Emmy Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Will there be Flak Towers? Low-level dicing missions against those in WWII I've read were a stone cold b*tch of an assignment.

SoW Reddog Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 The map is big but not quite big enough to stretch to Berlin, Vienna or Hamburg... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD_Fenrir Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Will there be Flak Towers? Low-level dicing missions against those in WWII I've read were a stone cold b*tch of an assignment. As I understand it Flaktowers were more a feature of airfields (and other high value locations) in Germany itself; I do not recall much if any mention of these featuring in reports from ops over France - though I am quite happy to be proved wrong :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einherjer Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 That is a "Flakturm" . Heavy construction near big cities like hamburg, Berlin and also Vienna But normal fortified AAA emplacement can surely be found in the normandie Also the Würzburg Radar in Douvres-la-Délivrande But I think we will see them all as units, not as a fixed map feature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camembert Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Is that "Flakturm" still in Hamburg today? I was there a few years ago and remembered seeing such a building where the fairground is in summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is tree collisions with aircraft, it doesnt mean the LOS issues have been solved yet.

cichlidfan Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Do they now? I don't know about Nevada, that is why I am asking. How does a collision model work with one object and not another. The missile should have a collision model already.

ED Team NineLine Posted March 22, 2017 ED Team Share Posted March 22, 2017 (edited) I don't know about Nevada, that is why I am asking. How does a collision model work with one object and not another. The missile should have a collision model already. Objects are separated into many groups, I believe they can turn those groups on and off based on performance hit and objects they contact. This is how I understand it, I may not have it 100% correct.
