Right click on the + and - icons on the top pf the clipboard (or use the = and - keys on keyboard) to zoom in or out on the map. Right click on the map to turn off any icons or information if your want to reduce some clutter on the map. You can "grab" the map and move it around by pointing cursor at some blank area of the map and hold left click on your mouse.
De-acking is a learned technique, like anything else in the game. Expect to be shot up.
- start at the outside of a field and don't go straight across the entire field.
- stay fast and descend toward the ack in relatively shallow angle. "Walk" your rounds into the ack.
- a small burst of cannons will destroy the ack. Don't wait for the graphics to show the explosion, move on to next ack.
- stay low and fast on your egress from the field until far enough away to climb out and reverse for your next run.
