That is the problem. In a fictitious game arena where people fly to fight each other, being killed by a random AI event is not acceptable. This was a big part of my decision to leave AH.

I dont BBS enough to know how to pull a quote from 1 topic to another. But this is the summation for puffy ack, I wanted to put in the "Yes" thread.

1 can only assume the decision will not change unless it should happen that Hefe Grande gets a 1 hit and off to the tower puffy ack ride. He didnt play much when I flew MA, so the odds aren't in favor the settings will change any time soon. It was refreshing however to see that he did at least respond to the thread.

I do it all the time.
Like I said on another thread. I just ignore it as it rarely effects me.

Actually Im all in favor of making it MORE effective.

Especially when large numbers of aircraft (read Hordes) are inbound.

No way should large numbers of AC be allowed to attack a base virtually unscathed

I say multiply its effectiveness by 5 at the very least

  you funny guy, do any stand up?

Hitech long ago made arrangements for the "No Field Capture" , "No puffy ack" and etc. crowd. I think he named it the Dueling Arena. DA is what the MA would be if you removed elements like these. If it were such a hot concept one would think DA would be filled nightly, in particular with some of the guys above.

You can not, and you will not reshape  the MA.  MA is anarchy.    In more developed games the MA whould be a newbie training arena.  The fault of AH is there is nothing else.

That's not the whole issue Zanth.

Lame....

Hitech would you please settle this one way or the other.

It it even possible to be hit by your own ack here?

I've never never ever been hit by my own ack. let alone shot down by it

No but I'm told I'd probably be quite good at it.

Only problem is in this instance Im not joking

It's not surprising the guy on the wrong end of the distribution curve is well heard.  I've been hit by friendly ack more than a few times, but not enough to feel jinxed.  Just don't stand in the ack's line of sight, i.e. right on the bogie's six when it's pointing at the gun.  
No brainer.


What this thread was about is the 5' autos' instant adjustment, which contradicts physics.
Field gun rotation was fixed for the airfields, why not do it for the 88/5's too?

IMO, there has got to be a reason why some guys get nailed frequently whether changing course or not, and others can fly in ack for 30 minutes at a time without even a scratch.

Personally I remember  several occasions where Puffy ack killed me on it's first or second shot, I was constantly changing course.

Maybe when some of the "in crowd" experiences the aimbot fluffy ack, it will be further investigated. let's all hold our breath:rofl
