As far as ack huggers go, ack provides an area they can up for defense and in relative safety get a little E before they are engaged/engage the attackers. If the attackers stay out of ack range the defenders will be compelled to venture out of the ack umbrella once they reach a co-E state and fight.

I agree with all of this.

It would be cool to add 2 quad 20mms on air fields, maybe charge 5 perks or so.  Pack sand bags around them, we can hope right? ;)

I think organized hordes would be good for the game.. it'd definately be an upgrade to the unorganized suicide vulching hordes that seems to be the fad of the new players (some old too) of today..

other than the freezing frame thing that came with the high res (that hasnt been that big of a hinderance) i have no issues with the new upgrade..

I only wish the ack could be alot more deadly when striking planes that are 0-2kiish agl..

Another side benefit I noticed tonight was the shredding of low-alt formations of suicide buffs. Previously, it was hard, if not impossible to get the 3-7 hits per buff in a formation before they successfully dove on the hangers to unload at full speed and augered. Now, with all the field ack, they get torn to shreds before they can reach the target in this fashion. The result was buffs tending to opt to level bomb from medium alt just out of reach of the field ack as they should. This really added to the realism factor...

Much more realalistic......No more suicide bombers and much harder to pork a field..... Just as it should be.

Ack in the twn is great also... no more single osti's tearing up a twn by themselves.......as it should be

Well done HTC:aok

The ack at fields and towns is in my opinion the best feature HTC have added to the game in a long time.

Upping at a field yesterday was hilarious with bunches of niks being shredded on attempted vulching runs.

Just a quick question, what is the down time on acks now and does hitting strat effect that down time ?
