I can't comment on whether or not I think it's over-powerful or not. A lot of these sorts of things are subject to tremendous uncertainty. In general, I've been pleased. Surprise seems to count for a lot in Command. The "one pass and haul ass" tactic is usually the best way to attack something. If I'm going to do the kinds of low and medium altitude attacks you're describing, I'd suggest doing it as fast as possible to limit the window of engagement opportunities for the enemy. Also, there's a lot to be said for flying around the AAA. If at all possible avoid enemy defenses rather than flying through them. Ideally, the only thing you have to confront directly is the AAA protecting the target. The rest is usually avoidable. quote:
ORIGINAL: zclark I’m running a Vietnam era scenario and I’ve noticed my tactical aircraft are being decimated during low level attack runs on targets surrounded by medium to large caliber NVA AAA. I recognize AAA was the leading cause of most US aircraft losses during the war, but attrition levels of 20% or greater per strike group seems a bit high to me. What do all of you think of the CMANO AAA lethality? Realistic or a bit too overpowered?
