CAS and AAA support

[Tannethal]

Hi there,

 

asked out of curiosity is support for groundunits with mobile_aaa a new feature or did it work before.

 

Had now on two occasions spotted mobile AAA attached to a ground unit in camapign play, a modified RT in WoV.

First time way up north a bunch of VC infantry sitting lazily between airfield buildings while two ZSU-57 (stock) sat right on the runway. Second time spotted a group of US squads near Pleiku defending against a VC assault and saw two M42 Duster sit right behind them.

The groundunits are not placed on the terrain via targets.ini, that's for sure.

 

So anybody else saw tanks or troops at rest or in contact backed up with AAA?

 

S!

Just strafed an East German tank company, defending a termal generator, covered by shilkas, Gepard´s germany terrain

Yeah think it has been in WOI the whole time - and is now in WOE/WOV with the latest patches

It's been fairly heavy, especially in the Afghanistan terrain. Also was doing an anti-ship mission and got shot down. It's definitely becoming effective. Also if you get too low the BTR-60s take pot shots, and just as effective as AAA.

Yep. They're now part of CAS ground formations (Both red and blue) .

Yes, they form part of a truck convoy in WOV too. Got my a** shot off in a Sluf last night, while attacking some trucks, near Vinh, on an armed recce mission.
