well, I've been trying for ages now, but no matter how low I set the flack, it blows the hell outta my 3 B17G's before they get anywhere near past it. I set the skill and aggression sliders to min, but still, this 1 flack unit is completely destroying all 3 B17's at 18000ft... this can't be right

Do you have the flak set direcly on the target? It is less acurate at shooting at angles. Plus, more than two flak units in a group is really, really, bad. Setting flak up next to mountains is also a good way to sim off screen flak - it can't shoot through a mountain. If you have the gumption, you might also want to toy with the 37aa.sm file and lessen the warhead explosive. Just a thought.

I have a single 37mm flack unit (skill and aggression as low as they go) set at El thingy airbase, 3 bombers are attempting to fly past to the north of this at 18000ft, and get wipped out pretty damn quick. I really have considered lessoning the wareheads of the 37mm and the flck panzer, but I was trying to make some neat online missions, and this flck that I realy do want, well.. it's deadly!

I think 3 Flak at this point is over kill. Think about it this way. One flak is still very effective. AND you save on FPS.

I keep forgetting that the B-17 in PP5.3 has the same obHits as the P-51. Never mind... .
