Cdre Gibs,
You can have credit for solving the laser AA
NYGM reduced the accuracy of the AA and did so by not using your 'findings'. I tested your changes before I addressed the Laser Guided Aiming System my own way and I am yet to be convinced that your changes achieved anything. Now that you have suggested it, I presume that your changes would amplify the NYGM changes and possible make for a better AA.
NYGM claim "The AA gun no longer has a Laser Guided Aiming System". I am claiming that the NYGM AA has been modified to reduce the accuracy. I stand by that claim.
The NYGM Aircraft Damage Mod has several aspects to it.
1. AA accuracy has been decreased
2. Armour/Bullet aligned to AP formula
So, the NYGM AA is not laser accurate, but it can hit the side of a barn. It can and does miss. I feel that the accuracy is fairly accurate, as the issue for the U-boats was that the planes were armoured.
Could the accuracy be less, possibly, can I do so without using your suggested changes, yes. We need more end user feedback.
Let me say it one more time, NYGM reduced the accuracy of the AA and did so by not using your 'findings.
So in addition to changing the values of the armour and bullets in line with the AP (Armour Piercing) formular and nulling faulty damage zones the NYGM reduced the accuracy of the AA.
I will aslo say, the same value changed for the NYGM Aircraft Damage Mod was changed for the Deck Gun.
