Flack exam

SH999 · 03-04-09, 02:29 PM

Guys, how to complete Flack training / exam? Things happen sooo fast in this mission. I prioritize, I select bombers, I select medium, I mark inbound, but no matter what the gunner shoots the planes swoop in from all directions too fast, first thing they damage the flack gun and then bomb out the boat.

I'm on GWX3.0/SH3Commander. Any recommendations?

Thanks,
SH999.

The Flak Exam in GWX is designed to ruin your day. On the other hand you don't have to complete it. You get the full 1500 renown from just doing the Navigation Exam.

Thanks, but I wonder why so?

Probably to teach you not to duke it out with the planes when on the surface!

But, if you do want to complete the task, try this.
Order flank speed, set rudder to port or starboard, let your boat circle around.
Order your Flak gunner to shoot at closing targets, short range.
Put as many men in the repair team as possible and make sure they repair the Flak gun first.
After the first waves of planes order fire at medium range, closing targets, and then any target.
You will lose some men but it is the price you have to pay for this exam.
