Cmustard, I think you can avoid all this junk so far if you just post any complaints you have in a completely objective way - so no opinions or anything, other than why you dislike something.  And please don't act emotional about it.  Once you've done that, there's really not too much anyone can complain about in your posts.

As to your points, I'd say that:

1)  I don't entirely understand what you're trying to say, but I'll assume that you mean "when a person that you've joined as a gunner bails out, you remain in the plane and go spinning down to the ground with the plane".  I see why this happens, however I think it would be more realistic if the gunner were able to bail out as well.

2)  I'm really not sure about this point at all.

3)  This makes sense, as ack will damage whatever it hits, whether it's an enemy or a friendly aircraft.

As to your later point about puffy ack, I'd agree that something definitely has to be done about it.

<S>

Hey wait your just did #6 yourself! :lol Actually i was just making a point to prove my next statement. Just because the guy doesn't get all the explanations we are giving him for his post i wouldn't call him names because of it. I know myself i just haven't gotten it when people try to post and explain something to me.

I think he's confused as to what he thinks is happening with the so called "glitches" and what is really happening or meant to be happening. It's kind of like when you first see a plane warping in the game. Your first instinct is not to think about lag or film it and see what's really going on. I'd say 95% of us the first time we saw a plane warp threw the big "C" word out there.

This is exactly what happened in real life and therefore not a glitch. Get hit by a shell and you will take damage.

Yeah, in real life, if a bad guy had a friendly on its tail at D200, all guns on a field opened fire pointing at random places in the sky  :rofl

 :rolleyes:

 Completely unlike real life, our auto & puffy ack never fails to identify who the enemy and who the friendly is, and shoot only at the friendly. Accidents still can and will happen.

In real life, ack often shot first and asked questions later. Just read up about "Operation Bodenplatte", where German fighters took tremendous losses from own ack.

 :rofl Comon now.  You said "exactly like real life".  He is not talking about the puffy bs.

In real life, my guess is that ack would not open fire in that case

You are wrong. Ack had a hard time identifying low & fast targets. Usually they shot at everything that approached their positions in that way.

Gun on an airfield right?  The would have a friendly firing at a bad guy and they would open fire?

This is a game , and not isn't very accurate in alot of areas. Friendly ack shouldn't kill you. If you want to say that then we could alos (EDIT: also END EDIT) say why can we fly through friendly aircraft? Why do we have kill shot? ETC.

ack is ack... regardless of who shoots it. Once fired it is every bit a leathal to any aircraft it hits. Maybe if people didn't hug the ack so much (I will not mention names cmustard) they wouldn't have to worry about it. Friendly fire ack hitting me is so rare that I can only recall getting hit once (a ping only, no damage) in the last 6 months.

Long range naval 5 inch puffy ack is usually an indication that there is a skilled gunner in one of the CV 5 inchers, and should give you pause about continuing on your current course and speed. I've gotten kills on 234s at 5K (and closing) in a 5 inch... stay away from my CV when I'm in a 5 inch... <S> Killing perk rides is a special pleasure!

Manned guns will not kill a friendly and you can't killshoot yourself in a manned gun... I've lit cmustard up a few times hoping that this was not the case.

Leave the ack alone HTC, it is fine just the way it is.

This is why cmustard needs to learn hiding in his own ack is not going to save him all the time  :aok

Though I have not a real problem with ack, but what C-mustard said happened to me few times also, but I never gave much thought about it.
But i think the whole debate here about ack went to crap when trying to find a connection with real life. I mean, come on, give us, to all the rest off us here, give us a break. Show some mercy. How can you imply about real life situations, when friendly collisions and friendly fire are “of”. Since ack is friendly, at least this is what I suspect, they should be likewise in the “off mode” regarding making any damage to friendly planes.  Set friendly collisions “on” and friendly fire “on” also and then and only then do the same thing with ack.

I hope u understand my Greek-English lol

I hate that glitch where  other players come in with all kinds of alt, then run like school girls soon as they lost their advantage. It's score ho's glitch or something.. I wish HTC would fix that one.

Common  practice for the Italians. I read it on Wiki.

 :furious LIAR!!!!!!

Panos, I got that, too ;) and I agree. I've been hit by friendly ack a lot of times, it's just a nuisance, but, since we have no friendly collisions and no friendly fire, I can't see why we shouldn't have friendly ack neutered.
