CV Puffy Ack

[ToeTag]

Baumer really cool stuff.  My only point is that if I'm in a bomber and flying straight and level I under stand the lethality big targets flying in a predictable manner.  As it has been pointed out that in buffs you can get in close with limited damage.  I have done this on regular occasion with great succes. 

In a fighter bobbing and weaving puffy ack seems to be more effective regardless what wild manuvering you try to do. 

In buffs is the target box bigger than the box surrounding a small fighter?  I.E. same amount of guns spread across a larger box because of a larger target?  If so could the puffy ack box atleast be increased to the size of the bomber ack box for alittle more consistency?

Just for accuracy, the box drawn around your aircraft varies in size by your speed, the number of Gs currently being pulled, and distance from the gun. The latter generally being why buffs don't get thwacked so easily.

The concept applies to all auto guns. Puffy fires above 3,000 feet and is unhindered by terrain.

There's a very important sentence missing between the two sentences above.

Congrats.

Seriously, though; random chance is just that. The box could be the size of the map and it still would have a chance of killing you within the first two volleys.

The smaller, faster and more nimble, the more likely you will be hit, it's not accurate, but it is virtual reality, for whatever reason

You have that backwards. Keep in mind that people fly in fighters much more than bombers, so the "It always happens to fighters" feeling is increased. Bombers are also stronger AND people expect to be hit in a bomber and just shrug it off, whereas fighter jocks get pissed.

"Fighters get hit more" is just a psychological result.
