(Answered) Artillery Flak and StratOps Advanced AA

[TigerShark]

In Tactical Operations, a standard Artillery Flak attack would go as follows:

Gunnery + Flak [3] + Altitude Modifier + Attacker Movement Modifiers
4 (Gunnery) + 3 (Flak) + 1 (Altitude 5) + 0 (No Movement) = 8

When interacting with StratOps Advanced Anti-Aircraft rules, however, Velocity is applied to direct fire attacks.  So would the new calculation be: (?)

Gunnery + Flak [3] + Altitude Modifier + Attacker Movement Modifiers + Velocity

I should state that this is the text that's confusing me:

StratOps, p. 96

When using the advanced AA rules, apply a to-hit modifier to the AA attack
equal to the velocity of the target at the time of the attack (special maneuvers
do not increase or reduce this velocity).

The text doesn't distinguish between artillery flak or normal, direct-fire weapons. So would the Velocity be applied to the formula for artillery AA in TacOps? Or is Velocity omitted entirely?

Yes, Velocity would be added if using this optional rule.  This is kind of crazy, but that's how it works.
