Once again I go and bomb a Rumanian brigade and bombers that came from the north, no aa joined. I had bombers come in from the south and BAM all kinds of flak as I flew over the PZ corps to get to the Rumanian brigade. the PZ Corps is 6-12 hexes from the place I bombed. pretty much all the units around the hex bombed are brigades so it had to be AA fire from the PZ corps as I flew over it unless Dinglir has 72 88mm, 32 37mm, 4 sdkfz, 42 37mm, and 48 75mm in his HQ sitting 2 hexes behind it but I doubt it since I have been bombing this area and only low caliber AA has been joining in until I flew over the damn PZ corps. I will post pictures later.

Let me know the hex you are talking about and I'll look it up when I get the turn.

The flight path does matter in AA fire as far as I know. This is another one of those "things" in the WITE air war, as you can not set flight path, except by chosing staging base. I look very much forward to WitE2 i nthis regard.

Yeah, I was saying in the past it does. After just having it happen a couple of more times in this game it defiantly does contribute along flight paths. I will give you the Rumanian location when I finish the turn. But that won't be for a few days since I just got put on an emergency job until Friday so my time is limited for the game at the moment.

To keep the conversation alive, any near term patch would be welcome if it included more granularity on the setting for flying distance from airbase. Let us put a number in a box rather than < 20, <40 etc.

No near term patch. MIFID2 trumps all. After that comes multiple illnesses (all at once). WitE is now on a distant 3rd place. Let's hope 2018 will be better than the last two months of 2017.
