3) What were the other factors? Type of aircraft (its speed and EW values), range, visibility of the AAA units and general visibility on the map, other obstacles if any? There are a lot of factors that affect engagements.

I don't remember the type of aircraft, apart that I am pretty sure it was a F-16 variant.

The general visibility should be good. There wasn't much if any smoke on its flight path and no trees or higher ground in the LOS of the AAA guns towards the incoming plane. No trees, other units, buildings even near the guns for 7 or so hexes but even those that existed they were at a lower elevation since the AAA were on top of hills of 2 or 3 levels and the obstacles were on zero level ground.

I don't remember the EW rating of the plane but the specific AAA guns (I think they were the Artemis, with AA Radar F/C of 100, ranger finder 10 and EW 2).
The thing is, even if the EW is lower than of the plane, wouldn't the gun at least fire once?

When a vehicle is hit I get some numbers. What exactly do they mean? For example PEN 39, Arm 32 @54 degrees from a Leopard 1A5GR2 hitting but not killing a Type 59 tank.

It's fairly simple. PEN 39 means penetration 39cm, and Arm 32 means the thickness of the object being hit 32cm. @54 degrees, means hitting at 54 degrees.

When the PEN number is above the ARM value and doesn't result in a kill, it means that the round penetrated but did not destroy the vehicle or something similiar. Usually this also results in some system on vehicle being damaged.
