I have looked at the OOBs (sorry Don, I know I shouldn't do it) and one thing about the AA Radar values (FC >= 100) confuses me. In the Mobhack guide it says:
Quote:
FIRE CONTROL
- Fire Contol of 100+ is radar
- Note that FC101 is FC 1 with Radar, but can track planes through smoke and darkness.

Which indicates that FC100 would be FC0 with the ability to see aircraft through smoke and darkness. That makes little sense, since AA radars are
always coupled with an electromechanical (before the 1950s) or electronic computer, which are usually better at calculating firing solutions than any local (mounted on the gun) predictor sight. That would indicate that AA guns with radar should have FC values starting from somewhere around 105 and going much higher than local control AA guns. However, that is not the case, but instead there are a lot of radar AA guns which have FC100 and many others have relatively low values.
For example: in the German OOB the M42 Duster (unit 087) has an FC value of 10, but the original Gepard (unit 088) has 100 and even the Gepard A1 (unit 089) has only 105.
Have I understood something wrong?
