actualy if you stop and think about the ack in the game it's not realistic since the type of AA guns they let you man are flack guns.
Otherwise they need to change them to .50 cal mounts.

jeez, you already have ack you have to hit straight on to kill it, now you want mannable puffy? I'm agreeing with Furball, no.

I say yes.
Make ALL ack mannable
We need something to counteract the 500 foot dive bombing buffs
Make the ack at the town mannable too !!:D

If you actually put some thought into it....

Range of puffy ack shooting into a furball... i would say a swirling mass of fighters is easily achieved up to around 6-9k?

Distance between bases on small maps? about 15 - 20k?

That means, some tard in puffy ack gun in one base shooting into a furball spoiling the fight, and some tard in the opposing base shooting into a furball spoiling a fight, 5" gunners piss everyone off apart from a very small gap in the middle between the bases.

In WWII, AA and AAA was as much a concern for the allied planes as it was for the enemy planes and many times the fact that there might be allied planes in the air did not make a differences, the gunners kept right on firing and it was up to the allied planes to get out of the kill zone.

Anti Air is impartial, it kills either party and doesn't play favorites and to enable the kill shooter function for the AA/AAA is gaming it, if you want to furball, then stay away from the fields and battle groups and you might stay in the air longer.

If I am flying near a field or battle group, I am not surprised that I am being shot at by AA/AAA and if I get splashed because I loitered around in a furball, then it is no ones fault but my own and I am not going to demand a change because of my flying habits, put me at risk from ground fire.

Just my take on it.
