Puff ack
« on: December 05, 2009, 04:09:54 AM »
Please raise the auto puff ack from 3k to at least 5 or 6k. Its kind of hard defending a base when the puff ack is killing more people than the horde is. I personally think 3k is a bit low. But thats my opinion as a defender against hordes.

Or turn down its sharp shooter accuracy. Its like flying in starwars in the WW2 era

And your alt cap should be moved down to 15k....we got fuel to burn :t

How is it that you consistently fail to see the bigger picture?   :headscratch:

I'd be ok with this so long as the ack wasn't of the super sharp auto variety ie all your ack guns must be manned by a player or they don't fire  :lol

I think forcing CVs to be a certain distance from the shore would solve the problem better then raising the puffy ack cap.

Quote from: Pyro
Increased the distance of how close CV groups can be brought to land.

But I have yet to see how close that new minimum distance still is. I hope not longer being picked off by manned 5" ack right after taking off ;)

Puffy ack fires through mountains, and is great at shooting down small fighters but can't protect a task group from a bomber formation.  For my part, the bigger picture is that puffy isn't up to the standard of the rest of the game, and so should be removed completely until a rework.

Although it was a great idea on HTCs part to do that. But puff ack is still a major issue when defending against a CV. You cant get over 3k, and if you do your chances of living is cut by more than half. You have to stay below 3k and be nothing more than bait for the pickers

I can take a 262 to 20k fly over a CV at 550 mph and die almost every time (or sustain major damage). I can take lancs over a CV at 250 mph at 7 to 10k and never be hit. Ive done it too many times to know
