Ack doesn't need to shoot at troops anyway, even if the troops are dropping for the right reasons.

Not sure why, but I am one of the lucky ones that maintains an extreme attraction from puffy ack. It seems as if puffy often ignores my wingmen in closer range and continues to fire at me. I usually find myself in tower from a single hit and within 4-5 blasts. So now when I hear aaa, I run FAST.  

Have aaa fire at chutes as accurately as it fires at me= NO PROBLEM

Probably one of my squadies.  Funny as he11, but not in the spirit of the game.  But then, neither are the pilots who habitually try to HO.  You just have to deal with it.

It's been done, more than once.

In fact, when the 45s came out I remember seeing a pilot get huge kill totals by walking onto the runway spawn point. Whenever a plane spawned, it "collided" with him and he got kill credit.

Think they closed that loophole, though/

Per HT, puffy ack hit% is related to three factors: Airspeed (faster is safer); Range (farther is safer); and G-load (Pulling Gs means you're "harder to track").

Puffy ack is NOT aimed, since HT said all aiming methods he's programmed in his career either were Insta-Death (tm) accurate, or Blind-Man-on-the-Trigger stupid. Hits are based on an odds calculation, period.

I'm rarely ever pinged -- and I stay safe by keeping it fast, and pulling some Gs right before the next puff is due to go off.

Every holiday.  We crashed the server a couple times when the target didn't get enough defenders out in time.  Mostly we all died long before we got to the base.
