AAA in my airfield not present.

Hi guys, is there a way to put some AAA in my airfield? (i'm playing with Germans, starting from Lipovsky.

I think you will find anti-aircraft guns are generated when the enemy gets within XXXX meters of your airfield. At least that has been my experience.

AAA in PWCG is set on a spawn/deactivate loop because there is so much of it.  The AAA will spawn when enemies are near.

Are youy sure? Enemy aircraft chased me to my airport (they fired at me when i was trying to land!) but no friendy AAA shot to them (there was no friendly AAA in my airport). Maybe is there a settings in the campaign?

 

is the option "Keep AAA Spread?" (currently at 10000)

 

Thank you very much.

I have experimented the same thing of Wasicum.

It seemed to me that no AAA was at my airfield, during an enemy attack...

Last time I got a Scramble mission to defend the AA of incoming attackers I didnt have any AA aswell.... not really a problem that time since all attackers lawndarted

I'll look at it.

Same here, I'm now pretty sure that there is no AA on airfields. And, maybe it's related to my campaign lowered ground activity setting, but I don't remember getting any AA at all, after about 7 missions. (But no ground support seen at all neither).

Low ground activity will result in reduced AAA.  Don't have access to PWCGcode right now so I'm not 100% sure that low ground activity will eliminate airfield AAA, but there is a good chance that it does.

I got chased back to my airfield and was circling it in my damaged Spitfire, while a 190 continued to punch holes in it... absolutely no AA protection!

I have ground units at medium and I see heavier AAA all around the map but not at home plate. There I see only a couple of mg's. No 20mm or 37mm no 88mm either. Only mg34/42.

But you are seeing AAA on the airfield?  I can look into the types and quantity of AAA, but I want to fist make sure that it is really there.  When I check PWCG missions files I see it there.

Hoi Pat. Yes I do have AAA on airfield but only mg's. Nothing with oempf.

i had the same problem. I set airfield  MG to 1, but no MG spawed when i rushed to home base when got hopelessly outnumbered. tried with low and mid ground unit setting. setting airfield MG to 0 gave me one MG in a the last scrambel mission, but i never got some big guns that actually make a difference. i am on PWCG 5.0.2 at the moment. any ideas?
