Whats the use of the AI 88mm puffy ack apart from infuriating people? Its so frustrating when you spend 10+ mins flying to a base to try and find a fight just to get 1 pinged from first salvo, 5 miles+ away from it by the computer?

Pay for this game to fight people, not the computer, if i wanted to fly vs the computer i would go play IL-2 :(

We had 5 262s in the air the other Night. We lost 2 to the crap. I dont know what it is about puffy ack that Dale and the guys at HTC love about it so much but I have gotten to the point where when I see it I nose down and get as far away from the crap as posible. Even Last night ManeTMP got a pilot wound from the stuff flying no where near its source.

AI 88's should be much more effective vs. bomber formations, especially at CV's..  and much less effective vs. fighters.  in my opinion of course.

Ya.. I reported this bug before the last update..

puffy ack should be retired! It has kicked enough bellybutton in the MA.. Totally sucks to outfly everyone in a particular evironment just to die by some computer bs puffy, no rhyme or reason why it hits you, peeving players off to the extend of almost writing 'I quit' threads, bs 88 ack...

Does HTC consider puffy ack to add playability?? more lifelike?? a joke of HTC's to the MA??

Can we get a reason why the puffy ack hits you? Is it just an odds thing? The reason cant be because it gets close.. I have had puffs damn near inside my cockpit for no damage..

I think in the 7 years I've been flying WB/AH, I've been killed or damaged by flak MAYBE three times.

Would be nice to have the puffy ack as a manned gun....if you get killed by it manned it would be easier to take.

bingo kevykev.  Same with the field ack, if people want to defend their base, go ahead, but dont put computers to substitute their lack of defensive skills.

Vulching is a part of the game... If people wanted to defend a base, they would take up dweeb planes, GV's, and what else? ACK.  They would man the ack.

Having a computer do it for em is just stupid.

And no, ack does not prevent vulchers.

yup...fighters get blown out of the sky with ease, yet they are such a small target..... bombers however barely get pinged by flak, yet they are big and slow......... :rolleyes:

not saying it doesnt happen, i lost a JU88 the other day...flak blew the wing off :eek:

the fact that the AI 88s instantly reaim on a moving turning and alt changing target is BS.... In real life a formation of bombers may pull up 1000feet, and it would take the nme a couple of minutes (min 1 minute...) to work out they are missing, and how much by........ but in here, the ack instantly knows where you are going before you do it seems lol :mad:
