Actaully, every unit can fire at aircraft, with snap fire. I had an aircraft
killed by a bloodletter (or maybe I did it, I can't remember now,) that way!!!
It's really dumb. We figured 2 demons must have thrown the third up, who sliced
of a wing.

Flak was an amazingly effective anti infanty weapon, and the germans especially
used it as such. If any panzerblitz verterans are out there, they remeber the
Flak vs infantry bonuses in the game. That stupid hydra rule used to annoy the
crap out of us; it could hit a titan, but not a man. Just give us the extra
5degree inclination, you tech-priest bastards!!!!
