Can pufy ack get turned down please

[Spikes]

I'm flying a Tempy below 3k cause there's a cv around. I am about 5-10 miles from the CV at least. I pulled up to shoot a con and as SOON as I hit 3.1K a volley of puffy ack gave me a pilot wound.

That's about as realistic as it gets out there mate.

I swear to god Temps are puffy ack magnets, anytime I'm in one in the same sector as a CV I lose it.  Hell, I even took a rad hit from a friendly CV a couple months ago.

There's definitely something. I've never had that happen to me before except now. The sad thing was there were other friendlies over the CV, above 3k, taking no ack.

Last month I was diving down in my 262 to attack a set of KI-67s that happened to be flying near (not even attacking) a friendly ammo factory.  As I fired on and destroyed a KI, I hear this loud pop and was instantly sitting in the tower.  I had been head-shot and instantly killed by friendly puffy ack.  Bogus bogus bogus.  And don't even get me started about the 262 I lost to a CV's auto-puffy when I was probably at least 7 or 8k out from it, going like 450 knots in a course that was 90 degrees away from that CV.

Rumor has it that Puffy ack is "randomized."  Meaning that the chances of it hitting you while maneuvering is greater than the chance of getting hit while in level flight.  Whether this is true or not, I have no clue.

Bogus bogus bogus.

While it is aggravating for sure, it's not bogus.

I have lost thousands of perks from lsoing 262s to CV puffy, its riciulous.

BoB08 i got blown out of the sky in my Emil by puffy when on auto climb.

That's the one spreading the rumor:

It becomes less acturate based on your speed,how much your turing, and how far away you are. But less accurate does NOT meen you cant be hit.

The puffy ack always shoots at the highest aircraft available, to the point of taking out a high maneuvering fighter while ignoring slightly lower buffs making a bee-line for the carrier. Many players can verify its relative lack of effectiveness or interest in buffs. The only conceivable reason I can fathom that the puffy ack has not been changed is delight at making players so frustrated as to tear their hair out.

Ahh -- so that explains the bald guy in your avatar!

Like I said I had no idea, that's just what I was told the other night when I was griping about puffy ack on range.

What is the distance on the puffy ack anyway, man they shoot sometime I can barely see the CV and I still have puffy act shooting around me.

Real World: According to http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNUS_5-38_mk12.htm the 5"/38 Mark 12  firing the AAC Mark 49 shell had a max horizontal range of ~17k yards and an AA ceiling of ~37k feet

I wish HTC would make the puffy ack just like it was about a year ago.
