Upgraded Flak?

Post by xBoroNx »

Is the upgraded Flak working properly? Currently it seems that it does not shoot at enemy aircraft attacking a city 2 hexes away though i have upgraded the flak to lvl 3. The Flak is currently sitting in a HQ though, so maybe that's causing it? Or am i simply somewhat blind as usual and did not find a setting or similiar to activate the Flak?

Hm they have only range 1. But the description text says they should have level 2, and the briefing only mentions that they get capped at range 2. At least they nontheless got a few of your planes, so they were not entirely worthless :)

Sounds like you are talking about the WAW scenario.  I capped all AA range to 1 hex.  Sorry for the confusion.

Yes we are talking about this scenario. Playing it for the first time now, so far i like it maybe even more than your europe 1939 scenario :).

May i edit the scenario somewhat and eventually publish it later? I am currently thinking of altering the victory event, the chinese and japanese victory conditions look to me a bit like they could end the game a bit too early, then i am thinking of putting all nations awake and giving them their historical production via modifiers instead, Usa would be a seperate country then and finally maybe trying to include more nation specific units.

One problem with the previous version that had usa seperate was that  was not being able to stack units together.. land units in brit controlled areas etc

Couldn't you let the usa join the Wallies once they are in war, so usually december 1941?

The US does merge with the West when they join the war.  Although, I stage it in 3 parts to correspond with US production increases.
