Hi!
Fliers were simplified in net epic 4.1, but I think AA need more work to make them fit in with the current flier rules. I would also like to make provisions for mobile AA versus static ones. Static ones should have a longer range, be more expensive and overall better AA. Mobile ones have smaller guns, but can "chase" aircraft around.
Another area for improvement no doubt.
Peter
