and again...

Just a few Flack 88's on the airfields... Most airfields would have some kind of puffy ack in WWII so why not in here?

Fields used to have puffy acks, people complained and now they're gone.

it would be like fighting over a cv all the time.


i think there should be a flak nest hidden somewheres around a field, that only reveals itself& opens fire once the ack is down on the field.(kind of like a last line of defence)

or maybe just give the Town flak cover.

but Flak over fields would get annoying quick. just go have a furball over a CV or city, and you'll know what im talking about.

Wouldn't mind if I didn't get the random "Poof straight to the tower" while being 10k at 450mph

     I'm not such a big fan of airfield puffy ack, but I would like to see some flak towers installed.  Would make de-acking
a bit more challenging  :D

my hats off to the guys that fly fly at 20,000 feet looking for bombers but the fields and towns need the 88mm the 90mm or the 3.7inch AA make them AI and only fire at 15K and over or man them and fire at any alt.

Umm, contrary to popular belief hovering over an enemy base scooping up cherrykills is NOT a furball. I know this goes against what almost everyone in here believes but it is true.

I like the idea of puff at bases I also think every single gun ( auto or manned) should start out as auto but could be manned if desired, this includes town! Whatever keeps the "uncontrolled teenage zitpoppin vulchers" at bay I am all for!


Bring on the base puff, make it mannable also  :D   :aok

I've never seen them on at the same time, just like you never see Clark Kent when Superman's around.

Yes to mannable 88's.
Yes to realistic puffy ack over airfields, towns, etc.
