My flak gunners opened up after I pressed F6 a number of times (Dieter, as usual, was in, "not cooperative" mode), used the binocs and pressed the Space key to target. The flak gunners, by the way, are no where NEAR as competent as the deck gunners - shooting WAY low and missing everything by a mile!
BUT - the AI for the aircraft is just like the AI for shipping! While watching the B-Fighters wander back and forth, I witnessed a midair collision - with Fourth of July (US Holiday) fireworks - reminiscent of watching numerous ships collide with sea walls, exploding and bursting into flame...

Yeah, I can't really speak to this yet. I'm only half way through my third patrol. yeah, the planes are borked and DRM sucks but still I am enjoying the game a lot. Sure it's not SH3, but I still like it for the immersion and the graphics. only real comlpaint so far? too easy... (my last encounter was my fault entirely)
but - it
is FUN.
