puffy ack over land.....

[Nemisis]

We have mannable puffy ack on ships, why not over land? can't be any worse than it is on ships... I mean ships have quad 40mm's, 20ms, and multiple 5" guns. It can't be any worse for the planes. And if HTC doesn't want to have to add them to every base in every map, there were towed models used both sides. I wish for either the American M2 90mm, the Italian Cannone da 90/53 90mm, or the German '88. As it turns out, the Italian gun was better than the german's 88.

Dear god no.

[Nemisis]

why "Dear god no."?

[Chalenge]

Well I dont remember reading any accounts of manned 5" guns waxing airplanes on an attack mission but primarily I am against it because I like people actually engaging near an airfield and not running away from them. The 5" guns should stay right where they are as defensive weapons for a vessel that intentionally moves into harms way instead of defending every possible point on the map.

There are autopuffy guns in the strat targets.

Dear god no.

Perhaps we can have it at the HQ

Yes, but really they can't match the accuracy of manned guns. I've been shot down by the autopuffy like 3 times total. How about we add the italian 75mm gun for 40perks if your all so worried?

Dear god no.

+1.  I can't see how this would in any way improve the game.  You think ack runners are bad now?

[Nemisis]

No I really don't. Maybe I'm weird, but except when in a goon, or when flying gunship mission, I have no fear of ack. I've rarely been killed by ack, even the puffy ack on ships. Usually I drop my bombs, fly off, and get shot down by a BnZ'ing C-hog.

Well then you have a more pleasant experience than most   It still doesn't answer what this would do to improve the game, though.

I would say that if you've only been shot down by puffy 3 times, you haven't played much.

Believe it or not, some people still play this game for the fight...the absolute last thing we need is yet another "feature" that discourages aerial combat.

Ok then. never been killed by ack of any kind much though. Oh sure, on strafing runs when I screwed up, and didn't see the second wirb, but other than that, no.

Try flying a fighter anywhere near a carrier above 3K.

Towns used to have puffy ack in earlier AH versions..
