Hi All,
Thanks much for the feedback.
Regarding what would be the difference between this and an M3? The answer to that this is not a GV, it doesn't represent a vehicle on the base, it represents the troops guarding the base and the multiple smaller caliber weapons that were fired at strafing aircraft in reality. It would address the minor anachronisms of a) not having small caliber AA defense, and b) having barracks and therefore troops who cannot engage in AA defense. This addition makes the barracks a part of the ground defense in a way that only the VH is at present.
I may be wrong here, but to my mind the VH spawning multiple flak vehicles to defend the base from low-flying aircraft is less historical than barracks spawning soldiers with rifle caliber weapons.
As for the Kill or No Kill issue, I'm not that bothered either way, it just seems to me though that if it isn't a fixed emplacement, but a player spawned item, and has an Icon, and can kill an enemy A/C it should have at least half the kill value of say a jeep. Plus it keeps the "you buys your ticket you takes your chances" element intact, rather than making it an entirely risk free item. But as I said, that doesn't seem like a critical issue to me.
