Maybe make it a little more time intensive to setup so you can't just "hop in" a gun and start firing. Just a thought.

that is another option. let players control the ack batteries, rather than have the prox fuses they would need to be the German timed fuses - that would mean my timing idea would not be needed as the calculation, adjustment etc would be performed by the human player.

Exactly:aok

I wouldn't feel so bad getting taken outta the sky by another player instead of some computer generated flak puffs.

I like both ideas.. All I think Furball is asking for is some more delay on the tracking for the ack so you can actually have some significant value to manuvering in a fighter other than living in a larger box. A minor change but more realistic.

Bomber guy here. The proposal seems fair.

I stead of 6 computer operated acks there could be one person and all the guns shoot where ever he shoots

so if he misses, thats 6 flak shots wasted

that would not be realistic

Again with the "bomber guns are too good". Okay, how do you think they're unrealistic?

dispersion, auto aimed guns that all fire at one point, unmanned guns firing (both cheek guns and chin gun at same time).

What I find REALLY unrealistic is 3 bombers flying with only 1 pilot:noid

Come on! If its in AH, it has to be historically correct, eh?

I'm not touching the parts about bombers in anyway! I thought this was about the FLAK anyway.
