Antiair units

We assume low-flying aircraft (1km), so only low and medium-caliber AA guns are relevant in my opinion.

AA guns have the same ranges as aircraft (0-3, 4-5, 6-8)
20 mm CA mle 1938
AA 8/6/3
AntiSoldier 8/8/6
Antitank 3/3/2

Bofors 40 mm
AA 8/9/4
AntiSoldier 7/9/7
Antitank 5/5/4

20mm Flak 30
AA 8/6/3
AntiSoldier 8/8/6
Antitank 3/3/2
Buzzkill

Quad 50 as well.

So, you are suggesting that the 88 will not have AA values?

Against fast, low flying attack planes, I would say yes "nada" AA value, against medium and high altitude bombers, that's a different matter.

So, how would a Bofors 40mm (6 AA dice at short range) be able to kill a Messerschmidt Bf 109 K4 (6 Defense) ? How would any AA be able to kill that Messerschmidt Bf 109 K4 ? I dont think they should be hit when dogfighting, but in case of ground attack those AA units should be able to do something.


Or will Fighters have a lower defense while Strafing, just like in War at Sea ?

( / Will any airplane have lower defense while attacking ground units (with Bombs, MG or Rockets) ? )

Correct observation. Units that attack ground troops get -1 defense (strafing, bombing, rockets). It's in the air rules.

I've increased the AA of the Bofors at range 0-3 to 7.

Yes, the 88 can't take part as antiair in an AAM battle.

Don't forget the Hotchkiss 25mm. it was the main AA for Franch and Romania.
72 were delivered to Romania befor ww2 started.-
