Hey Fester !
first off Love the map.
But the dang auto ack is WAY to leathal man.
And Hard as heck to kill even with 30mm and 20mm.
Is there any way to adjust it to be like the other maps?
I noticed it on a119
Thx .
Again thx fer the great map.

Fester had nothing to do with ack leathality. Thats htc's department.

And..... 50cals are best ack killers...

Well it still needs to be fixed then.

I think you need to be fixed.

Deacking, if done correctly, is one of the easiest things to do.

Come in at a comfortably steep angle, fire a short burst of .50 cal, alter course (quick bank left/right and nudge back on the stick to line yourself for the next ack), fire a quick burst, rinse and repeat.

DO NOT wait to visibly see the ack being destroyed... you'll lose some parts guaranteed.

In heavily acked areas, work the edges first, and then make your way in. Dont expect to nail every ack in one pass. Patience is required.

Oct don't you think I have tried that.
As well 4 other squad mates had the some issues with the ack at that field.
Now I might be a boob but not all my squadies are LOL.

Bottomline...don't fly straight in the ack. The AI for the ack sucks at hitting manuevering targets. It excels at hitting targets that fly straight. Speed is not an issue.

The ack is too lethal? Are you serious? If you and 3 squadies can't destroy the ack at a field with 20mm or 30mm... you really need to just hang up the spurs and try a different game. Either that or stop trying to convince everyone you're correct with your observation and actually listen to what they are saying.

Ack lethality was turned up sometime two tours ago.

Um, obviously you haven't. Ack can't be lethal if it never hits your crate.

Now if it's accuracy you're complaining about, then start a new thread

Ya dolt, dont get hit!

o 20mm 30mm ballistics are increasingly poor with range.
o Fly straight for too long at any range, you will die.

You are ignoring the above points, with predictable results. Likely you primary failing is you are waiting for the guns to die before you manuver for the next gun.

You cannot just sit there and wait for the gun to blow up. Wastes ammo and makes you easier to hit. Take your shot then immediately aim for the next, etc. etc.

You dudes ate not reading this right!
i was not flying right at the ack.
And i opened up with 12.7 mm 20mm and 30 mm load out 109 G10

the ack locked on to me even while macking violent turns.
Anyway thanks for you/r tips:rolleyes:

You were firing with three different types of gun, each with different ballistics and more than likely missing with every shot. To kill ack you need to be able to hit it while in the middle of evasive turns. Fly straight for a second and you'll get hit. If you and 3 of your squaddies can't deack a field together easily I recommend the following steps:

Go offline

Learn to shoot

Learn to deack

Get online

Go to TA with squaddies and practise deacking together

On another note mrblack, eere's some free advice to ponder:

Your signal:noise ratio is very low, even for a newbie. Try listening to what more experienced players are trying to teach you and you will get better. Keep insisting that your opinion is fact and you'll stay a newbie forever.

the ack does seem about 2X as accurate on fester's map.

didn't he say something like there are quad 37mm's instead of the normal guns?

i know the VH bases have much more ack and you cant do 1 decent pass withough losing 1/2 a wing minnium (and YES i know how to de-ack... and am considered the best one @ it in the squad)
