There is something wierd at work with puffy ack, in my estimation.  Some times it's a nuisance - but if I don't get too close to the source it's not too big a deal. 

But once in a while, it's like the dice are glued on snake eyes - by the third puff (still "dot distance") it's dialed in on me and I'm poof.   And once I"m "dialed in", I'm dialed in for the night (or perhaps until I log, haven't tried that) it seems. Anywhere it can reach me, I'm a goner as soon as it starts firing.

Puffy ack seems to be working just fine.  Ya can't even have a good fight for the ack.  I guess if you can see the CV you are to close.  First round I get the CV in sight 10k and just close enough to see the wake.......BOOM....tore the whole back of my F4U off.........second round dive in on an F6F and the HO tard missed but the ack didnt took a wing off.....again way out from the CV.
