Wouldn't it be nice, and more accurate, to have some ack muzzle flashes when they are firing? I don't mind not being able to see the acks until low level (they are small and all) but if they were firing you'd think you could see the flashes. Any video/description I've ever seen of ack firing from the ground had very definite flashes.
With the new ack so much tougher to actually "kill", figuring out which ones are firing and trying to get a good pass on them without cannons is so much tougher, why not give us a chance to know which ones are firing (including manned ones).
