Flak 88 revisited

People that snub their noses at GVs & only fly planes because they think it puts them in some higher class are missing half the game. Their $15 though.

Well they think that it was just supposed to be a fly simulator rather than a war simulator. They view that since its name is Aces High that it should only have planes.

 I honestly don't see how they could hate tanks GVs or AAA, they have all been saved and killed by them.

Thus my sig. You can do anything that you are a victim of in Aces High.

I'm not sure why, but I couldn't hit crap with the old gv sights so I stayed in the air.
Once they were re-worked I found I was a killer

met new players and had more fun

snub their noses?  With what they post, looks more like they are trying to dictate how the game should be played to me.

There is two speeds for rotation of the 88's in real life.

"Time to traverse 360 degrees"
     High gear  33.90 sec
     Low gear   69.79 sec
Guess what gear we have.

Plus the ground target sight had a 4X zoom. OMG It had a real ground sight as well.

The auto puffy has always been one of the games biggest flaws.

If we get an overhaul of the FlaK system, number one thing I want to see happen is have an actual shell fired, instead of the bursts just spawning around you. As it is now, evasive maneuvers are useless, because there is no  aiming, and no shell to dodge.

Are you trying to say that you can't see in the coming 88mm shells now?  They are there, go F3 view sometime and get that sinking feeling like those of us who watch those things come up and say "hi".  Also, are you trying to say that you'd jink and weave your heavy bombers loaded with fuel and ordnance in evasive maneuvers?  The only thing you can do is gently turn to force them to correct on two vectors.  I beg to differ on the "no aiming" thing, I know I have to certainly aim and try to hit bombers as they fly over a field.  The only 88mm I've actually ever dodged was while I was in a light fighter and all I did was immel and split S 3000 yards out while the jabos ripped the field apart.

He was talking about auto puffy ack. Which indeed does not have any actual shells flying around.
