Hi: My Campaign is at Nov 3/15 and I have flown a fair number of missions. RNAS1 Nieuport 10.
I haven't yet seen any anti-aircraft bursts. Just wondering if that's normal ? or could I have something turned off in the settings ? I did see a bit of Mg fire around a balloon.

If you really want to experience the full joy of archie, then look in the mod section for OldHat's mod adding additional archie based on the year. Really good mod and you'll have all of the archie you can stand. biggrin

And of course as soon as I post this I see Archie !
Hey, maybe I should post a big long aircraft wish list smile

Thanks for the advice Banjoman. Might take a look at it once I play through the stock campaign.

1915 is pretty early to see lot of archie. the longer the war goes, the more archie you will see. Try 1918 and you will know what I mean. Also they are more concentrated at potential targets.

You can also increase in Workshops Ground gun accuracy/Rate of fire. Set it to "Hard".

There's plenty of Archie in there, as Creaghorn says try later years it increases and gets more deadly too.
1915 is quiet..

Dunno either... I've updated them for UE compatability. Best used with Normal Ground Fire setting in workshop unless you have a death wish and don't like your pilots to survive, then use Hard.

QC flight during March 1917.

Stock UE - Hard Setting




Light Archie MOD



Heavy Archie MOD



Download here.

Also, I have a MOD for Archie over the Front during Major Battles. Download it here.

EDIT: JSGME compatible. Extract into its MOD folder and activate.

Thanks Guys. Figured it may be tied to time period.
Wasn't really that I wanted more Archie, just wanted to ensure I didn't have a glitch.
Up to the time I posted I hadn't seen a single burst - guess I was just in the right place at the right time or something like that smile
