HTC can you look into your ACK

Why is anybody arguing w/ a guy that neither flys the game, nor has the slighest clue as to what we are talking about.

Id like to see the AA guns put off little puffs of smoke when firing. That would help a little.

Manned ack could use some tracers, too.

Yes to both the above, and a pitcher.

Smoke would help. Tracers are weird looking in the P-47 films someone posted here, half the time I thought they were ricochets bouncing in another direction, but the pilot had a better view and got outta there but quick.

Just out of curiosity, what makes you think the second one is the more accurate depiction?  Now I'm gonna have to look up a real pilot to ask him how hard the ack emplacements are to see from 6000 ft.

    (But I do agree, they should appear the same to everybody in the game, in a perfect world, of course).

beetle, you sure you were at 3000ft agl in your pic?  I fly several times a week and that sure looked a lot higher to me (two fold possible).  Granted I fly in Arizona where the ground is not level for the most part (easier depth perception), so that and the screen image could be the issue.  I'll take a pic on my next flight and put it on my PC to compare.

Smoke would be a cool addition for the ack sites. This could help those of us not able to afford $4,000 systems.

Smoke in my eyes would just tax your system even more so than a blown up/blacked out ack... Something like we had in AH1 would be nice. Atleast back then you knew if ack was down or up.
