Switch AA

[janscas]

Please add an indicator if an Anti air unit can switch to an anti tank role.
I never know if the unit has the capability to switch and therefore attack me.

There is an indicator on the extreme right of their list of abilities and literally every AA unit has this ability. They can all do this, to varying degrees of effectiveness.

For the record this link discusses AA to AT switching, some people say it can be done, some say it can't-

All AA is switchable.
I have never seen the AI use it.

I have seen the Russian 85mm AA gun used against ground targets as a defensive mode.

More accurately - 1 person is saying it's not working. Everyone else says it does and is supported by the units file.

So in conclusion - you don't need a indicator of what AA can switch as they all can. I don't however think the AI knows how to as I've not seen them do so (they do however always fight if attacked!)

I definitely saw a French gun switch from an AA role to an AT one against my panzers in Breakthrough at Sedan. It had aerial targets in range but the panzers probably presented a greater threat, and it was quite unexpected!

Thats good to know - I like it when the AI can use the same tools as me. I'll admit that AA tends to be priority targets for me so they don't tend to last long, could be why I've not seen it yet!
