Puffy ack.
« on: May 27, 2009, 12:33:52 AM »
5.5 mile hit from a CV on a 400mph plane.    The ships were 9.8K away.  That means at least 10 seconds of flight between the 5" batteries and a 400-350mph fighter that's maneuvering perpendicular WRT the batteries.

Yeah... The puffy is a bit... TOO random...

My favorite is the first-shot-kill-shot that happens from time to time.

We would all be happier if auto puffy would do its *job* well and defend the CV from level bombers, and not pick off fighters.

There is a "wish" in there somewhere ...  ;)

It wouldn't be doing it's *job* if it only fired at bombers.

Puffy =  :mad: :furious

I utterly despise the puffy ack system in AH.  It is ridiculous.

No it wouldn't.  If it only did it's "job" like BnZ wants and fire at bombers only, then that means a fighter with eggs could easily get through and bomb the CV.  Then you'll start seeing thread whines about how the fleet AAA only fires at bombers and lets fighters through to bomb the fleet unmolested.

The fleet AAA is doing it's "job" already by firing at bombers and fighters.  However, how the fleet AAA does its "job" might need some changing.

That is why I suggest bomb laiden aircraft as a first priority.

Come to think of it..... In the last 3 years I don't think I've ever lost a bomber to the puffy............  But fighters, forget about it.
