We already have 8 dweebs in 5" puffy ack guns vulching enemy fields from 0.5 miles offshore, nailing laser-accurate rounds on fast moving dogfighting planes outside icon range from the fleet itself, including alts from the deck to 15k+
You want to make that 16 or more dweebs in 5" guns vulching from 0.5mi offshore?
Last night I was in a tempest and 3 tards in 5" guns followed me for 20 minutes around A16, I started at 16k, went down to the deck, back up to 12k, everything from just outside AAA on the deck to way out by the hill inland of A16, and no it wasn't AI. It was manned. Even when I went inland they were nailing me with shrapnel (cracked my front glass, holes in wings, etc). When the fleet was sunk all 3 landed kills because they were kicked out of their guns -- that's NOT counting the other ships in the fleet with 5" guns... oh wait, that's ALL OF THEM.
No more features that cater to dweebs in 5" guns. They ought to be disabled for players, and real puffy ack ought to be recoded from scratch. That would fix it. If, at any point in time, we reach that point, I'd even remotely entertain your idea.
