AA "FLAK" Needs to be upped a little
« on: June 14, 2006, 12:32:38 PM »
Can we get the FLAK to be more intense...in WWII there was massive FLAK fields all across the map. Maybe Surround the Factories with AA guns that go up to a mile away from the factory,  maybe a total of about 20-60 AA guns surrounding the factory. This would give a more realistic feeling to the bombers that bomb the factories... and maybe do the same to the HQ. This will solve some the problem of bombers taking out the factories without any problem. Back in WWII you could expect about 25 bombers to be downed by AA... this is of course is saying out of a formation of about 400 bombers. So can we get more AA guns to make the bombers job more diffficult?

No thanks, bombing is plenty difficult as it is.

Not saying the level is good, bad, or unrealistic, but:

On my last 2 strat bombing runs, I was pinged by flak.  The first mission, it knocked out an engine.  The second, it created a fuel leak in my biggest tank, which caused me to shut down 2 engines just to have enough gas to get home.  Both missions I was at 26,000 feet over the target.

So, you fly bombing missions enough, there will be some flak hits.  Don't really have an opinion on whether or not the flak should be heavier, but it can make a difference occasionally.

ok i have 274 bomber sorties this month already so i know bombing, im the CO of the mighty 8th and not once was i pinged by flak. and frame rates wont suffer if you add about 10 puffs of smoke, and if it does then you need to upgrade your RAM ause 10 puffs of smoke shouldnt do that.

Bombers would just come in higher where the ack cant shoot.

Before they add more flak batteries around the strat targets, how about making the flak targeting more realistic?  As it is now, flak batteries will shoot through mountains.

88 far more dangerous for fighters than bombers for now. They need to be changed first.

:huh

Lemme get this straight. You want a smaller ac to take less damage than a bigger ac?

I think an 88 round would be more hazardous for  fighter than a bomber.

I have alot of RAM, 768 MB wich is enough, but it is more about the vid card.Many people don't have the "super" computers. and i belive HTC won't risk losing people because of high hardware demands.Most of us have trouble with FR at the moment.

hey when something gets old, you get a better one...i doubt HTC is going to make this game stay with peoples computers back from 1998 very much longer. And 768MB of RAM isnt that much
