Town ack?
« on: December 16, 2010, 06:00:10 AM »
We were attacking a base this morning and every time we got all the acks down, they would all pop within 5-7 minutes. Which left us empty handed. Is the ack popping faster due to the change in the way towns are taken? Or am I just imagining things? Also, the ack seems super deadly now. I've had multiple one shot, one kill moments where I was flying past the town when the ack popped.

I might just be crazy, mad and a little tired, but I thought I'd bring it up. :lol

A combination of someone resupplying the base and your luck?

After thinking about it, I would agree that town ack seems a bit more potent.  We had several squaddies get one ping kills after the update.

It only happens at certain bases, a while ago, you couldn't get the ack to pop. I'll try to get video. No promises, though. It only happens at select bases every so often.

Town Ack has not changed. Only ack change is on the top of the flack tower in the city.

Ack can be restored quicker with field supplies.
AAA can be down longer by hitting the AAA Factory.

That must've been it. We've had guys go on HQ raids and taking down the AAA factories and everything else. This makes sense. Thanks, Hitech.

Just to be clear, town ack can be brought up quicker by dropping field supplys on the field, or do they have to be dropped in town in order to get town ack up faster?

I think you'll find that the square emplacements in town, around the edges,   are the slower firing ones and have a larger round than the circular fast firing auto acks. 

One critical hit from these and buh bye.   Usually they will only connect if your pretty slow flying right infront of the dam thing.

I've assumed they are auto soft guns the same calibre as player controlled ones.  I may be wrong.

Anecdotally?

Drop it in town as Field Supplies need to be dropped within 1/4 mile of the "field".

The smaller Hard guns appear to be quad 20mm and, as you said, the larger are the same as the soft guns.  40mm single?

It wasn't a huge round, it was one of the smaller rounds with the 4 shot bursts. I watched it (although with lag, anything is possible).
