Rod, check this site;

88mm flak

Alt range of 88mm flak with proxi shell, was 10000m=30000fts,
Why not to get killed at 20000 ft, 6600m??

Well Wasn't a lone flak gun anywhere in ww2. In here a lone 88 will kill you if you vircle enemy base. And from stories I've heard and read, Flak gunners would never open up on lone high fighter. Too much waste of ammo with little chance of hitting it. And you can bet 88 guns wouldn't fire at thier own fighters fighting a fighter. Now don't tell me fighter breaking off so ack can shoot we all know that was fighters attacking bombers. See many layouts of airfields enemy and friendly I can not remember seeing 1 88 at any base.

As a matter of fact Bristish Bombers use to straffe fields after bombing. Making germans wake up.

Bet if germans had AH2 88's they wouldv'e won war 1 shot 1 kill

5. Does enemy fighters receive damage from there own AI88s?

Answered my own question last night. Was in the CT chasing a A6M away from my carrier. Only two NME up in the area and both were in my forward view. Ship puffy ack was firing at the A6M in front of me when I was hit by the puffy stuff. It only put a hole in my canopy and didnt insta kill me. So it does appear that Puffy ack will hit friendly Aircraft.

one isnstance of puffy ack pissing me off was when i was in a 110 NOE rtb'ing back to base. NOE meaning as low as i can get, which was several thousand feet due to the mountains. the puffy ack was shooting at me still!!! not more than 50 ft off the ground and its shooting at me. not to mention the fact that the base was hidden behind the hills. just really gets on my nerves. but hey, it isnt that important, it never hit me. kept trying to avoid it while avoiding the 6 planes behind me. while i was avoiding the ack, i was wasting precious speed that allowed the planes behind me to eventually catch me, though i was so close to base.

Maybe it kills you. but for some reason it rarely ever even scratches me.

In fact I have film of a flight I took last night I was leisurly cruising right over an enemy base. ack going off all around.
Didnt so much as scratch my paint

Its the smaller suff that nails me.
Not the puffy ack

How about when you spawn in towards an enemy base in your GV and discover you are at some altitude (on the ground still) that is high enough for the base PUFFY FLAK to start firing at your spawn point ?

LOL !

Nah, leave it the way it is. Its your problem for not maneuvering around the flak. As long as you dont stick to a linear line from when it starts to when it ends, you should be fine. Thats how the ack zero's in. It reads your position from the last time it fire and assumes where you will be next. If you keep moving from side to side, drop and lose a little alt, it shouldnt beat ya up too bad.

The 88 in AH2 are BS. It's getting to the point were I am thinking about canceling because of it. Twice in one day I was in a very good fight at 10K and I was killed by 88's. There is no point in paying for a game when I can't enjoy a good fight when one presents its self. If I want to play against a computer I would not be paying 14.95 a month. This is realy starting to make me angry.
