Fokker, click on the link in my siggy called Aces High Training Films
Aces High Training Films
and select the first film. It narrates in the text box and shows an F4u deacking an entire medium field without a single AA hitting the F4U. Follow this guideline and you will soon again be enjoying jabo's in AH.

Incidently, the film is a conservative approach, and I am no means an expert in ATG, that designation would be Blitz, he can take down an entire field (AA) with two passes...in a P51D.

I think i am a little missunderstood here. I know it is possible. I have deacket a field myself many times by strifing.

When you know how the simulation (AI) works you can to a certain extent fool it and get by.

My point is to have som reality into it. And maybe also make it possible for those who dont fly as much as those you mention, who knows the AI and how to fool it.

Precisely

I think HTC creates a balance between gameplay and historical..if they made it completely the latter, than the 'Vets' would have every field shut down in a matter of minutes.

Not so sure about that Ripsnort. There are vets on all sides you know

Well, since beta, they've played with the acks alot. At one point, you couldn't even bomb one, it'd kill ya, then, it was toned to the point where 1-man shows were capturing all sorts of airbases(thus, my point of game play).

You still have to jinx as they did historically, and everyone will tell you to fly over the same field defended by ack more than twice was suicidal to say the least, not true in here, very easy to fly over it numerous times. I find it too easy in here compared to what I've read.

If anything, we need more strat elements to combine with the acks we have.

I agree that ack must represent a challenge and a real defence for the base. What gets me here is that it is easier to strife ack and get away alive then jabo with bombs and rockets.

Strifing I have fairly good control of AI and never need to fly straight. Jaboing I need a couple of seconds to aim bombs or rockets and then get away. That is the hard part. This ack only needs those 2-3 seconds of my aiming to kill.

The one man capture of fields is no argument because that is still possible. I do it ever so often. Then i sure use a buff for deacking, ditch and get in goons. The precision bombing in here makes that possible.

However, if the base is defended by other players it is practically impossible either way, as it should be.
