Puffy Ack
« on: August 19, 2009, 12:42:15 PM »
Anyone know if the lethality of the auto acks was increased?  There is clearly more of it - burst wise, but did the chances of getting hit and damaged by it also increase?  In my experience, it's been really nasty since the update.   :(

That would be a resounding YES!!! And as much as I hate losing an engine from the puffy after a few "pops" it does make the game much more realistic and challenging. ( Of course I do think my favorite ride the " Hog" is too susceptible to losing an engine ) :rock

I hate puffy ack. That said, it does what its supposed to do and I appreciate that. Make lone jabo runs on a cv intersting. Time to modify tactics and treat the puffy ack with some respect.

The Leathality didn't increse, just there is more of it to hit you.

I've been trying to get this addressed for a while. The Corsair's engine is absolutely made of glass.

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Sorry you are correct, I meant to post that there was a lot more of it, with greater range and accuracy it seems. Great catch.

Puffy ack should be removed from the game until it no longer fires through mountains.

The way the puffy is set up is the #1 reason why you can't criticize folks for sinking carriers, despite how it ends the fight. A close #2 is genius "strategists" on CVs doing THEIR best to end the fight by shelling down the hangars.

ROFLMAO!!!  :rofl



Anyone who complains about the puffy ack needs to settle down and grab another twinkie...there is more of it...and the bursts look slightly bigger than they did (or I suddenly developed fish eye)...haven't seen the "through the mountains bit yet"...it's fairly easy to get through...so what's the big deal?

A night or two ago i was telling my Squad Co about how bad it was to pony's as we where a ways aways from a enemy CV then one minuet later one burst i was in tower.I so hate it,i don't mind being killed by another player,cant stand AI killing me.I would not say anything about it as puffy Ack in real life is a killer,but it happens to me so much,i don't fight anywhere near a enemy CV or i die.For now on when there is a enemy CV attacking my base i don't defend that one any more

I have to admit that I can stand it more now than I used to.  It's way worse and has ruined more fights recently than it used to, but at least now it does it in style :D
