Heh well the REAL problem is that in this "game" the Osti and the WW are VERY effective while in RL they were quickly discontinued in favor of a "truck mounted AA" which I think should replace the both Osti and WW.

Hitech has indicated that they have found the bug so expect .50 cal to no longer have any effect on them after next patch  ;).

so a B25C (or H) with 8 50.cal machine guns wont hurt a flakker highly unlikely

I have noticed that the ww and OSTIE can die to 50 cals I have had it happen to me in both vehicles personally and I have even strafed a couple of ww's to death with my 2 nose 50's in my 39 q if you come in at about a 50-60 degree angle and spam away at the top of the ww it poofs you pull up hard and try to dodge the ground.
hmm... maybe i got the wrong shot off then.

So that means that dropping from the top of the WW and spray it with eight .50 cal will not be possible on the new patch?  Or is this problem more of going on a shadow angle and killing it?

Back the way it was = You can drop & spray it, and you will kill the turret. Not make the WW go boom. :)
