German 88mm AT gun usage in game

RE: German 88mm AT gun usage in game
I have always found it a little strange that all AA is considered equal against aircraft, and I suspect that's purely a simplicity decision.  To have a whole subsystem of different ranges for different weapons which would have to change against types of planes and be annotated every time a new weapon is released is probably not the intent of the system.  I mean, look at Korea.  If a B-29 comes over, a light AA gun shouldn't bother it at all.  If its in WW2 Europe, can an 88 really do much against fighter bombers coming in low? 

The same might be the ultimate answer to the indirect fire question.  Choices had to be made without "ASL-ing" the game.  As was mentioned above, its either direct/AT or indirect/AT.  Direct puts it on a different fire table, perhaps making it too effective (although I suppose one could play with factors, which leads to debates about "why is an 88 only 1/4 as effective as a 150" or whatever) or basically saying "anything that isn't an Infantry Gun gets bombardment factors, and gets to fire indirect, whether or not its totally accurate.
