It would be, if you had any way of knowing it was approaching unless someone ups a plane from it.

Always seemed kinda silly to me that a lone PT boat 12.4 miles out will flash the base but a whole CV group 200 yards offshore (sometimes parts of it even sailing right across the land) won't.



See my wishlist thread. :D

Flying at 24K in a 109 over the vastness of the ocean on my way to an enemy base and was killed by a direct hit from Auto Puffy ack, from a CV I couldn't even see. Just ridiculous.

While I'm at the "flack" rant, the manned 5" is also a joke.  20,000 power telescopic zoom, and no recoil, makes it easy for folks to snipe fighters from 5K and beyond.  Really? 3mile sniping shots? Could a flak gunner even see planes from 3 miles away? When the guns are manned, a dead zone around the CV exists, the size of half a sector.

Gamey, and unrealistic, and a fun killer.

I seem to be the odd man out when it comes to the puffy. Umm... :bolt:

whenever a group of us are flying around a cv, no matter how high or far, I always get nailed.

This is the best interpretation of the puffy ack I can surmise. (I posted this a while back if it looks familiar)
