Spring RTS Engine

Scince the AA-turrets now can fire at ground-units (not sure if this is a good thing) I was wondering if the AA-units in the game have some sort of higher target priority for airplanes? Because if they dont, they should.

Came to think of this when I leveled a base with a bunch of kroggies yesterday. The enemy aa-turrets started shooting at my ground units. If I would have then made a bombing run with all the AA-turrets busy with my ground units, the bombers wouln't have had any opposition.

Sure, this could be a smart move to distract AA-s with cheap lvl1 units, bombing everything back to the stoneage with airplanes. But IMO AA-s has to have main focus on the skies, since that was what you built them for in the first place, regardless of what's going on on the ground.

Any thoughts?

They already do, and did in TA. Flak has aircraft as priority targets. The reason it fires on land units now is that the toairweapon tag isn't yet correctly implemented, and the minbarrelangle tag doesn't work at all.

???! that tag works more than perfect for me!

Actually, in XTA flakkers are able to fire at ground units, Spring or not.

I don't play XTA.

They did it in WWII...
I think its an option to consider.
