its been a decade of the worst block altitude instant aim correction nauseating constant rate popcorn ai puffy flak.

I do not fly in areas where it is located as the removal of enjoyment created by being in areas where this code is in effect is greater than the fun to be had by flying there on either side.

please recode this item as it is one of the very few tragic elements in the game that has not been redone to somthing realistic or even remotely effective at stopping slow formations of level bombers from a free cv kill but will consistantly destroy maneuvering fighters (often friendly ones) far from the carrier that are no threat.

somthing as confined as the ww1 arenas puffy flak that is only active above the airfield but not next to it would be a welcome change.

Puffy ack = ludicrousaccurate,hideousrange

(HiTech reads and chuckles to himself while coading LESS accurate and shorter range ack but DOUBLING the number of guns....while listening to Sinatra's version of "I did it myyyyyyyyy wayyyyyy!!!")

I streaked a M4 down a steep hill in a run to the enemy city/strats and ended up rolling it.

While I spent 20 minutes rolling down the huge hill, puffy ack exploded around me..........yet nothing hit.

I can fly over at 450mph at 30,000 feet in a wildly turning fighter and puffy ack hits me 4 times per minute.

Puffy ack is strange.

Did Ahab complain when he hunted the white whale ? Knowing fully the danger of the beast's puffy ack ? Nope! He went out and threw his harpoon anyways.

Hunt the AH white whale and be prepared for the puffy. It must be even puffuer now cause the CVs seem to last longer. Even the Rook ones whose members swore an oath to never,ever take out ords at enemy bases near it.

it should be suicide to fly into the path of CV puufy ack alone.  Same goes for the industrial complex. 

What is the issue again???

Of the 1000's and 1000's of ack shots that miss... we get a few hits and the cries of bloody murder abound! Sometimes the ack does its job.

I think that HiTech himself explained how the auto ack worked.  Something like it is programmed to hit in a random area of a box around its target.  The faster the target the larger the box. 

I think a lot has to do with the game play and abuse aspect of how players use and attack fleets and maybe strats (the latter I believe is just an elevated risk level for attacking high profile targets, ie strats). 

Although, I am so feeling the same way about avoiding the stuff, it is just another one of those things like lancstukas, spawn camping, tool shedding, etc... that exists because no better solution for their removal has hit the developers.
