Observations from the front...


Recommended Posts

Posted

Flying an American career in 1918 in the 27th Pursuit I have noted some things that will hopefully be addressed. The Allied AAA fire is brutal... It destroys an entire Flight of German aircraft before you can even reach the front. I've had Halberstadts disintegrate in my sights before I can even get a shot off... LOL! On the other hand, the German AAA fire is almost nonexistent. There are no guns to protect balloons at all and they are simple and easy targets. Hope this helps...

I've been testing the new career mode and I can say that the only death I've suffered to date was, in fact, at the mercy of German AAA. Problem is ... I was flying for the German Jasta 7 at the time! ? That's another issue the game needs badly ... STOP FIRING ON E.A. WHEN BEING PURSUED BY FREINDLY AIRCRAFT!!!

Yep... Happened to me too! ? I was just reading an account "Echo of Eagles" that this situation is somewhat based on reality, the pilot said that the British fired at all aircraft above them. ?

I've always thought that you're in more danger over friendly AAA than your bandit is. 

It has a tendancy to lag shoot, so on the bandits 6 isn't always the best place to be !

I flew a Jasta 6 mission intercepting ground attackers. The German flak was that close I thought my plane would go down from friendly fire. Not too friendly on that flight!

What you describe is partly related to another problem between AI and AAA:
