ORIGINAL: Gaspote I found out that it's due to beta patch Comparing beta and stock game result, flak is far more effective in beta than stock. Using 36 Ki45a and 36 ki45b, with mixed pilots (80 to 45) in 1942. In beta patch, I lost 50 from flak and 20 from ops loss in 2 week, destroying 13 planes on the ground on about 58(8 catalina, 28 P39, 16P40E, 6 beaufort). In stock, I lost 28 from flak and 14 from ops loss in 2 week, destroying 29 planes on the ground. I didn't try to get the best result, I just leave them in airfield attack(100ft) and spam next turn but I show what I wanted to see. In stock, these result are balanced and seems good but in beta, it's really disappointing. From the beta notes : 26/04/2013: 1123j - Flak calculation incorrect for land units I think I should ask michaelm about this perhaps he change it for a good reason No, you are wrong. That build change did not alter how flak operates. Alfred Actually flak is much stronger in the beta. It may not have changed with that build, but I'm not really adept enough at translating michaelm's wonderfully cryptic notes to know where it might have actually been altered. This test above is probably not enough of a sample to prove the point, but it's generally known among those who've been playing the betas that flak is more effective now than in the official patch. This is a good thing though. It's brought it closer to the Babes model of flak, and it's effectiveness is supported by the evidence of its use in the war. Strafing doesn't and won't work very well in this game, period. Flak is working better for both sides, though.
