Changed stats for Land units' AA/AD

[JASGripen]

In order to get a bit more importance into the air war some slight modifications in favour for the aircrafts have been made. Visit this thread if you want to try it out:

http://hoi.coremod.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=11454#11454

The files are original 1.2 files, modded.

Please post any comments that you got about this here or at the C.O.R.E. forum. Bear in mind that these changes are just a part of the total overhaul that the air war will get, so it is not intended as a stand-alone mod, even if it works nicely enough as such a minimod.

Thanks for taking a look at the airwar. In my opinion it's the bit that needs tweaking most.

I will download it and test it, as soon as I'm finished with my first GC36 with 1.2.
I need something to compare with...

Nice to read that, any comments are appreciated! The biggest modifications are made in the air tech tree and doctrines though. The idea is that if you ignore the air war, then you are toast. One should at least try to keep a fighter/interceptor air force that is up-to-date

The mods you download here will make a slight difference - a positive one I hope, but it will not work wonders.

The problem is in the weakness of Airplanes when they attack the big ass stack who has no AA defence whatsoever,however they still get destroyed big time.

Yes, that is actually the issue that this tweaks takes care of. Please go ahead and see if this tweak makes the game more fitting to your vision. The AA of all land units, except HQ:s, have been given a second look (maybe even a third stare). So if you want to hurt the aircrafts you need:

1) An own fighter umbrella (the fighters will be dealt with in C.O.R.E. but not with this tweak).

2) Stationary/Provincial AA, still heavy duty. These were often of bigger calibre (and also well emplaced and with good intelligence and communications) compared with n the AA that units carried. So they really punch the planes, not just deflect the occasional strafe.

3) AA-brigades. These units also got some bigger calibre guns, but they only protected their dedicated unit (division in HoI2).

But all in all, if you neglect the air war, you are going to pay dearer than you did before.
