I'd noticed it before. I think that this happens when rear gunners shoot down fighters / float planes, as the award reads "using fighters" or "AA armament", but am not sure.

Doesn't the achievement specify that the planes need to be manually targeted? Wouldn't that rule out rear-gunners?

Well the i know that you have to manually target to get the award so the rear gunner thing is a good question

Isn't that what I said in the OP?

 

I don't see why they shouldn't be included. They are still your units shooting down enemy units.

 

BBs get their damage counted if their secondaries hit a ship (confederate / high caliber). I don't see why a plane's secondaries shouldn't also count towards awards.

clear sky requires specific targeting and/or flak barrage (i would assume the new fighter barrage ability will also contribute).

No. You didn't say anything about manual targeting.

 

 I don't see why they shouldn't be included. They are still your units shooting down enemy units.

 

But you can't manually target other planes for them to shoot, so they don't fit in with the achievement. Same with catapult fighters, AFAIK.

Planes shot down by floatplane fighters and AA without designating targets don't count toward Clear Sky for surface ships. So no, Carriers shouldn't get special treatment.

It should be any AA period. Not 'focused'.

 

I feel like that would pretty much take all of the effort out of it. Then it would hardly be an "achievement."

Carriers have no way of manually controlling rear gunners. So it's impossible for it to be a 'skill'. It just happens involuntarily.

Which is exactly why they shouldn't count towards Clear Sky.

Cruiser/Battleships have no way of manually controlling floatplane fighters either, they do not actively engage the target you Ctrl+LMB but just attack whichever squadron that happens to cross into its patrol area.

Manual targetting. 80 planes. One plane got shot down by a rear gunner. Only one clear sky.

They should award a flag if you get this achievement.  Like say, +10% to AA efficiency.
