well, the ack in WWII was hand cranked and could not keep up will a plane flying at 400 mph through it, it was physically imposable for a hand cranked ack to turn at 400 mph, ack was only good at high alt and head on attacks.

If its pissing you off it seems to be working fine.


I think It would be nice to add puffy maned ack to fields also....

I'm thinking that would be really difficult to code and even harder to use.

Think of all the kills you could steal.

Puffy ack needs to be removed from the game until they figure out some sort of killshooter penalty for it, or a way to cease fire when friendly planes are around.  Getting blown away by it during a dogfight is lame.  Is there killshooter for manned ack?  I don't know because I rarely hit anything with it.

yes, puffy ack has kill shooter, i accidently shot a allied plane when i he was being chased by a 109, it took me out of the gun saying u have been killed, but didnt say somone killed me

[redman555]

o and u were saying make ack imperviuos to .50? Well i think the reason u can take an ack out so easly is prolly cause im assuming HT did something asif there were soldiers there on the gun, and u kill the soldiers u kill the gun? im just guessin but thats why i think ack is so easy 2 kill

[Atoon]

I like the ack, its effective but not too hard to kill. The biggest problem I see with ack is that its near impossible to get people to work together killing it.  I can get 2 guns per pass in YakU- if im not going to fast:D


the problem is Im usually the only one going for it.

Ok...No it doesn't you must have been bombed or strafed.

5" guns will not kill shoot you.  As was said, you must have been bombed or something.  You will see people on CVs shooting at friendly planes all the time.  Tough not to when they take off right next to the 5"ers.

As for the kill shooting, 5" or 88mm Flak batteries would just put the furball a bit farther away from the field.  As it is now, I can shoot the wing off a plane and someone will chase it to the ground blazing away at it the whole time.  

88mm flak batteries (5"ers) at fields would help defend against attacks, but mainly against low level, lawn mowing Buffs.  The 88s would be taken out as easy as any manned ack now.  They are after all "Manned" and not armored.  

Coordinated attacks can take out ack with no problem.  It gets done routinely.  Ack killing you is just the risks you take.  If you’re the only one taking it down, you are either brave or stupid.  LOL, Probably the latter if your complaining about it killing you.

The Puffy ack on the other hand needs work.  Still can't figure out how those rounds pop around me when I am changing direction and altitude.  And how the heck can the shoot behind mountains?

Now that I totally agree with! Shooting through mountains is unheard of in WW2 afaik. And the speed with which the hi alt flak keep up with you at extreme ranges is not physically possible. The corrections are too accurate on turning fighters. I was also exploded by flak once in a 262, moving away from the ack base at med alt and 500 mph, the range and accuracy of those guns are totally unrealistic.
