I was mostly shocked how fast a Betty bomber can knock you out of the sky with it's 20 mm cannon. I always thought this was considered easy prey.

Obviously the way ai gunners shoot is simplified but I guess it encourages evasive measures.

And concerning the gun cam films of german planes firing from the six o clock of an enemy bomber, I think the grim truth is that the tail gunner had been knocked out. There is a famous guncamera sequence where the fighter goes in really close and the gunner doesn't react...I'm almost certain he was dead.

Same problem here. The flack reacts to your flying.

"Never ever fly in a straight line for too long while in combat area".

You don't understand me I never flight in a straight line to firing AA. This is OK when AA can shot aircraft when somebody flying like that.

I was thinking about heavy AA (flaks). In real, when some group of bombers (12 for example) were flying in flak's fire, there were hundreds of "black clouds" (english name for this please...) on the sky. And not every bomber was destroy or heavy damaged. In game when I put just six flaks... most of the bombers will be destroy or heavy damage. You know... now we can't make real heavy flaks fire

That was done to allow reasonable frame-rates. You also need to factor in altitude (Try it at 15000 metres).

I have actually found most of the bombers very vulnerable if you actually take the time to set up your run (and don't fly straight into the tail-gunners bullets - after he starts firing). I can easily take down two heavies (eg. B-17) and damage one in a Mig-3ud...

To add a bit more, each AAA gun is supposed to represent an entire battery of guns. (6 guns) If you're putting down six guns, then you really have 36 down there firing up at you. It was to keep FPS resonable. A lot of people don't relize this when they make maps and the AAA is past retarded.

Six flaks in one - I didn't realise that
