really were. just aimed badly

the reason manned ack doesn't have tracers is that most people who use them turn tracers off. i'm not real good at manned guns yet so i keep the tracers on but not for long
