HT since we are trying

Does the puffy ack ever hit anything? I've never been hit by it, I don't think...

YES!!! I was at 28k, and only one burst of puffy fired, and that one burst caught me dead center and killed me. There were two rooks stalking me who saw it, and laughed. (One later switched to knights and joined my squad, which Is how I found out I was being followed)

new things. how about turning ack up, like you talked about at the CON.

where it would be high enough in accuracy and leath that 1 plane couldnt
deack a base alone. that it would take a minimum of 2 planes, and thats if they got lucky and all went right.

I would like to see ack lethality automated based on a countries number of players.  This would have it steadily increase against the sides that have large number of players and decrease against the sides that have less.

Hey!  thats a great idea soda72.  Dang!  I wish I thought of that!

You could always harden the barrack and ord structures on the base. I suppose those are adjustable.  I too would like to see say 2 manable 5" guns at a base that are hardened so it's not so easy to gun them down.  These two options may be easy fixes and change some of the porking that takes place by one plane on 2 or 3 bases.  The puffy ack as it is is light but I have died or gotten pilot wounds by the darn things.

make Ack hardness to where it needs a rocket hit or  100lb or 250lb
bomb to kill. instead of 1 20mm bullet within 100 yards of gun implacement as it is now.

[rod367th]

just add 5" guns to towns and fields manable. No more vulches no more deack withough worry. No more killing troops with la7 's. and if they do kill troops with la7's and deack then its your teams fault for not manning gun.

Oh hellz yeah it does. I've been whacked repeatedly by puffy, but typically it's limited to an area within 25 miles of a CV. Been taken out with 1 hit a few times, and often set on fire (most notably at 8 or 10K in a 262 zipping along WFO. That's a really cool thing to have happen to you. But, I digress )

Puffy ack seems to have a minimum ceiling, and it has an uncanny ability to hit lone fighters, while ignoring masses of heavy bombers.

maybe I'm wrong but isn't it 1 hit from manned ack your dead  (in fighter) but field ack can hit you a bunch of times and you survive.  Isn't it same gun just not man.  I like the idea more guns and harder to kill.  100lbs was said and I like it.  if that counts

I agree, I have never been hit in buffs, only in fighters, REALLY HIGH UP. I have taken light hits in a Dauntless over CVs, but nothing lethal, but when taking 17s over a CV and bombing it from 15k, nothing. Ack never even came close.

No, manned ack is 37mm, most field ack is 20mm IIRC.
