Puffy ack needs to go after 10 years of BS

[TEShaw]

Easy fix, Dont fly in puffy ack.

I find this a most sensible solution.

I avoid fights anywhere near water* just because some stupid obnoxious CV comes around the corner, surrounded by ugly black flies, like some filthy Charles Schultz character.

When it's one of those damnable oceans and islands maps I just log off.  It's a chance for me to catch up on C-SPAN 2 'Booknotes'.

*though I WILL check to see if there's any 5" skeet shooting opportunities

the box of ack rather than individual shells isnt really the problem for me, its the instant tracking which needs fixing. and it could be a fairly easy fix. my suggestion (which simulates the real director operation):

1. target designated, target location A (x_A,y_A,z_A) noted.
2. wait 10s, target new location B (x_B,y_B,z_B) noted.
3. wait 10s, ack bursts at location C, predicted from A and B (x_C,y_C,z_C) = (2x_B-x_A,2y_B-y_A,2z_B-z_A) and ack continues to burst along the predicted path.

etc.

I love puffy acks. They are so bastards!!!

Yestarday, I dove against a cv and I released my ords.

I sunk it. But the puffy (bastards) acks had the time to got ... my radiator !!!!
Generally, they reduce my plane in pieces. Not this time ... radiator was most sadic!

I ditched at 200 meters from the deck of the field!!!!!!

I was very slow, hit one little tree with left wing and I exploded.

Fly at 2900ft, when less then 10k from a CV pull straight up and see how long you live.

Puffy ack for cv groups seems relatively fair except:  when it fires through mountains and gets hits.

Puffy ack only targets the closest player which creates openings for everyone else to attack. This is very unrealistic but I can live with it not targeting everyone in range.

If your flying along and puffy ack starts poping and you keep flying into it you should be shot down. Last night night flying from A82 to attack A 83 puffy ack started I turned around droped tp 6000 found the CV called position and went on to A83. Dont fly in puffy ack.

agreed, but this is not the problem.

the problem is your flying along and puffy ack starts popping, so you make evasive maneuvers that even the most advanced WWII directors could not track, and you still get shot down.

That's not a problem, it's a random hit. If it happened every time it would be a problem.

maybe increase alt range to 4,000ft. or not.

This clown is just too crazy.

Yes, avoid CVs. That is the easy answer. The real answer is the programming is very wrong and needs to be fixed.

+1 a few times over on this.

I wouldn't claim the programming to be wrong it just needs a little tweaking in the ,  instant 1st ping hits you from 20k away at 3.01k doing 400mph+ in a fighter.

don't get me started on the whole chase a bad guy and you take all the pings.   I thought Killshooter was turned on!!

Three years absent cause of the puffy? That's some powerful ack.
