Chill..
You lost a plane to friendly puffy ack? Right after you lighten up the last b24s left wing what was looking for your boat? Were you doing 450+ at 15K and were pulling 5Gs when it happened? Was your plane a 262, by any chance?

Until then...                                                     i still agree with you

Would you follow an enemy into a mine field and expect the mines not to explode on you because they are "friendly"?

I would expect the bomber to get shot down...oh wait...bombers are imune to puffy

According to that logic, field auto-ack and the "Regular" CV ack should be the same way, no? And it's not. So it should be standardized.... IMO

All AI ack attacks the same way. They never aim at you (unlike real world, friend/foe identification is no problem for them), but if you get in the way and get hit, you take damage.

Well lets take a look at the Germans.  If I am right our Bomber Crews did not have to worry about German fighters on their bomb runs.  Why?  Because German fighters did not follow them into their own anti-aircraft fire.  They seemed to figure out one of Murphy's Laws or War.  Friendly fire is not friendly.

   Woah, woah, woah!  Making sense and telling truth about ack is taboo here!   Shame on you both.   Now, go piss into the wind.  You will accomplish more and get further.

Simply lesson, don't fly into it.

If only I had a dime...

Your statement is true only for manned AAA in the MAs.

This.  This is by far the best breakdown of why friendly ack should hurt friendly planes who venture in it.

Us grunts sure love when u help us understand this flyboy stuff

Question- how does AI work? Way I hear is the bogie is in the middle of a box that the AI fires into randomly, and size of the box is determined by a combination of the bogie's speed, G's, and distance from ack. Is that right?

And does the AI only target the highest bogie in range?
