Perk points for 88 battery

[Tinkles]

ever been around smoker82's 88?

u wouldn't want to go after a bish base again if he got three guns per 88 pit...he already knocks 5 guys out before they get irritated enough and take the 88s down. He got me at ~10K one time - poof    

He kills ftrs, doesn't aim at the bombers from what I see

no, plz god no

get in a plane

Don't forget me    Have even gotten 999000 a few times. 

-1 to perked AA guns, but there are a few things I'd like to see.

1) I'd like to see mannable flak batteries at the strat and HQ along with the current AI ack.
2) I'd like to see a useable sight and ranging system to tackle the high-alt aircraft running 20-30k. as it is now shooting down buffs at an alt of 12k is about my max range (my record is currently D6.4k on a lancaster). This doesn't touch what the flak 88 is capable of.

I don't have a problem getting shot down by ack and i find gunning enjoyable when in a pinch. Its simply meant to be a point defense. Sure, if i see an enemy group coming with time to spare I'll up a plane to intercept. But when they're on top your field and you're sitting on the ground, would you really be able to intercept them before they make the drop? Of course not. AA guns are meant for point defense over fields and strats; if you don't like it then don't fly over them.

Agreed, no need to charge perks for something that doesn't earn perks.

I would also like to see mannable flak batteries at the strats, the 4 88mm 'quad' 88s would have a purpose there, and would justify having a slight perk price.  I also concur on the usable sight and ranging system. Very high bombers are extremely hard to hit, my record was a bomber at 31K, direct hit. That is the only bomber at 25k+ I have ever hit, and I'm a fairly good shot.

In my opinion, if you want the guns to cost perks to be able to use, then you have to allow perks to be earned in them as well. Because otherwise how would you determine what 'category' the perks were to come from? Bomber, Fighter or Vehicle, when it isn't any of the three?

Too many people hiding in field guns already. So a hundred times no.

Personally I don't care if you enjoy sitting in a gun, all field guns should be auto-ack only unless all hangars are down. They in no way create content for this game that is already low on content with the dropping numbers of players.

The pandemic has led to the other nations now too, I see rooks and some knights doing it too, Lord have mercy on them for they know not how much...

Jus messin Tinkles, I know you said you were waiting to get a new comp, I hope you did by now.

As I said in past, it would be nice to add a mannable gun or 2 to town

More about flak over enemy territory? 

Take some 29s over there a few times and come back with no complaints.

It seems for me that flak likes eating my hard earned perks but is picky when I come with B-17Gs or B-24Js.

   Burn your Center tank first.  It helps GREATLY.  Learned this one form Lusche I did.

"less mouse point and click, more stick wiggling."

translate:

"get in a plane, fight like a man"

This game is centered around air combat. Anything that detracts from that makes the game less good.
-1

I'm going to bomb vulch you on the runway now

I get out of 37mm field guns when people quit vulching fields.

98% of the time I am in a jug. So the comments of "get in a plane" are irrelevant. And not constructive to this discussion.  They serve only antagonize and usually come from the people who will bash any idea put on the wish list thread.

Take away the perk part of the idea. Maybe add 3 more spread out puffs of flak and make more minor damage happen.

I am fully awAre that some guys are really good in flak guns. Most are not. Flak also accounted for a lot of losses and associated damage historically.  I am just looking to get it tweaked a little.

Same here.

Another 2 months or so   



I am only in the guns when there are fighters incoming fast, either to pork or capture the base (similar to a bish 'hoard').  Or a salvo of fighters from a cv with high alt, coming to vulch a field.  Once the field is clear and I see a 'window' I take off in one of my preferred planes.

Don't worry, I'll make a new topic when I get my computer and 'show it off'

I like this response.

This isn't about my gunnery skills.  More about lack of realistic flak over targets and having the chance to manage minor damage in bombers .  I would get in them a ton more if wings and tails didn't fall off them from damage.
I can see the point of keeping the focus on planes And tanks.

a flak burst from a 88 is supposed to kill a plane

I recall reading that a blast from an 88 within 10 meters was fatal to a bomber.   That being said, is shrapnel coded into the game?  Or is it some kind of pulse wave thing?
