There are some maps with non-working af aaa.
map PVP: [Operation] Smolensk. 1941.
Session: Sazae5400251089.
Thx for the information. I watched your replay:
Gaijin Entertainment - Single Sign On
…and saw enemy fighters strafing your last team mate with impunity.
As you specifically mentioned the 1941 version of this map (i play just the 1943 version) you might be not really surprised that this issue is also present in the 1943 version - but there is just one af aaa not working - the af aaa on the other side works perfect.
The non-working af aaa is based on the main airfield next to the town Katyn at Grid D 2 - whilst the af aaa on the other side of the map is at Grid C 5. As from my pov the map 1941 and 1943 version look almost identical the af aaa at Grid C 5 might work on the 1941 version too.
If you are annoyed by this fact, it would be great to add this map into this list of maps with basic design flaws. Please use the post about the same problem on the Poland map as a template:
Unbalanced Maps in Air RB - Feedback thread
You might also consider to create a bug report.
Have in mind the gaijin somehow manages to ignore most of these reports. You can use this bug report as a example - gaijin ignored for 18 months a similar issue; i closed the report as the bugged af aaa was removed from forward airfields.
Edit:
I created a bug report for the map:
Community Bug Reporting System
So you just have to think about adding your case to the aforementioned list of flawed maps…
