I was defending a port a few days ago and it took an hour for field ack to pop.

Strat will also affect downtimes. Base downtime is 45 min, I think. Remembering that from years back, though.
A Rook who first flew 09/26/03 at the age of 13, has been a GL in 10+ Scenarios, and was two-time Points and First Annual 68KO Cup winner of the AH Extreme Air Racing League.

Like OOZ662 already mentioned: Downtime can be prolonged by either destruction of the AA-Strat or by killing of incoming supply convoys.

The total maximum downtime for field ack is 2h.

AI ack down time is 1 hour .

All Mannable Guns down time is 15 mins.

all down time can be shortened by player resupply < new dead ack
takes 8 drops to rebuild>.

AA Factory  has an affect on down time of AI ack, if Factory is down,
AI ack wont respawn for 3 hours.

According to HTC max AI ack downtime (as well as any other field installation) is 2h.

I think standard downtime is 45mins rather than 1h, just like dar & ords, but I am not absolutely sure.
