Can pufy ack get turned down please

I see that sarcasm is lost on many of you . . .

I think the auto guns should act like the auto guns on bombers.

That is to say, if someone is manning a 5" gun, then the auto guns fire at the target he is firing at.

I have done a lot of 5" gunning and its frustrating to see the auto guns targeting the fighters as I try with futility to bring down the formation with my lone 5" gun.

There should be a deferential that checks whether a friendly is in the 5" gun in your logic path ahead of the targeting code. If-then check to see if the scope of the gun can intersect with the manned gun, if-then bring the auto gun to bear on the manned gun target, and lock the auto gun on that target unless or until the target is destroyed, out of scope, or a second manned 5" gun has a greater scope intersection with the auto gun at which point auto gun deference would shift to the other manned gun.

Any 5" gunner that has auto guns working with him would get the kill too...

That is my two cents.

It's not that

it's accuracy, it's way to accurate

Yeah ... that's what the Japanese pilots thought as they tried to fly thru the ack blanket too ...

HiTech, I was wondering if there was a coding explanation for why it seems puffy ack scores more hits on a fast fighter than it does on a slow bomber or slower fighter?


I want to emphasize SEEMS here, because it is only my observation, not a hard fact.

How do you know they said it if they were...well...dead?

My thoughts aren't that the puffy necessarily hits more but when ti does hit it tends to do more catastrophic damage.

Go to the DA and fly bombers in the bombing range through the puffy ack there.  There are, I think, eleven strats and you will probably be having at least half, if not more, firing at you at the same time.  You don't get hit much and when you do, it doesn't seem to do much damage to bombers.

A fighter in the same situation would probably go down very quickly.
