Next time I'm stocking up big on AA assets. I think you will need more than just "stocking up Big". About an hour ago, I created a scenario on the North German map in the South East corner where there is a vast open space to put AA units to the test. I selected 20 AA units, Rapier, Javelin and blowpipe and manually selected a vast fleet of different aircraft and helicopters. Soon as an aircraft or helicopter appeared, it was mass volley fire at them and it was a rarity for one to be hit. I could not count how many missiles were fired in total, up to about 8 at a time just for one target, but only 4 helicopters were brought down overall. All aircraft just flew through the volley of missiles with impunity as if they was not there. Eventually, I'll alter the database if I ever feel a need for aircraft and helicopters in a scenario. Thanks, I don't feel so bad now that my Gepards appear not to be able to hit the side of a barn. Maybe I'll give the AA a miss then, and use the points elsewhere (although I have used a Vulcan against infantry, got to love the sound of a minigun!) Maybe we need some CMNAO type algorithims for the engagement of aircraft. Cheers
