Manned Ack

[WolfSnipe]

dont u wish there were Manned-Ack in town so u didnt have to get flak in there to defend and have Manned ack it would be easier and u could try taking tanks out in town

Well then you would get mad cuz someone would be in mnned ack and kill your troops when they land, and a Ostwind with armor can usually withstand more than a soft Gun.

Manned ack in town would not be a bad idea, also manned ack at factories would be welcomed too.  I wish GVs could spawn into their own towns.

[WolfSnipe]

yes so at least if they have cap u mite have chance of keeping base and i've killed oswinds and tanks in manned ack plenty of times hit them in the side thats all

[WolfSnipe]

and panzer IV that mite get u made but it gives the ther side a chance if ur side was smart enough thEy would shoot all the manned ack

I disagree.  Towns can be easily defended as it is.   The last ack increase has got it just right.

My gunnery in a manned ack is very good now and It just wouldnt be fair.


If they agreed to put 1 man ack in town I would suggest counting a soft gun with someone in it (shooting)  as a registered kill for the pilot or GV that destroys it.

I wonder how many people would support this if it counted as a death.

they should add hardened manned 5"/88's to the airfields and the towns.  these positions should not be easily taken out.  furthermore they should be able to kill friendlies if there are enemies in the fight.  if a gunner is shooting at an enemy and his rounds burst/impact near defenders the defenders should be damaged/die as well.

In Newport, RI, there are still 5 inch and AA artillery foundations lining Ocean Drive. These could be considered town fortifications, since they weren't on base, yes?

Would be a nice addition to have 2-3 additional manned acks, or small anti-ship batteries protecting the shore and town, IMO.

Of all the boneheaded things I see on this forum, this thread seems bears some credibility, and at least an idea that could be taken into consideration.

...and a single dive bomber allowed from Vbases and Ports...

yeah, not get bombed and land 21 kills in a manned-ack. you should have to manually tower out.

[WolfSnipe]

no i think it shouldnt be any different then regular ack ack

[flatiron1]

was thinking about this today, would be a good idea, yes/no?

Only way I'd agree is if we DRASTICALLY cut the amount of auto-ack in the town, and made the towns further away from the base.

[Ghosth]

I'd rather see a good German 88 mount set outside the town that could fill both roles.

Ideally it would be harder to kill than an ack, yet easier than a GV, as there is nothing protecting the crew manning the gun.

Do away with all but 2 of the town auto acks, give us 88 emplacements, ideally outside the town on the corners so they have a 270 degree field of view.  A 500lb bomb should disable them for half an hour.
