Quite the opposite... russian AA gunners need at least a bottle Vodka at each attack to aim properly... Everybody knows that the proper dosage of Vodka doubles the number of attacking planes seen which enhances the chances to hit them... ^^ 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sargento_YO Players 1,423 posts 8,827 battles Report post #13 Posted March 18, 2020 I do remember a VERY old bug about spotter planes actually attacking enemy CV planes like a fighter plane did. Also in the WG fix log there was something along the lines that they scolded their pilots and they promised never do it again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well at least at the time, like first find the suitable guilty party (I mean) suspect, then a suitable crime and you are all set to go, 'justice' a la Soviet Union. Seriously speaking, a similar practice as in Byng's case was also practiced in Imperial Russia, as in the case of the battle of Tsushima. IIRC the commanding officers were first handed death sentences, later commuted to prison time. Could be wrong about the details but that's how it went roughly.

[BBMM] arcticstorm123 Players 267 posts 11,407 battles Report post #19 Posted March 20, 2020 I think this may be a bug in the end report, I have just watched the replay and there is no notification in chat at any time, also the line up on my side for this game was as follows (not exactly a spotter plane heavy line up): Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And mostly a single plane every time if you are allowed to share .. ? I think it is like this - you and an allied ship (which has fighters or spotters in the air), with the ally being somewhere in the long range (aka flak) of your aa. Now we throw in enemy planes. Your aa goes up and flak clouds damage both allied and enemy planes indiscriminately. At least that's my best working theory for that.

Flak doesn't render for friendlies and does no harm, as was tested by overlapping mine and Yoshanai TB squadron and then flying through flak. Fighters don't do damage as well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Either way, developers are already aware of it and will fix it soon™. There is no penalty or drawback from it. It just looks weird. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
