How about some ack muzzle flashes
« on: October 20, 2004, 01:53:33 PM »
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).

Great point great idea

An even better one would be to have all AA guns fire tracer rounds including the manned ones.
I dont remember everseeing any instances where they removed the tracers from AA guns as they were more important for aiming purposes then on aircraft

Good idea, but all those ack flashes are going to be hard on the gunner eyeballs.

Ack gunfire noise would be nice too, especially when you're doing base defense in a GV or sitting on the rearm pad at a hot base.
