Sorry but... Puffy Ack Question:

[RTHolmes]

I think it must lock a new target when you go out of range - ive heard the usual puffy cursing on range when I go to 2900' - and it definitely reacquires when I pop up again.

Yes, it's as if you've been marked by the robot gunner, like it has a grudge.  When you go below 3k it shoots at someone else out of convenience, and then, a minute later, when you go above 3k it recommences the persecution of its favorite target regardless of proximity.

More ack was added to CVs because it was so easy to sink them, however the biggest threat to CVs are still high alt level bombers. I think that HTC should do something so that AAA targets larger targets first, this would have been real to RL as well because they would be seen first

I think it's more of a case that the ack has a problem with me rather than vice-versa.  I've always felt persecuted by the ack, as if it gains some sort of pleasure from targetting me target me.

Here's a couple of sorties from this afternoon.  In the first one you witness the ack snipe me, during which, i'm sure there's a trio of b24's about to bomb the fleet.  In the second you witness a gunner open up when i hit 3000ft- I have a mental image of a ack gunner just waiting for me to hit 3000ft and screaming "SURPRISE! c*** f*g!" Team America style.

Yup, I'm gonna post a thread with this, but I have something similar, switch film to flight lead magoo1, or press the 9 key on the KP and watch as the ack ack comes *about 5:20*

A little background info on this.

The 78th FG and the 4th FG were working together, my flight lead had to go afk so I hooked up with the 4th FG's Red Flight, we took off on an air patrol, and leveled out at 18k... on the first burst, puffy ack took out flight lead.
