A. The nightwings only go once. And remember that
each aircraft must direct all of its attack dice at a single
enemy aircraft.

From JML's mirror site (couldn't get thru to Allen's
host):
Q: The rules state that Flak units may roll 1 die for each of their
points of Firepower when firing at fliers, and score a hit if they roll
equal to the flyer's armour or more. The Eldar Fire Prism, however, has
one anti-tank shot rather than a Fire-Power rating. While it certainly
rolls one die when shooting at flyers, players are unsure if it should
score a hit if it rolls 4 or above (as Anti-Tank) or if it scores armour
value or above (as 1 Super Heavy Weapon = 1 FirePower). Which is the
case?
A: The Fire Prism hits on a 4+
