Puffy ack is pretty easy to fool.  Just put your plane in a slight climb or a dive.  This should buy you enough time to get clear.

Never works either.

And puffy ack does seem to love P-38s very much. Most of the time it's 1 puff, blown out of the sky for me- not just a PW.

totally agree, its kinda BS how the first few puffs kill you at 25k now days me and lacuna was chasing buffs up there... and both ended up damaged due to flying within 25miles of a cv.

it irks me when a friendly is in bombers.. flying at 10k straight and level, while im in a maneuvering fighter above him..

I get vaporized, he goes on untouched.


it shouldent even TRY to shooting a maneuvering fighter, much less be able to hit on at extreme ranges.

On the other hand, I'll work the strats in a p-47 all month long and 1 out of 5 times get a fuel leak, but able to land every sortie.

My method works great for me.

I've found that if you're 2k(pretty sure its 2k) or under, the ack stops firing at you from strat factories.
