OK, ground attack is known to be a sporty proposition but, if the gunners really were as accurate as the Japanese are in CFS2, real casualty rates would have been a heck of a lot higher than they were.       Is there any way to reduce the effectiveness of the AAA?     I'm getting fed up with being shredded.

also the stock damage effects are quite large, even the 25mm has an effect like a german "88" I ended up changing the .dp myself, the flak effects arent as large but when they do hit ya, you feel it

Guys there is a fix right here that reduces the damage hole sizes of the AAA. There is also  AF AA Package 2 in Sim-outhouse that make the AA more realistic. If you are talking about Ships just keep them as rockies and they will bee less effective.

The best way to avoid been hit is not to fly in a straight line and keep weaving ever so slightly. I believe its bit more accurate than most other Sims. In most other sims AAA are for decoration purpose only. They rarely shoot you down.

Here is the small hole available right here:http://www.simviation.com/cfs2misc1.htm

Just a smal hint.

RAFAIR100 their are two upgrades that may help you.

Here is one its call roll damage Fix:http://www.netwings.org/library/Microsoft%5FCFS2/Misc/index-2.html

The other is call Flank fix:http://www.sim-outhouse.com/index.php?lloc=downloads&loc=downloads&FileType=cfs2...

I do not know if its available some where else.
You have be a member of Sim-outhouse to be able to down load it.

Its one of the best Webs site in our hooby but they only allow members to down load.

Unfortunualy for us and our hooby in General.

Falcon have you tried the roll fix upgrade. Maybe that will help. As for the Zero been hit. I find that realistic. Its nice to see the AAA some times to make mistakes. Its call being hit by friendly fire.

You know what guys. What really bothers me is how accurate the Bomber gunners are in this game and in most other sims.

Some misions are impossible to shoot down a Bomber with out getting hit and shot to pieces.

Is it me or those it bother you guys as well.

More than justification for high-sided attacks then, I would have thought...

Read the account of Butch O'Hare's exploits with the 8 Bettys attacking his carrier group in 1942 - he destroyed or seriously damaged 5 of them pretty much single-handedly using classic high-sided attack tactics. In a Wildcat!

I strongly recommend The First Team: Pacific Naval Combat from Pearl Harbour to Midway for more on this and many other aspects of the airwar in the PTO.

Padser you can do the same with the Bomber as with Ships. Its the only simple solution that I find that remedies this problem some what.

The other is to go in the DP folder inside the planes main folder and change the Guns coordinates number. Thats for Falcon or others who know more how to mingle with this things.
