It may well be a "feature" but I too find it an annoyance.

 And it acts morso like a bug.

As for tracking it down ... let's see, A17 Vhanger ack seems to have this strange attribute. Least every time I have visited it,it has.  :eek:

 I dont know how many sorties I have flown with cannons to guide me  but I am sure some kind soul with  alot time on their hands can "enlighten me".  :rolleyes:

Oh yeah, if he put this in the BUG REPORT FORUM WHERE IT BELONGS then I would of never replied.

But the lack of placing it in the proper forum, the ever present evidence of squeaking, and the obvious solution at hand (cannons, don't leave home without 'em!) kinda makes me wanna reply.

Hblair is a LimpWristed LittleWiener LuftWeenie!

Wow HBlair.. I don't know. Have I ever come in here and said: "HTC FIX IT!"?

And.. did this vh ack suprise anyone?  And.. isn't a post like this the simple result of a mission that didn't go perfectly?  And.. is the word "venting" interchangeable with the word "whining".  And.. isn't critiquing someone for being critical somewhat hypoctical?

In a game where people expect to be able to make multiple passes on anti-aircraft batteries and take them out with 1 .50 calibre ping... this one ack seems bogus.  What exactly needs fixing in this scenario?

Deja, to be honest with you, I thought the port acks were not affected by this bug, we were running a mission of 5-6 heavy P47d30's with 2-3 P47d11's for cover. No cons in the area as we dive in on P55. I kill 3 ack on my first pass, the other guys kill some too. On the second pass, all ack was dead, or so we thought. We lost 2 planes I think to that point. The D30's were low on E at this point, tried to egg the vehicle hangar, got squashed by the ack as they made their run at low speed shallow angles.

All but 2-4 of the original flight died. The d11's orbited helplessly waiting on us to reup with more bombs, as ostwinds rolled from their VH, and as fighters started upping from a field to the north.

Thats where we are coming from.

Could we have done something differently? well, we will next time when hitting a port.

Was zig right in posting this? probably not, but I've done plenty of stupider things myself.

SW, do you remember when you got kicked out of the arena by HT? What zig did here doesn't even compare. Where were you then deja? If that would have been anybody other than Enos, they'd still be sitting in the Hazzard County Jail.

Yeah I remember when I got _MUTED_ by one of HT's flunky "monitor" jackholes.

I didn't do anything wrong, no vulgar language or anything and I was _MUTED_ for no reason other than what I could tell was spite or something just as anally retarded.

Anyways, would you rather be able to strafe down a VH ack with 1 cannon round or be muted for no reason?

I was handling it private.  I sure as hell wasn't in the thread supporting wulfie's actions.  I still question the objectivity of the individual doing the banning at the time, but I will redily acknowledge that Wulfie drones on and on and on at times.  I'm pretty sure he would too.

So.. basically, my participation in that thread is somewhat similar to your participation in this one hblair.  I'm sorry that you guys didn't get that base... but is this reaction really merrited?  Is an ack needing a cannon round or better to go down really a bug that merrits fixing RIGHT NOW!?  Is it really something that merrits an argument if HTC says they really aren't planning to commit resources to tracking it down?

As for "where your coming from".  I guess that's just lack of experience talking.  Rookies like you and Zigrat make these kind of mistakes all the time.  You guys will learn as you fly more.

I know that any base attack we participate in... the VH ack is the first target... and its status is closely monitored.  One plane in on VH ack.. one in on VH.  If the MGs don't get the VH ack, it is distracted by the lower plane and VH still goes down.  Then, especially at a port, you expend remaining heavy ord on the vh ack until dead.  At a port its also good to have one plane focus on the 88's right off the bat.  How many planes did you have hitting that port again?  How many were heavy?

Thanks for the advice Deja, with some practice, I'm sure I can get my 1.47 Attack hit percentage down to your .80

How do you do that? Just miss targets a lot? Spazz and die to the ack as your dropping your bombs most of the time?

Perhaps you can meet me in the training arena and teach me how to do some sloppy jaboing? I'd really appreciate it.
