AA guns will not fire at targets if the game determines there is no chance of a hit and crew experience does factor into that as does the size and speed of the target. Andy pointed that out right away. If we allowed them to bang away up to their maximum range huge quantities of ammo would be wasted with zero chance of having any affect then we'd get complaints AA cannot hit anything when they fire

As for Chucks assertion that any AA gun should be able to fire at any aircraft regardless of how many others they have fired at consider if that "logic" was applied to any other unit in the game. Should an AT gun be able to fire at every tank that appears ? Putting a large quantity of tanks in the field also "swarms" the defences. The reason aircraft enter the map one at a time is becasue that's the way the game is set up to work but , like AT guns there are only so many targets a gun crew can engage in one "turn" and that's reflected in the number of shots it's given.

When this thread started were given very little real info. All AA guns are not the same in the game and "my AAA will not fire at a/c" when both Andy and I KNOW that AA guns WILL fire at AC ( and as "PanzerBob" pointed out "I've lost more aircraft to those cursed guns than any other" ) so this seemed to indicate that *perhaps* their might be an OOB error involved because each nation uses it's own weapons list and one might be wrong but we cannot possibly know that without information . The only way to know for sure is to get solid information as to nation, year, unit number if possible so that can be checked but also, ****ALWAYS****, a save game demonstrating the problem goes a long way to answering all those questions that crop up and reduce everyones frustration level
