I haven't been hurt by FLAK yet. Of course, I've only played the demo and only had a light pepering of flak in the second mission.

The flak batteries arn't the most accurate in the game but I have been hit once or twice. Last night flying the P51D in external view I got clipped on the left wing and the musting banked sharply. Pretty sure the flak caused it but it may have been the twitchy flight model

i am yet to be struck by flak.

Personally i think its just a decoration

I asked this question to Anton and his reply was "It is a major part of campaign" and could hurt you but I have not been hurt by it either.

Not in Arcade mode, but I have been shot down by AAA (or FLAK if you prefer the german term) ONCE. It was on realistic setting in one of the Korsun-Cherkassy missions. Direct hit - WHAM! Blew me and my plane to pieces...

Good to know.

I had my entire right wing blown off last night in one of the Sicily missions. Needless to say, I was very suprised. It was cool though.

First time I played it in the demo on simulator, I was hit by flak and it killed by engine only a couple hundred meters above the ground, so I died.

BTW, I changed the thread title to "FLAK", which is the correct term.

I was on Training and Had the german H11 i Flew over the Flak gunners As slow as i could. Not one done any damage, It was on realistic.

Its like this is every WW2 game ive played :(

mattd27 09-12-2009 07:18 PM

It always lands right under me, so it's like a narrow escape. Never been hit for real though!

As for all WWII games, bf1943 has deadly Flack fire, but maybe that's because the players can control it?

skullblits 09-12-2009 07:19 PM

Well yea lol AI Suck

Danny M NL 09-12-2009 07:47 PM

been hit several times and died only two times by flak..

I've been hit by flak in the demo. I was flying over some flak guns, and BAM my wing gets torn completely off!! Awsome :cool:

Swagger7 09-12-2009 11:07 PM

I've received minor damage. The thing to remember is that FLAK was never that accurate, especially against a maneuvering fighter, so don't think it's any less realistic if you don't get hit.

skullblits 09-12-2009 11:16 PM

Even tho i had the 2nd biggest bomber & was flying low and slow :(
