True now after hitech fixed an epic bug a 6 months ago.

Which one would that be?

There was a bug that was causing the puffy ack to shoot at more than just the closest aircraft.

all good sources :aok

another discussion about this with some pics: http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,291851.msg3722883.html

so now you've had a look at the Mk 37 operation what do you think?

I think a lone enemy aircraft had a pretty good chance of being shot down. Even if it was stunt flying toward the fleet. Multiple inbounds? Each had a better chance but not to the degree you've claimed.

I think he means that the CVs were putting up max ack towards EVERY fighter, regardless of distance.

FLS the occasional hit is fine its the 80%+ hit rate that's annoying, and it seems to me if your in a perk ride your as good as dead.


Puffy doesn't hit me that often but I'm sure I'd be annoyed if it did. I do believe you're exaggerating for effect.   :D

That was never a bug. But it could on rare occasion shoot at more then 1.

You can't get rid of puffyack.  That's warbeasts squad.
If I had a gun with 3 bullets and I was locked in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, Saddam and Zipp...  I would shoot Zipp 3 times.

Getting hit 2 out of 3 times this tour already doesn't indicate a problem but I'm sure it's frustrating for you. It's in the nature of random events that they will not occur regularly. When you flip a coin it doesn't alternate heads and tails. The average from 100 sorties would be a better indicator.
There is nothing random about it. I get every time the magic flak box targets me, usually 2-3 times, and more than half the time I get hit on the first salvo. Anyone who actually flys knows this. It's been a joke for years and apparently will never be changed. So I guess we should all just run and hide from CVs with Bolt. I'm sure there's a radar that needs porked somewhere anyway.

You're just special. It's random for everybody else.

Sheet, Slash. I always took you along when we were headed into enema fleet ack cause you was my ack magnet. I shoulda bought you more beer. Now, when and where do I correct that oversight?  :D
