How does AA fire against Flights and Flight attacks on Ships ACTUALLY work?

[Christian Sorensen]

Fighter attack rolls are not modified.  Not by range, not by beam, not by target speed, not by torpedo.  I know that doesn’t realistically represent tactics such as torpdos going for the beam, and dive bombers flying down the length of the ship.

Thanks, for whatever its worth perhaps the designers simply figured that the aircraft would always be using the “best approach” for their final attack and that given the game scale, trying to model that on the board wouldn’t make sense.

The real concern with the Evade! order of course isn’t whether it hurts the evading ship’s AA, its whether it works against aircraft, period!!

How did you folks play that?

Thanks, Christian

Yes, evasive works against aircraft.  Fighters still roll to hit, so they can reroll.

I don’t think we ever got confirmation about Kamikaze, but we just played that Evasive cancels the Kamikaze reroll.
