I don't think we have ever had the pleasure of meeting in the MA so you wouldn't know that I wouldn't lift a finger to take a base 95% of the time, nor do I enjoy vulching. I don't like the 88's because I play Aces High to engage in cartoon aerial combat, not dodge little puffs of cartoon flak from people too scared to lift off the field because their poor Runstang won't have a 15k alt advantage.
*sigh*
I fly f4f/fm2s mostly, occassionally the ki84/ki43. I don't go over 8k unless buff hunting.
As of late, my computer has been fighting against me while in Aces High, and due to the 'hoard missions' in AH as of late, I get poor frame rate, and have to leave the arena. I only take up the 88mm when I deem it absolutely necessary (Hangars are down, vulching etc). I don't choose the 88mm to ruin someones day. I understand that, that player flown all this way (however far that may be) to find some sort of combat. However, if they get hit by my 88 round, they obviously flown in a way that made it easy for me to hit them. If they are in a fight, I will leave them be.
Please avoid using such provocative speech in the future, was totally unnecessary sir.
No, proximity fused rounds are grossly misused as a safe ground to run to. The strength of the 88mm guns, gameplaywise, is that it is almost impossible to hit a maneuvering fighter with them but with practice a bomber going straight and level can be hit. Currently I think it is a bit too hard so I'd like to see them remodeled as three or four gun batteries.
Point and click proximity rounds are much, much too potent and would have a catastrophic effect on gameplay.
Agreed, 5in is so easy to defend in. At least the 88 is a challenge
