I agree. Puffy ack is totally out of control. I am getting killed by it from cv's I can't even see...didint even know they were there. Get an enemy CV within a sector of an airbase and you can't get above 2k

The stuff fires and hits from just way too far.



FWIW... 3k is the  puffy hard deck

I can fly over a CV with B17s at 10K and not get hit by puffy ack, but i get nailed everytime it seems in a pony going 375mph at 15K. Diving or climbing, I can't get it off me until I'm on the deck. I don't get it. :huh

The accuracy of the puffy ack is absolutely ridiculous even if you aren't ducking behind mountains. or whatever. Countless people on here can attest to this.

I believe that I attested to the same.

Getting hit at 15k+ going 400 mph+ with puffy ack, while not unreal, just makes life very frustrating.

Well ... we wouldn't want you to be frustrated now would we.

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.

It DOES work.

Yes, this is the paradox, isn't it.

At the very least, puffy ack should be more accurate when targets are closer, and less accurate when they are further away.  As it is, distance does not seem to make a difference.

No, it doesnt. I tried to circle around CV in shallow dive/climb for several minutes. Got 6 hits :eek: Maybe it can decrease chances a little, but result still same.

Atleast, they decreased lethality of puffies, old acks blown me in pieces with 1-2 hits mostly :huh

Helm and I responded to "Strat targets".    CV is different as a lot of it is manned ack.

Flying formation last night with Kermit in a Yak-9u... Puff ack exploded infront of him (He was lead) and Took his engine out. 1/2 secong later I lost my main cannon... Same Puff ack explosion?

Rediculously accurate if so.
