AA Units

Post by Q-Ball »

Just cracking into this game, and a question comes up for me on AA units. Especially as Allies, what to do with them?

First, do AA units fire at ground targets? Like AFVs? I remember this question wasn't 100% clear in WITE, though most thought German Flak would fire at Russian tanks.

Do German Flak 88s fire at AFVs?

Do Allied 90mm, for example, also fire at AFVs?

Allies get a mountain of AA units, early-on that is handy as the Luftwaffe figures to be active, but as time passes I suspect those will look superfluous, just like RL. Are any of the Allied untis worthwhile attachments to Divisions? Maybe the SP AA Bns?

Thanks in advance!

I believe 88's will fire at AFV's, they did in war in the east.

for AA units as Allies, I attach them to Corps HQs and they will shoot at the Luftwaffe.
