Well that certainly did the trick. For the first time ever I saw a flak burst from the 3.7 (both AI and self manned).
Quite a pleasing effect really, first you see the tracer flying off and after a while a small flash and a puff of smoke. You have to zoom in on the gunsight to see it easily and use the AA ammo as Richardphat says.
Is it realistic though?? Somehow doubt it. From what I can I can gather, the ammo (unlike that used on the 88cm flak ) did not have air burst capability and caused damage only on impact.
Sure it self destructed...you couldn't have tons of live rounds that had missed their target, raining down on the population! However I can't believe you would see the explosive effect of what is really a glorified aircraft cannon shell, from 2 - 3 miles away - which was its range -depending on elevation.
Anyhow no matter. There are plenty worse inaccuracies in SH3. And it does look rather nice.
The real big bonus for me though in ramping up the graphics quality was in other areas: particularly the ship smoke. For quite some while this smoke had looked a bit thin and blocky. Looks tremendous now.
Thanks for starting the thread RP!!
