Aircraft AT fire

[Coniglius]

I can't speak for WW2, or even fixed wing aircraft for that fact, but I have an old friend who flew attach helicopters in Desert Storm, and he provided a unique insight. He flew Apaches (Gunships) armed with AT missiles as well as a chaingun. One day while we were talking about the ground war phase, he told me that most of the time spent in an attack run was lining up to actually conduct the run. He said that was when you were most vulnerable and once you committed to the run, your choice was to pull out OR brave the AA fire and make the run.
The point is, you have to be entirely focused on the run (and I'm really talking about strafing with the chaingun here, not the fire and forget AT missiles). So maybe there should be a modifier based on enemy AA that determines whether the attack goes in or not. IF the attacking aircraft passes a die roll to conduct an aerial AT attack, then the attack goes in unmolested. If not, then additional 'to hit' modifiers would apply. Just a thought...
