wierd offline thing

[B-17]

At what alt do the 88mm start shooting? I've flown over 8 different types of base on 4 different maps in 4 different types of plane at 4 different alts (3k, 6k, 10k, and 20k) and I've still never been holed by puffy. What's the deal? Do they even work offline?

They are a manned gun, so they won't fire offline unless you get in one and fire it yourself.

You WANT puffy ack to shoot at you?


If you're just looking for puffy ack, go fly over an enemy fleet.  ( maybe you're looking for screenshots, or something? )

If you want a #@$!# load of ack, take the Japanese map ( I think ) that has, like, a bazillion fleets, clump them all together in the same place.. give them a circular course, then approach them from +3k alt.  A few years ago, we were in a scenario or fso or something.. there were 3 enemy fleets doing a whirlpool action around each other.. the ack was insane.

Suggestion.. go set ack lethality to .001 so it doesn't kill you.

I thought about doing that with B17s to simulate the spot where they crossed the coast.

Yep. It just adds to the suspense- "will I get hit or won't I"

It does make for some cool pics, though. I'll see about the Japan map... already surpassed the bandwidth limit for the month

I remember that lol. it was unbelievable

It must be luck, puffy ack is completely random, nothing is based on speed or altitude IIRC.

Doesn't the "box" that the ack shoots within widen/narrow as speed/alt/maneuvring changes?
