Default Question about special abilities

If you have a commander whose ability is flak gun, is it the same as if the specific crew member had flak gun ability?

In other words, will normal crew member with flak gun commander shoot as good as flak gun crew member with not flak gun commander? Is there a difference? Because I had flak gun commander with normal crew member shooting and he was like missing every shot…

Also, thanks for all the answers on my previous post, I downloaded KC succesfully and it’s great!

I guess it is the same. You can check it on effectiveness meter of flak department. If it is full, then it is the best you can achieve anyway.


The chance for hit is affected also by distance to target so on long distance you can miss a lot.
I usually dont have time to count flak hits:

Okay, thanks for info! It is full so I think they just had a bad day… The bomber approached 3 times, he can’t be that strong in 1939 and nothing happened to him…

you are welcome


If it is full (max effectiveness ), then he should be ok.
You can also test firing flak on different ranges and bomber maneuvers to see what works best for you.
