Well, old man, tell me how you did it? I noticed when you keep shooting at them they dont drop bombs, but when I try to dive they feel safe and do it (again!)

Anyhow, shoot a lot on those buggers, but no flames!

Yes is better dive. this bastards don´t worry about your flak gun.

i flyed in IL-2 sim and i know that is possible attack despite AA fire, receive some damage, and survive to return.

is possible shot down planes in GWX , you can try for example in academy mission, but be careful, they attack your boat with machine gun fire..

they killed a AA gunner in the training

Correct..in Il2, opposite rudder while turning in always confused the flak.
If you come sliding in towards them, they have a hard time hitting.
But that's human plane vs. AI-flak.
In SH3, if you really NEED to fight with your flak, I think it's best to mann the guns yourself.
Humans have always the edge vs. AI.

The IL-2 doesn't count... that Sturm' felt like a concrete bunker most of the time I was flying (sim-flying?) it. Bounce through a brick wall kind of strong. I'd have no problem facing down a single flak gun, in that. Letting off with Sturm's cannons might help out with that confidence, too.

I can't seem to hit the broad side of a barn with the flak, myself. Can't seem to get a good grip on the target's distance (lack of depth perception, maybe?). As bad as the AI might be, I'm worse.

I don't know how I managed to confuse the Mosquito with the Anson. What's the link to that high resolution dll file again?

(JK... I can use the search function, and I need to upgrade first...)

I just completed my 1st career in GWX and I have shot quite a few planes down including the Mosquito's BUT i also got alot of my crew killed in the process,not including running out of ammo twice for my flack guns.

Counter move!

Doing my 1st carear from Penyang I had shot down 8 aircraft before I got sunk.

And FYI I was sunk by DD's.

And heres a interesting link.
