Getting AAA to fire

[RERomine]

Just out of curiosity, do planes that are engaged while making attack runs suffer suppression? If so, does such suppressian cause the aircraft to abort an attack or affect its ability to hit the target? Aside from placing AAA units and setting ranges, the whole air defense routine is under AI control.

I think they can cause suppresion but not that frequently in which case assume it does affect the attack. Never had one abort an attack though even if damaged on the way in it still completes its run

If aircraft on the run in get hit or encounter dense AAA it does affect their chances of sighting and hitting targets. Just as terrain, smoke and fire can really effect your targeting and results. As far as an actual abort goes, I don't recall this happening per say.
