I'm not sure about the auto ak (yellow tracers) but staying below 3000' above sea level will keep you out of the CV puffy ak.

And second, bomber drones are by some unknown reason (glitch? bug?) immune to puffy ack, only the lead bomber gets hit.

After reading your post I went an looked, yes there is a bug causing this.

I expect skyrocketing B-29 losses over the City in the future  :evil:

With the current bug, my B-29 loss rate to auto puffy over the City/old industrial complex was at about 3.3% (or about one bomber every 10 missions with formation)
Now that the chance of losing one should about triple, things are going to be more interesting  :aok

I honestly swear I've lost drones over a CV.  No kill awarded to anyone. :headscratch:  When I've lost a drone over a cv, it was from someone in the 5" guns (I would see the kill msg in text).  Only twice do I recall not seeing anything in the text buffer after losing a drone. :headscratch:

Well, I for one welcome this.  :)  Except the losing of B-29's.  That I won't welcome as much. lol

I'd be very interested to see the results of that and if the rate really does triple.  :aok

I'd like to see the bomber drone warp fixed. There's gotta be a better way to handle the lead bomber's maneuvers.

it's entirely possible that the gunner's gun got destroyed before your drone died, he exited the gun, etc.

Also, if you are in a 262, you will be PK'd the first burst before you know you are anywhere near a CV.

no true. the other day a base was being hit by 2 CVs  1 from due east 1 for SW every time id cross 3K id get scared but i never got hit by it. I only killed 3 but i caused the death of many. we played a little dope on a rope and everyone bit on my 262 :)
