I agree, sorry but I don't think it was as accurate in RL as it is an AHII, going over a base at 300 MPH at 7k and it still finds a way to hit my with overwhelming accuracy...

But back on subject...
I agree, and once ack gets 2 kills, it can choose to land it

If all you have to worry about is whether the ack gives some other guy a proxy, then you've got it pretty good I'd say :)

Remember the ack-weenies?:lol

When ack got kills people would suicide in it to prevent someone else from scoring their legitimate kill.  The current system prevents that kind of abuse and is an even stronger deterent against suicidal attacks: no one wants to give someone else a free kill.

What he said. Ppl already jump from undamaged planes (buffs mostly) just to dont give you kills, is it not enough? I played in Warbirds, and i say it was one of most annoying feature in game.

Better extend proxy range to something like 20 miles lol

So how would you solve the problem with the enemy plane taking one ack hit, then you drag him away from the field, far away, maneuver kill him and then acks get the kill because those are the only things that did dammage to the plane?

Nha leave it as it is, if you are stupid enough to follow someone in the ack they desirve the kill message. They are still the primary reason your plane is missing parts.

actually i was thinking about this earlier and think the person in the ack gun should get a death counted towards gv/gunner position instead being able to "land" there kills..

Better check the logic of your statement for a small hole.   He created them both, but apparently they have diverged since.   Warbirds' ack and scoring regarding same is not only different but better than what we see in AHII.

I also like that an NOE raid in WBs can result in a delayed reaciton by the ack.   I tried that in here at 20 feet off the deck and the ack was shooting at me before I even crested the hill overlooking the enemy base.   I find that bogus.

A timer, damage, or proximity setting.   Once beyond X distance from ack or beyond X minutes from an ack hit, assuming the ack hit was minor, the kill goes to the maneuvering pilot.

Hardly.

The plane is missing parts because the computer shot you.  

It takes no skill to run.

The current system allows weenies to run away because a pursuing pilot isn't wanting to give away a freebie kill.   For my money it encourages the prey to run and discourages the predator to pursue.

AFAIR, your alt wasnt matter, if there no enemies for some time, acks will have a delay for new one, NOE or not.
