Right now it shoots at 1 and then a second round at 2. So far, the closest I've come, is to make the second round of AA fire at 1.

I don't see "maxRoundsAA". So, this unit should only participate in the first round. "attackAA" is 2, "attackAAmaxDieSides" is 6 and "maxAAattacks" is -1. 1 D6 @2 for each "targetsAA" unit attack the territory this unit is in for only 1 round. "isAAforCombatOnly", "isAAforBombingThisUnitOnly" and "isAAforFlyOverOnly" are all not set.

AA attacks may only use 1 dice per attaching unit up to the value of "maxAAattacks". Are you trying to use 2 dice for attacking unit? The "mayOverStackAA" will need to be set and another unit with a different "typeAA" stacked with it.
In "D-Day 2 PoC" each fighter can fire at each unit that enters its territory. To accomplish this I use 'invisible' FighterStacks.

<!-- These units have no icon/.png --> <!-- And are listed as 'dont_draw_units' in map.properties --> <variable name="FighterStacks"> <element name="FighterStack2"/> <element name="FighterStack3"/> <element name="FighterStack4"/> </variable> <variable name="FighterUnits"> <element name="$FighterStacks$"/> <element name="UK-Fighter"/> <element name="USA-Fighter"/> </variable>

Which are added to the fighter in the FighterUnits list, so all fighters use the same attachment.

<!-- Fighters --> <attachment foreach="$FighterUnits$" name="unitAttachment" attachTo="@FighterUnits@" javaClass="UnitAttachment" type="unitType"> <option name="movement" value="0"/> <option name="attack" value="1"/> <option name="defense" value="0"/> <option name="isSea" value="true"/> <option name="canEvade" value="false"/> <option name="isFirstStrike" value="false"/> <option name="canMoveThroughEnemies" value="true"/> <option name="canBeMovedThroughByEnemies" value="true"/> <option name="canNotTarget" value="Anti-Aircraft Artillery"/> <!-- Uses FighterUnits to create different typeAA values --> <option name="typeAA" value="@FighterUnits@_strafe"/> <option name="attackAA" value="1"/> <option name="maxAAattacks" value="-1"/> <option name="targetsAA" value="Infantry:Artillery:Armour"/> <option name="isAAforCombatOnly" value="true"/> <option name="isAAforFlyOverOnly" value="true"/> <option name="mayOverStackAA" value="true"/> <option name="unitPlacementRestrictions" value="$Territories$"/> </attachment>

After fighters are placed, FighterStacks are added to give the extra dice desired, and the player never sees these extra units.

Hope this is helpful.

Cheers...

@beelee So why does attackAA not work? Does that only work for combat and not SBR?

EDIT if you can't get the facility to shoot at 2, perhaps you could create a separate AA gun unit that is spawned when someone bombs the facility and shoots at the aircraft at 2

@TheDog

Hi Dog

Thanks for the reply. Yea that works for a combat unit but the strat bombing AA is separate from that and is defensive.

Actually, I'm pretty sure it can't be done. I kind of remember messing around with it years ago and coming to the same conclusion.

I will give it to @victoryfirst as a feature request

Hi I think you need something like this
<option name="offensiveAttackAA" value="2"/> <!-- sets the value the AA will attack at -->
<option name="attackAA" value="2"/> <!-- misnomer, this applies to defense -->
