	Anti-aircraft warfare - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Various guns and cannon have been used in this role since the first military aircraft were used in World War I, growing in power and accuracy over the years.
		Starting in the post-World War II era the guns were joined by the guided missile, specifically the "surface-to-air missile", and today both are used in combination in most roles.
		Their high-altitude needs were originally going to be filled by a 75 mm gun from Krupp, designed in collaboration with their Swedish counterpart Bofors, but the specifications were later amended to require much higher performance.

	German Anti-aircraft Flak
		Light Flak typically consisted of heavy 12.7 mm machine guns and 20 mm towed cannons that could be set up quickly around troop and armoured groups for anti-aricraft protection.
		Flak was the nightmare of bomber crews as it wasn't predictable, you couldn't see it coming and if you swerved to avoid the bursts in front, you could just as easily fly into the next set of shells.
		The 37 mm medium Flak guns were served by 7 or 8 men and were towed behind a truck or the German version of a half-track.

		Flak was originally borrowed into English from the German initials of a compound word meaning 'pilot defence gun' in the Second World War, for an anti-aircraft gun and (by extension) anti-aircraft fire; by the late sixties it was being used figuratively to mean 'a barrage of criticism or abuse'.
		The sense under discussion here arose by shortening the compound flak-catcher to flak again, perhaps involving some confusion with the word flack, an established US term for a press agent which was allegedly coined quite independently by the entertainment paper Variety in the late thirties.
		The abbreviation to flak belongs to the late seventies in the US and the eighties in the UK.

	FileFront Forums - Flak Cannon?
		FLAK shells are fragmentation shells so they should be lethal to infantry and soft vehicles quitte a range around point of detonation.
		FlaK 88 shells were lethal to planes if they burst within 25m.....and they can still damage planes with shrapnel from 200m away.
		Either the aim is now different, the flak shells do less damage in terms of where they explode, or the range is screwy, but for some reason, using the exact same tactics, it's damn near impossible to hit with them now.

		For instance, consider Unreal Tournament's flak cannon weapon--which made skilled players virtually unstoppable at close ranges and midranges, thanks to its large blast radius--and the powerful explosive qualities of the weapon's alternate fire (an exploding ball of flak).
		UT 2003's flak cannon, as we noted in our earlier E3 impressions, has a slightly smaller blast radius, and the alternate-fire shot can actually be detonated prematurely if fired straight into the air.
		However, rather than bursting all over the place, the flak cannon's alternate-fire flak will actually bounce along the direction of the original shot, which lets smart players set up traps for their opponents with well-placed shots around corners.

		The flak is the best close range weapon in UT. With the primary fire mode you can use it shotgun-like in infights, doing up to 192 damage per hit or you can make use of the fact that the shrapnels reflect from walls to shoot around corners (Take care not to hit yourself).
		On impact there is an explosion inflicting 105h in it´s centre and spawning 5 flak shrapnels, therefore doing enough damage to kill a player with 100 armor.
		This is the weapon of choice for aggressive players, because you have to get very close in order to use the flak most effectively.

		The Flak takes a lot more skill than you think, its not our fault if you get killed by it all the time, or kill newbies with it, those who really know how to use the flak are rare, but I'm pretty sure theres quite a few of them out there.
		I think you might have missed the point of my post I never said the Flak Cannon was skill-less but rather trying to point out that IMO it was unbalanced and could use soem tweaking.
		I've played both Unreal and UT and I like both flak cannons, however, I think UT's is much better than Unreal, just becuz they made the rof faster.
