Good idea
The flak map is showing relative effective range of known flak positions on a player's map. That would obviously be useful, but would need to be a "selectable" display option so mission creators could still make use of "fog of war" ... not every AAA position was known to the enemy, especially mobile units.

Going a bit deeper, it would be very useful to have all artillery (land and naval), as well as tank main-gun ranges show up (somehow?) within FMB. Perhaps as a range circle around the placed object. Can't tell you how many times I've tried to build an involved ground battle only to find most of my artillery was out of range (the inequality between land artillery range and naval artillery ranges has been discussed here recently).
