Good data and info folks !

And while I agree in-game a hit, any hit, will keep an aircraft from returning for another pass (assuming it has any ordnance left after the first and is coded to do so) the game engine apparently can't abort an attack run so unless an aircraft is actually shot down any damage done to them is pretty much irrelevant.

Probably a case of "not much can be done due to limitations in the game engine" but unless you've got a Russian style TO where every platoon has a MANPAD it does make them pretty much of a waste of points (and they tend to be very expensive units).

I'll try your suggested values PlasmaKrab, it surely can't hurt *chuckles*

As far as your data from A-Stan Mark . . . looks like the missiles may be right on the money, 1 in 80 that actually hit seems to be about the kill ratio I've noticed *laughs*
