Hey, is it a bug or what? WHat should I think when I see:

0 soviet flaks firing
1 Bf109E/F hit by a flak

Well.. infantry could fire on aircraft from their rifles and machine guns. Is it an explanation? And why this message appears even when I know that there can not be neither flaks nor soldiers in an enemy unit(empty HQ for example)

I thought these random losses unrelated to real enemy action had been eliminated, but maybe not. I always thought of these losses (you would see them when flying a transport mission strictly behind your own lines also!) as being from flying near the front lines and having a plane hit there, maybe after it wandered off course. I didn't think they were still happening, but maybe they are.

Thanx a lot RickyB! It is almost the same reason I was thinking about. But in this case message '<plane> is hit by flak' is not quite correct. It should be something like '<plane> is hit' then.
