Again, the story and the reality don't match. the cv in question was adjacent to our base, 25mi as the crow flies to the nearest knit base, (think we had 200 and were defending the cv. i'd have to check the map to be 100% sure). anyway, we weren't attacking anything, we were defending against USgrim, USHwk1, and Airbat who tried repeatedly to sink the cv with b26s, p47s, ju88s, a typhoon and a p38 or 2. You prolly couldn't see them due to the thick black smoke caused by the barrage of ack being thrown your way.

don't drag the rest of my squad into this. every post that contains the words 'ack' or 'cv' seems to turn into a heartwrenching tale of how you were stricken down doing something stupid, but its invariably never your fault. its super ack bs, or skillless dweebs, or it hit you well out of icon range, etc etc. there is zero point even discussing this with you.

Fk this, I'm done with this thread.

You draged mine in it first.  Yes, I got close to CV one time.  That was not the time I am talking about.  I am talking about the whole night. Iam talking about killing A6Ms in a P40 only to have the guy jump in the 5" gun for revenge.  You base your remarks based on that one time I got close to the CV.  In reallity, you made the remarks you made because you were in a 5" gun, prolly shooting at figters instead of the bombers so my comments hit right at home.  More over, you had an argument with hwk that night, so you figured you would make some irelevant remarks about the USMC while on the subject.

Please do not discush this with me.  It did not start that way.  it started with you making smart arse remarks about me and my squad.  Why did you think this was a discusion on your part?  

Yep, you got one thing right.  It is not my fault when someone holds the triger down and points towards a bunch of cons (frindly and enemy).  If you don't want to be discushing something, stop jumping in threads making coments about it.  

As far as the story and reallity.  Well, reallity is I spent more than 30 seconds in that area.  You chose the 30secs that justify dweebness

Read prev post.  'historically accurate' was a reference from an earlyer post.

Sorry

I've already said this in here, you guys are mad.


the thread is not about AI 88mm (despite its frustration at times), this thread is not about even 5" gun dweebery.

this thread is related to friendly fire incedents involving the 5" guns.

why should two planes fly within 25 yards of the same flak burst and one be able to fly away from it as a comprehensive law.

maybe it could be belived if it was random and infrequent but its stupid as a virtua-physical law.

i hoped we could come to a possitive conclusion before the thread joined the lost souls in the BB after life.

I'd say nearly everyone agreed that it should damage both planes and moved on to more interesting subjects long ago.

Watched the video you were way to close to the CV. You go that close to a CV expect ACK.

Now that being said, yes the enemy plane should take damage for being in the same vicinity of the puffy ack. Maybe put a lock on the guns so they wont fire ack when a friendly is in the immediate vicinity.

Besides that dont fly to close to cv's they are notoriously deadly accurate with ACK.

i was no threat to the CV is what my distance refered to.


Ed, you're right, i wont post here even if Furball calls me names.

As a bomber pilot, I'd love to lead nme fighters through their own puffy ack and watch them die. As a guy who sucks at flying fighters, I'll be the first to jump into a 5" gun and try to kill anyone who is attacking my cv, even if he shot me down in a plane two or three times. I guess I'm pathetic.

Nah, you are not pathetic.  You just missed the point.  If anyone is attacking or is a threat to the CV then by all means, do what ever it takes to kill him.  Same when you are in a buff.  Deffend yourself anyway you can.  It has nothing to do with how good you are in a fighter, gv, or buff.  It is about game play.

This game has some serious issues.  For example, the ability to hit a con 5K out while its is constantly turning is BS.  Another BS game future is the ability to sink a CV with a 2 second burst from a SpitV (got film if you want to see, but it is easy nuff to try yourself).  Its when people take advantage of BS game futures that they become pathetic.  But thats just the opinion of a few so really, it should not be a big deal.  The game designers stand behind the design and the behavior so it is really the complainers that are pathetic at this point.
