Default Re: Opportunity fire with AAA

I have noticed (presumably hidden) AA guns popping off opfires at things you might not have expected, and it has been at the back of my mind to investigate some day. It's rare though.

Likely there is a wee bit of code dealing with just class 4 weapons that leads to them doing the squiffy thing and ignoring filters etc. for random ground targets. I'll have a look at it at some point, but more focussed on my recently broken shoulder ATM, so it may be some time!

In any case - they will opfire at stuff if they are currently spotted, just like other units will do, when no filters are set. If your AA were spotted and/or have shot at then they will be more "weapons free" than if they think they are hidden. Being shot at changes filtering (or the simply Y key range) to the firer's range+1 so as to allow return fire.
