Stupid Puffy Ack

Okay, here this guy is, a high altitude in a maneuvering fighter without ords and puffy ack one-shot, one kills him! The carrier is not even within visual range! Furthermore, there are enemy fighters lower and presumably closer to the CV. Presumably it would still have flamed him to the exclusion of say, some torp-laden Ju88s on the deck. Does this make ANY sense to ANYONE?!?!?

imo the ack and guns are too accurate from cv's and the ships. but thats my may only be me who thinks it.

I lost a wing off my tempest recently because of deadly puffy ack.  And I was moving around to avoid it too.

I seem to get hit more when I am farther away from the cv. Seems more accurate on the fringes of the ack than when over the cv. The higher and farther out I get the more I seem to get hit. Just thought the older ack (the ones in the air the longest) liked me more.

Speaking from my experience over the last few months, I would say HTC certainly doesn't want this sorry cartoon airplane anywhere near a CV.

Something I found odd was a strat on a plateau that must of been higher than 3k was shooting at me on the deck. Thought puffy didn't fire at targets below 3k? This one has me a bit confused;
A. I was below 3k
B. it was on a plateau, there was no way it could realistically fire at me.

I hate being hit with that stuff but luv to man the 5 inch guns. Busted a 262 from 5K out a few months back. That was one pissed off dude and i got pms for 10 minutes

I was in a 109F4 mixing it up with 2 D hogs nice swirling mess from 15k and dropping, and then out of nowhere I see a chute.. one of the hog drivers bailed.

Finally the other guy got me( ) , I PMd him asking him what happened to his buddy.  "puffy got his wing"

that's pretty ridiculous IMO, it was a close quarters maneuvering fight.     accuracy arguments aside, puff ack should not even be firing at cons when friendlies are RIGHT THERE (within 2.0 or so)

To me it seems the smaller the eny of a plane the more accurate the puffy ack is.
Fly a tempy close to a cv above 3k and your more then likely gonna die.
After you die...fly a p40...pinged me a couple times but never got any damage.

On the other hand....I still think cv's are still too easy to sink.
One flight of ar234's with good hits and cv is down.

Maybe lightin up on ack accuracy and double the amount of ord it takes to
sink a cv??

I've been in many fights above an nme CV (1 on 1 or 2 on 1) and their puffy shoots them down. I remember a fight a couple of months ago where I was in a 2 on 1 above a nit CV, their own puffy shot down both cons before I could get a shot on either of them, the entire time it's shooting at me...was funny.

You guys think it's annoying in the MA's, try having half of your squad shot down by puffy at 20K, in a 1 life event. (BoB'08)

Their are Major problems with puffy ACK,and I'm not going to go into it all but,I don't ever mind someone shooting me down but i cant stand being killed by a computer.

[Anaxogoras]

Puffy ack is so fubar it should be removed from the game until it is overhauled.

[SmokinLoon]

I think the puffy ack is about right.  It should be devistating enough that if any single aircraft gets within range it should be dang near suicide.  Once 2 or more aircraft start attacking then the probability for each to survive just increased.

Why is it that I can fly bombers over CV and never get hit, but can almost guarantee I will while flying a fighter?

THIS is the problem.
With bombers, on the other hand, I feel that puffy ack is no where near lethal enough...
