Default Has Anyone's Crew ever Shot Down an Aircraft ?

With us all enjoying and being frankly amazed by TDW's AI modding.... I was Just curious to ask about this?

I can occasionally down one when I man the guns myself... but never had my crew bag one.

Yes actually I have seen them shoot down a couple. I think I was using Wamphyri's plane mod at the time. You may try installing Wamphyri's plane mod, and then install TDW's AI over top of it, and see if that helps. Of course, my experience could have been a lucky fluke.

The 20 mm gunners aim too low. The other gunners (37mm?) aim correctly, according to the bug reports thread.

Since TDW fixed the planes attack/spawn rate in IRAI, I really enjoy to take up the fight with them. High speed zig-zag'in and shoting at planes = epic. Same as the surface hunt at night on a unarmed convoy with "extreme speed" on :P

Default I have Yet

To have my Crew Shoot down an attacking plane let alone one just flying by. What I usually do is go and take over the gunner position and do it myself to save damage.
