Which planes do you fly into puffy?

Jug
Corsair

...and I've seen N1K2's tool around in it as well.

Puffy should be reworked, period.  As far as the 5" from the OP, the beginning and end of the conversation should be "is it how it worked IRL?"

Tumor is right, that's how 5" works. There are no actual shells flying, but there's a box around the enemy plane in which the burts will explode randomly. The size of the box depends on speed and the amount of g the plane pulls.
While the puffy stops shooting at an enemy once a plane friendly to the ack will get to 1k or closer, this friendly can still be hit by his 'own' puffy ack when he's at the very limit of that distance. It's just unlikely.

Good and thanks, Lusche, for your recall and for couching it in the same language you used initially. You puzzled me with your earlier assertion - but apparently did not forget (either).

You fly into puffy ack purposely? Lol

Kinda hard to dive-bomb a CV from outside Puffy... aint it?  I mean, I can sling a bomb a long way, but that's ridiculous.

You dive into CV ack purposely believing you can sink a CV with a fighter?  You're dismissed lol.

[PJ_Godzilla]

Dismissed? No, he's Tumor, and he's pretty good in-game, from what I've had the misfortune of seeing.

I might change my handle to "Chancre".

Did I say that?  I know that most players don't think any further than the path of least resistance.  I'm not one of them.

You might also change it to buttout.

I was interested in how you fly in game.  That is all.  Now I know that you will never, ever complain about ack accuracy because you purposely fly into it with little or no chance of singular success. To know it and do it anyway isn't smart.  It's not about least resistance...it's about the possibility of success.  To me.

No need to get all testy now....  I don't recall this being a private conversation.

You want me to fly ~your game~.  Good luck with that.

I might, but not until I draw a little heat.
