AA accuracy...

[dudedog]

To start I'll say I think the 88's are pretty good. However, I would like to see a little random error and dispersion in the 40m and 50cal AA fire. Note: this may actually make it harder to avoid AA as it wouldn't be a predicatable as it is now. I think it would be more realistic and also LOOK very cool.

The lighter calibre AA isn't all that accurate.  I've chased (and been chased) right along at hangar rooftop height and not get nailed.

On the flip side, I've seen a guy try to ack-drag me and turn away and get nailed: *hard*.  So I usually just fly straight through it.  I actually live longer    Barrel-rolls work really well.

Some days I can dive bomb and release at 2000' without a scratch, others, I get lit up hard before I even get below 8000' AGL.

Dunno how it works. Phase of the moon?

I'd like cycle rates on some of the .50 and quad 20mm's...I could understand constant fire from the .50 guns because of water jackets, but the 20mm ack would require barrel changes after such long bursts  

I'm not sure we even have small bore AAA guns anymore though, they all seem like 40mm and 20mm quad (the deadliest IMO)

traverse rate for the bigger guns is kinda high IMO, but ROF is right on as long as the gun is fully crewed...they could drop ammo blocks in there fast enough to keep a constant stream
