In AH1 when you killed an ack, it would show a scorched spot.
In AH2 it doesn't. I can't tell what ack are dead on any field.
Can we get the scorch spots into AH2 ?

and buildings showed up partially destroyed, would be a nice touch to get back.

BTW, anyone else finding it extremely hard to kill ack now? with a p47 and 8 50 cal, I use alot of ammo before i can destroy it. with a 109 I used all my ammo on the same one and never destroyed it.

killing ack in AH2 is as easy as in AH1, but this time you have to get closer

Strafing AA in AH2 seems much harder. In AH1 any hit in the gun pit area would cause damage, whereas now you have to hit the gun itself. This isn't a bad thing IMO, makes it far harder for a couple of fighters to take down a field's AA by strafing and then vulch it. Rockets are very effective but you need to get close to see which AAs are up.

The only thing that really irritates me about light AA now is how gunners get to land their kills when their AA gun is taken out. If their AA gets destroyed they should die and if their ship is sunk with the gunner's AA position still intact they should get either a ditch or a capture. No landed kills in either case. Gunning ought to carry the same risks as flying or driving.
