49.19 Direct Fire Flak Attacks not supposed to receive standard Flak modifiers

Description

Was reading various artillery rules for a question on another server and decided to read over the Flak rules on page 153 of the TO:AR. In the second paragraph when it begins to talk about the various modifiers applied to the attack. It states "Apply a +3 to hit modifier. Ignore the regular modifiers for using type "F" weapons or making a direct fire attack" Reading this section I don't think the -2 modifier from the Flak keyword should be applied to the attack.

ADAs specifically seem to state they use the rules for Standard Flak Attacks so I believe they are still supposed to receive the bonus.

This can be replicated by adding various artillery and VTOLs to any random battle so no saves are really required.

Apply a +3 to-hit modifier. Ignore the regular modifier for making a direct-fire attack; the only other modifiers applied are for using Type “F” weapons, the firing unit’s movement and current damage, as well as woods/jungle, if any are intervening.

Which printing do you have?

Yeah. Its 4th edition. I failed to notice its an older version and the rule has since been erratad.
