Yet another example of ridiculous puffy ack

[Ack-Ack]

Sounds like to me people want it to be easier to attacks CVs.

In my experience auto puffy ack is no factor in CV survival. Just like in the tests 715 presented above, very rarely I do lose a bomber from auto puffy, and never ever I had lost two of them or the whole formation. When jabo'ing a CV, my losses to auto puffy are significantly higher, but still that low that it's no deterrent at all. The overwhelming majority of ack deaths come from manned 5", followed by small caliber auto ack.

I can only agree in regards to torpedo planes who I think have the worst chance of anyone in the MAs to reach their ideal drop point, otherwise I think CVs are pretty easy and doable for everyone to strike if they so want to or, at the very least, reach their desired drop points more often than not.

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

nope, b29 went down. i was at 28 k at edge of puffy... blew my wing off

I think Ack-ack nailed it. No puffy means there is no need for bombers because then anything can get through.

Besides. . . this is nothing more than a whine about not planning well. Bombers low enough to sink a CV are very easy to kill. If you are too busy furballing to see them coming from the base 25-50 miles away thats when you end up shooting them in the puffy.

I would accept a five fold increase in lethality to friendly fighters If I thought there was even a 50% chance the enemies bombers would be destroyed by puffy...right now its a joke , Bombers are immune. You virtually never see a organized Jabo attack on CV's anymore. Now its just some lone ranger tool bag upping from 3 sectors away in heavies to saunter through the ack and drop the boat. Bombers in the current dynamic are too much of a force multiplier vs a CV.

When I see puffy ack I usually make (made) sure that some other fool flies closer to it and gets it stuck to him
