I agree that ack should target level bombers and obvious dive bombers(stukas, b-25 26) above whirling fighters

I'll agree with this. It's too easy for me to level-bomb a CV, unless there's a cap over it. Puff-ack is almost not a factor unless it is manned.

what fester said

actually it should go for every gun in the game .. if it isn't manned, it should not fire.

along that train of thought, the formation of drones should be removed as well - if it isn't manned, it doesn't fly.

Seems those two small changes would promote teamwork as without many things that are only possible because of superman AI, would not be accomplished without human teamwork.

I especially like the puffy ack that shoots thru mountains and around hills.... 21st  century guided smart munitions.

Flak should be line-of-sight only. I shouldn't be taking flak from a base on the opposite side of a mountain.

Which map was it that had a strat right down the hill from an airfield, but that field WASN'T the strat base? So a country would capture the airfield, and they'd be getting vulched on takeoff by the puffy ack from the strat!!!

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Current puffy ack bites no question about it.

Should be set to target stable buffs inbound not fighters at all unless there are no other targets.
