Ack only shoots at me!!!  The rest of you are having acid flashbacks from Nam

I thought it shoots at the closest threat
See Rule #4
Now I only pay because of my friends.

    Negative, Get close enough to a factory and get it honed in on you. Then fly beyond others that are closer. It will continue to target you until someone else gets within a certain range of it.

    For example lets say player 1 gets within a 5K radius, puffy ack starts targeting player 1.
Player 1 then extends to 12K radius. Player 2 is within lets say 7K Puffy will still target player 1 at 12K radius.
If Player 2 flys within 5K radius and player 1 is still 12K radius away, Puffy will then start targeting player 2.

    Get under 3K of Altitude and puffy will no longer shoot at you (AI Puffy that is)(manned from a CV can still get ya)

If it takes full power to taxi to the hanger, your gear is probably up.

Is auto puffy ack apportioned?  For example, if there are more attacking planes than ack do some planes get a free ride or does it fire at everyone even though there aren't that many guns?  In other words, if a lot of planes are attacking the CV does each plane take less puffy ack shots?  If so, how does it decide who to shoot at?

Not that I think it matters: I've never seen auto puffy ack kill anything, especially not bombers
