HiTech Creations Crew,

I wish for the puffy-ack to affect the flight and make it more of a challenge when encountered. I believe it would make the game more intense and a challenge to get through puffy-ack that bounces the plane about.

That will just start the whines again on how deadly the flak is. For some reason there are quite a few players that cannot fathom how deadly flak really was. They seem to think that it was rare for one flak burst to take out a plane.

On the other hand, I would like to see flak fields surrounding the factories and depots and the addition of flak towers at fields.

ack-ack

I could care less if the whiny ******ez have a problem w/ it or not. That's one thing I'm getting tiered of is catering to the complaining aces. Yeah I know what you mean about how ppl just fly, if on ground "skipping", through the Puffy ack w/ no problems and it is not what would really happen.

Come on HiTech 'n' Crew, hook tha ppl on here up w/ some challenging puffy ack and put the whiney putzies on the back burner.

the issue here is that flak INSTANTLY reaims on you. its a INSTANT reaction to your speed and heading, which means fighters in a furball (often slow) are very very easy targets... even if they are turning and burning.

Buffs fly in dead straight lines and rarely get hit... Its rather odd. I remember in one of the B17 games back when i was a kid having to constantly change alt (requesting it) by 1000ft or more to try and get out of the barrage of flak.

because slight speed or alt changes causes the flak guns to have to reaquire speed, alt settings for delays. Yet in AHI the flak took out fighters from miles away (and behind hills sometimes).

so flak had to be reduced, but that ment it never hit bombers or fighters. Maybe the flak should be x2 for bombers x1 for fighters. Or maybe its aimming code needs reworking.

Also remember that this is a game, fighting other people is fun. Fighting AI (or luck) is not.
