He lists ceiling but I don't know if it was absolute or effective. I looked the AA up in my handy 'Fleets of World War 2' by Richard Worth.

I wonder if, when talking about the British at Singapore not being able to shoot that high, they were talking about 40mm and lower AA. Even the 5'/25 has a ceiling of about 27000 ft. I did check NavWeaps, the 5'/38 had a ceiling of just shy of 37000 ft, so no worries there. That's the thing though, I think that against land area targets, they would fly higher. It would also give Dutch players a reason to be more selective with their targets, in much the same way that as a destroyer captain you are far more likely to get big torp hits on a North Carolina than you are on a Bismarck, since the Bismarck can run hydro. I tend to disagree, from a balance standpoint allowing ships with good AA to mitigate or destroy a flight of these bombers would add a level of strategy and tactics, as well as giving people an excellent reason to build into AA, especially in American and British (and Dutch) cruisers and American BBs on the Vermont tree. I saw some parachutes in my screen (first indication I was under attack) and a second later I was sunk.

I don’t recall any 20 second warning, or other indicators I was under threat. That is a whole lot of time to manoeuvre to avoid the attack, unless you are a BB or supercruiser sitting still or moving slowly, in which case you're getting the same deserved result as a broadside cruiser eating a BB AP salvo, for the same reasons. You get 20 seconds from them spawning to the bombs hitting. This would make the ability pretty pointless, hence they spawn only a few kms from the ship. If they were forced to fly through the flak zone of AA, then on most large targets at high tiers, none of the planes would make it through as they ate every flak burst. Now airstrike planes are AI controlled, and fly in a straight line from their spawn point to their target. If they stuff it up and hit the flak, it hits like an absolute truck and will destroy a squadron pretty quickly. If that means you don’t get hit, well, clearly you AA spec’d and that worked out for you.įlak is designed to be a skill check for CV players, where they can minimise the damage taken from it, by manoeuvering and adjusting their speed. You should have the time to be able to bring your AA to bear to mitigate the strike. I tend to agree that one of the changes that needs to be made if WG really wants this mechanic in the game is an increased spawn radius, 7 - 8 km.
