Limiting Losses to Air Attack

[RetLT]

Give them something else to shoot at.

Hide your MBTs and have your trucks and cheap APCs move around in the open. Every LGB they soak up is one less fired at a high value unit.

Also set the range on your AAA to 1/2 to avoid wasting ammo at targets when there is a low hit chance.

How do you set the range on AAA units? I've found they always seem to shoot at their maximum range at aircraft targets, would love to have them hold their fire until the aircraft are close enough to have a decent chance to hit them.

Use the Y key or 3rd Icon from the top

I've set the range using the Y key, and also through the OP filter, but that only seems to affect AAA units firing on ground units, not air units. Do you know for sure that it affects firing ranges on air units? Is it in the manual?

Thanks,

I have done it and it works. No use having ZSUs or Vulcans waste ammo on long range shots.

Just remember that if you later fire at a helo or other target beyond this range it resets to the longer range.

Manual? We don't need no stinking manual!

Thanks for the info, I will have to test it and see what happens. It may be I was just assuming, since the OP filter has no AAA setting.
