manned ack
« on: February 25, 2008, 04:50:37 PM »
Why is there manned ack? I mean, can't the average dweeb just run to his base with regular ack? For a CV, its a little more understandable, but for bases, I don't see the neccesity. You barely get any points for killing one, no icon, no kill credit. SOMEONE TELL ME WTH IS THE POINT!!!

:furious

They are anti-aircraft guns, and they exist for shooting down airplanes. The reward for destroying one is not having it shoot you down.

Why's this in the Wishlist anyway? It's not a wish; it's a whine.

So you were actually dumb enough to follow a guy into his ack? If he runs the just turn around. 9 times out of 10 he'll turn back around and you8 can resume the fight. If he runs again the just turn around again, keep dragging him away from his ack.

If you fly into it thinking your superman, then youd better use your super speed to repair your plane

I'd have a better chance in running into a Dodo Bird in the middle of rush hour, walking down the I-5 with two hookers in tow before I see a useful post from glock89- Ack-Ack

err you dont get any points for killing planes or GVs in an ack gun. Plus, the manned ack guns keeps people complaining like you from porking everything on a base with out getting damage on 1 pass.

Here lie these men on this sun scoured atoll,
The wind for their watcher, the wave for their shroud,
Where palm and pandanus shall whisper forever,
A requiem fitting for heroes
