the new field ack
« Reply #45 on: February 11, 2001, 07:12:00 PM »
Is ack really anymore deadly than before?  Personally I think it is easier to dodge than before..BUT I die at the same rate now..hehe

I can de-ack a field no problem using my 109F.  The only problems I normally have are when I'm having to watch enemy fighters and not the ack.

I routinely just sit in the tower or elsewhere when a base is shut down and watch f4u's galore make routinely low passes thru ack, turning tight just outside of the base and coming back.

I've chased those same hogs on 4 passes less than 500ft around the base and they never went down due to ack. Yet try that in my LW rides and it's sure death.

Now this isn't about the C-hog folks..I'm just merely pointing out that some ppl seem to fly thru ack with no problem vs. me who only dives on ack from 7-8k fires a 1 second burst then pulls out and try's it again.

Small field ack doesn't appear very deadly to me, but the 88's are the true killers and I agree that their extremely accurate.  They must be modeled after German gunners
