I agree with Overlag mostly...It's a two-edged sword. If you're on a map(or Arena) that promotes furballs, then people running around between the town, or field, and then darting in when you try to engage(and get eaten by ground guns, giving the ack runner a proxy), Well, that gets really old, really fast. On the other hand, you'll get pissed when the AA is so weak that some runway warrior will orbit out of the fight, waiting for you to kill his countrymen that he wasn't gonna bother to save, to get a vulch kill on you while landing.

     So, to put it bluntly, It's not the AI that's the problem...It's the human element.

Funny thing since the new ack model has been deployed.  I haven't seen ANY   B-24 or Lancaster NOE Missions over an Air Base.

I believe that was the primary reason for pumping it up.  Now if you fly bombers low over a field...they get chewed up pretty good...they even get shot down sometimes.   You can still de-ack a "P" and "V" base with em though.

Good change IMO.

In the last days I have noticed some sort of comeback of low-level buffs over fields. The buffs are usually able to drop their bombs just before being shredded to pieces...

there wasnt as many guns for defence in 1939  as there were in 1945,the
arenas  should repersent this

yes the ack should be more severe as one progresses through the arenas. As the war progressed so did the weaponry

New ack model is great :aok  leave it as it now is :aok  good change hi Tech!

More ack over vehicle base? No way :O  the ack level is perfect for the importance of what the base is

U know mostly who doesn’t like the new ACk? ;)

I will telll you who….

Those that used to attack undefended bases in the middle of the night  by themselves – and that was the hole that needed plug.  That is why the new ack model is GOOD.
