FLAK
Most of the time flak either misses or puts pilots off their aim, but

Also note the flak opens fire at around 1500 metres, that's getting on for a mile which is pretty impressive, as it means flak can easily cover the whole of most CM battlefields..

MOBILE FLAK WILL FIRE WHILE MOVING

PIC 1 - Here a fleet of mixed mobile-flak vehicles is not moving, and they engage an enemy plane..

PIC 2 - Now I've given them a 'fast' order and they're all moving but they still engage incoming aircraft..

PS - If you want to see what aircraft type is attacking, one way is to pause the playback and hit key '1', then 'shift-A' to look up.(Other ways are to use the keys 5, 8, 9 views)

FLAK CAN HURT TANKS TOO

This test proves that a single German 20mm flak can immobilise a KV-1, force its crew to bail, and also damage a KV-1's gun.

1 - The flak immobilises the KV on only turn 1
2 - Confirms it really is a 20mm Flak
3 - After peppering the tank for more turns, the crew bail on turn 6
4 - In this separate test the 20mm Flak damages a KV's gun on turn 3
