As far as I understand it, puffy-ack was dialed-up to help defend CV’s from bombers ruining good fights. It was a noble intention by HTC but it has had the exact opposite effect in my opinion. The bombers are not very affected by the auto-ack and the fighters stay away from the CV’s. When a CV is sunk the standard answer is “up and defend it”. I seem to recall Hitech himself saying that recently. Ok, we will up and defend it or shut up when they get sunk(okay, there will still be whines, but that is always going to be the case no matter what you do HTC). Same goes for the reduction in strats. If there is a shortage of ammo, fuel, etc it is because we didn’t do our job to defend it. That is what you want us to do right? Defend. Okay, then why program puffy ack into the game to do our job for us? I respectfully submit, why not take the puffy ack out of the game altogether?
It seems to me that same ack code is now going to frustrate good fights that could happen over this new strat area. If the base-takers hate the ack, the bomber drivers hate the ack, the furballers hate the ack, why keep it? It just pisses people off and adds a frustration to potentially good fights. Take it out and raise the subscription price to $20 a month b/c it will make the game 33% better than the current $15 game.
I hate griping about this right when this new, very cool strat feature has been added to the game but I see the puffy ack reducing the FUN that it could bring to the game. Remove the fly from the ointment.
