Okay, now my turn to complain!!

Make the ACK indestructible and more accurate in the DA.

[Banshee7]

or you could do that

[A8TOOL]

up the damage caused by ack, keep Temps in the DA because not everyone abuses its use, disable bombers from the DA, and make the down time for objects faster

Upping damage will prevent anyone from coming close to the base and sometimes you have to get close.


keep Temps in the DA because not everyone abuses its use Same thing was probably said about the jets...I'm glad they are gon from the area too.

Bombers are part of the DA. if a geek wants to fly all the way to the Lake with one let him. They die quick for no reason.

Down time makes sense for that area alone.

While were talking/whining about the DA they should enable the IL2,tbm,sbd,a20,stuka and c47

they use to be...we had some cool JU88 fights back in the day

Ever think that there might actully be a problem with the current ack system and how it shoots through mountains etc..?

Yes, but if HTC tones it down, you'll be right back here on the boards complaining about how it's too vulnerable.

Personally I wish he'd ban the guy from DA.

It would be nice if HTC would post up an Arena Message with some simple DA rules. ex:

1. Bombing and/or De-acking bases is not allowed.
2....
3....
4.... 

( I can't think of anything else because this is the only thing that's really gotten me mad so far.)

I wish they would have 300 mph wind blowing straight down at 10k in the furball section. 8k is probably as high as you need to go if you intend on fighting, but seems like the furball area is half full of nothing but pick dweebs. It never stops amazing me that a single con will be getting ganged by 2 or 3 and then 4 more will join in.

Yea, I'd like that, but 10k wind would be hard to model in only one place as there is the high alt bases. It just seems that in Febuary, the DA was full of fun fights, but after 5 months, it's what it is now. I cant go up a Hurri 1 to actually furball. I'll get picked by the dweeb lurking in Space above my Base.

Eh.. grab a b26... you get above everyone... WAAAAAYYY above them xD

I had a noobnight with a couple of friends a bit ago, and we bombed ackack, not for vulching, and if someone does that to you guys, do what my squad used to do...

We call it a 'Rape and Pillage'

Switch countries and go vulch them till they finally leave ;]

make it where your ack kills you like it actually would in real life.  You never HAVE to get close to ack, thats your dumb decision to follow a runner into the ack.  And if you follow a runner that long you are suffering from target fixation, b/c there is usually many more targets to choose from in the middle of the lake.

keep Temps in the DA because not everyone abuses its use Same thing was probably said about the jets...I'm glad they are gon from the area too.

There is NO reason to take Temps from the DA when you can do the exact same picking and running in different aircraft.  There ARe planes that can catch Temps, especially on the deck (where most fights are in the DA)

Bombers are part of the DA. if a geek wants to fly all the way to the Lake with one let him. They die quick for no reason.

Why are bombers part of the DA again? If bombers have a part in the DA then so do jets.  Whats the point in taking bombers up in the DA?  If it's because "I can actually see when i destroy targets" then take a trip to the TA and you'll see some changes made

Down time makes sense for that area alone.

Really? last night the CV was hardly visible. The very first single puff took out my radiator while turning onto a CON at 300mph approx 8k alt, 2nd,3rd burst hit again no damage, 4th burst took out one aileron before I was finally able to dive under 3,000ft and later ditch.

Similiar story yesterday.  Two of us flying at +/- 9000' and approximately 8k from the carrier.  Maybe furthur as it was barely visible.  Travelling at 300+.  My buddy took 3 hits over a period of 20 seconds although no critical damage.  I took one hit from it that took out engine, oil, and radiator instantly.  It would have been less annoying if we had been after the carrier but in this case the carrier had spawned at one of those ports that are really large airfielfds but still spawn carriers.  There was a furball near the base that was the true target.

oh i hate those nerds

I've tried it and gotten 1 CV kill from 6k away. Was really hard and it took me a long time, and I never use the CV ack guns, so if it's someone who uses it regularly, it would be easy, very easy.

[Vudak]

The DA in general needs some major coading/revision and perhaps a new map to truly get the most out of it.  Having killshooter on really handicaps the place for those who play nice and doesn't stop people who are impolite from being idiots.  Of course, with the furball area what it is today, I don't really know how you could turn killshooter back off ever again, which is a shame, IMO.

Mods would also be a great addition, but I kind of doubt HTC would be for that idea for various reasons...
