Author Topic: 1.03 ack and M16 more deadly? (Read 179 times)

Is it just me or is ack and M16 fire much more deadly?

Two pings from long distance took down my 109 when I flew past an M16.

One or two ack hits rip off wings.

They're also fairly accurate now, compared to what they used to be (the ack).

Is it just me or has something changed?

I found the ack to be much less potent in 1.03. I was able to kill several by strafing, sometimes two in one pass.

The ack may have been the 20mm ack, which apparently is at every base now (Udie says!)

The ack seems about right, like I could ever possibly know the difference.

IMO the ack is no more accuate since 103, but if you do get hit you take more damage.

The ack most frequently misses, once you learn how to confuse the AI.

Change your tactics...

Good Luck!

I havent notice any difference in ACk strength, But i was flying a p47 thinking ill give the m16 a fast straffe. Well the end result was,i lost both wings at the wingroot on my p47 to the m16? Now this i found odd for a plane know to fly low & take massive amounts of hit from .50s & 40mm shells.

Dog out........

I have attempted to adjust the ack/ground auto gunner down in the arena adjustments when in H2H and nothing happens really. It is just as deadly as always. Don't know whats up with the flak. Seems like sometimes its there with black puffs up to like 18K and sometimes non-existant.
