Hi all,
As promised here are test results against transport when there are Japanese AAA units present - everything else is same as in previous tests (see below for more details and cross-check with similar test in this same thread when no AAA was present)!
Description:
I created brand new custom scenario for this testing.
There are only 3 islands present: Marcus Island, Wake Island and Midway. Marcus Island is IJN base while Midway is USN base. For this test Wake Island is made Japanese base with both Port and Airbase (and SPS) of 6.
There are 7 Japanese LCU's (1x 2nd Fleet HQ, 2x Heavy AA Bn and 4x AA Rgt) at Wake Island together with ships in port.
Weather is always clear.
FoW is OFF.
Two B-29's groups have their default leaders (50's/60's ratings) while their EXP and morale is set to 70.
The B-29's have to fly 14 HEXes from Midway to Wake Island.
The B-29's attack from 10000ft.
In Japanese held port there are 10x AO, 10x TK and 30x AP ships (all sizes and shapes).
5 consecutive runs of scenario in day (i.e. daytime bombings):

Discussion:
I see no less hits than when no Japanese AAA was present (see my previous tests in this same thread for more info).
The only "strange" result was 4th daytime run where there were destroyed B-29's (in no other test run there were destroyed B-29's).
Note that Japanese AAA units consist of:
Heavy AA Bn (2 units used):
105mm AA Gun x18
13 mm AAMG (2) x 6
Heavy AA Rgt (4 units used):
105mm AA Gun x12
75mm AA Gun x12
13 mm AAMG (2) x 8
Thus there were (in total):
105mm AA Gun x84
75mm AA Gun x48
13 mm AAMG (2) x44
Also note that that there were _NO_ 20mm AA Gun in OOB because only IJN AAA units have it and there are no separate IJN AA units in OOB - therefore I had to use the IJA AAA units (although the height at which bombers attacked = 10000 ft would be too high for 25mm anyways)...
