Boxed-in is the right term, that's how flak works in AH.  The ack explosions are generated around you, they have no ballistics between the guns and the target.  That means there's no way to dodge them.

Does the size of the box that explosions can be in change in size as your range from the CV changes?

Let's add a few other variables:

Does the size of the box increase with the target's...
airspeed?
altitude?

Does the size of the box increase when the target is
changing heading?
rapidly gaining/losing altitude?

I'd rather masturbate with a cheese grater, Danke.        :O

Would you care for a little whine with that?

Depends, what year and volume?   A quiet sophisticated veteran whine or a shrill, high-pitched squeaker vintage?  I guess it depends whose grapes got stomped to make it. 

Darn shame actually.  I don't have much wine here.  Plenty of beer though.  20-30 gallons or so. 

Sorry to disappoint you.  A 20 year old single malt and cheese just doesn't sound like it fits like it does with whine and cheese.  But then again, a couple belts o' the good stuff might make for easier going with the cheese grater.

Oh I love the new look first of all.  Second of all, the new gun emplacements are sweet.  Great job HTC.   :aok 


I hope this is finally enough to stop the dive bombing Lancasters.
