Default Re: Bug? AAA fire from emplacements

The Italian AAA gun emplacements units 578 and 573 fires only when the spotter is within about 300m.
I noticed the USMC unit is a fortification class and the Italian AA is in Bunker class. So I put Italians in Fortification but that didnt seem to make a difference.
So maybe someone who knows what they are doing can make the Japanese and Italian AAA emplacements the same as the Marines emplacement so they can shoot at planes like all the other AAA?
I hope you set the morale, experience, art command, fire control, range finder, weapon range, etc and (possibly) those of the aircraft to the same, and used same size aircraft before running "tests" as ALL these will affect sighting/firing ranges.

There is a HUGE difference in how the game handles bunkers (they specifically won't fire unless stuff is close) and other stuff. Remember, too, they won't fire if they have no chance to hit/hurt the target.

Buy proper dedicated AA and dig it in (almost always better than bunkers/fortifications, IMO - in fact that's probably true of inf and AT guns too!).
