Flak Mechanics Changes

• We now remove the flak projectile when it bursts near an enemy aircraft. Previously the projectile was allowed a chance to continue and strike the aircraft directly, which would deal additional damage (burst damage + direct hit damage). We have increased burst damage to compensate for the loss of direct hit damage. This should result in an overall increase to flak damage and make it more consistent

Skyguard

• Flak burst damage increased by 20%
• Direct hit damage against infantry and other targets increased
• Turret movement is now slightly smoother

Phalanx AA

• Flak burst damage increased by 14%
• Turret movement is now slightly smoother

MAX Burster

• Flak burst damage increased by 6%
• Burster projectile adjusted to more reliably hit infantry that are in close range
• Direct hits with the MAX Burster can no longer damage the heavy armor of tanks, Sunderers and Phalanx Turrets
