Please dial down the puff ack and manned ack accuracy

[Ack-Ack]

It just sounds to me that the OP wants the acks nerfed so it is easier for him to loiter above an enemy base without fear of being hit.  I seriously doubt he got hit by a single puffy ack at 8,000 yards, unless someone like Kingpin was the gunner.

I do a great deal of attack runs.  In ah2 the odds of a lost engine on tthe 38 were good.  In ah3, getting blown up is more prevalent but it just adds to the game. Since field deacking is still common place in ah3,  I would not mind if the ack power was increased a touch.

Did puffy ack shoot when there was friendly fighters in the area...maybe by mistake sometimes but No ground commander would ever authorize that unless it was against a kamikaze or bombers...

So don't bring up real life vs in game.

I think the auto guns should be increased but the puffy nerfed to where it doesn't shoot if a friendly fighter is in the AO

Is it possible that he is talking a about the auto puffy at a huge field. Its new you know, and deadly.

Nope. He's talking about people skilled in gunnery with the 88mm flak gun, and the task group 5" AA guns.

Sigh.. don't come complaining when it starts happening to you guys. Bustr seems to have the liberal mentality that since I am able to actually get kills, I should be punished by cheap easy game play that instantly ruins my 30 minute sortie. If the enemy has a CV 3-5 miles of shore, I shouldn't risk getting 3K altitude in fear that my sortie will be instantly ruined, because I know how to get kills. Or if they have a CV 3-5 miles off shore, people shouldn't be able to easily get in a manned gum and snipe my Maneuvering fighter going 350knts out of the guy. Yup. Great game play. I'm sure it won't piss anyone off.

If it is so easy then lets see some films of you doing it.

That's right, I need to test the new 5inch battery object. I'm betting I just need to set a Fletcher class destroyer in the middle of the 4 mile tank gunnery range and give ownership of the destroyer to the airfield and the gun batteries will be active and available from the hanger. The players can shoot at the drones circling the airfield offline 7-8k away all day long until they perfect their aim...... 

Don't you just love all the tools Hitech created for us so we can build tools to make ourselves better at using the game functions he placed there for us to play with. Like dude, if he didn't want us to use them he wouldn't put them in his game.....

[bustr]

Dang it worked and you can choose gun positions from the hanger at the airfield to shoot at the drones. Still, I would have to experiment with a range of drone ownership circle. But, it works.......

[JunkyII]

Just because it's in game...doesn't mean it's good for the game. That's why we have a discussion board.

I don't have a lot of time to play when I get the chance so I like flying in planes and being apart of the fighter combat. If people are vulching me or are too close to the CV, I'll roll from another base or roll from that base and attempt to defend till the fight is even. That's what makes the game fun and challenging for me. I just think when people can easily shoot me picking their nose in the Flak gun, and I instantly tower being at least 5-8k away from the base, I lose the feeling of accomplishment and excitement as now I have to spend another 20 minutes getting back to the fight. Being right over the base and flying level over it is one thing, but blowing up a maneuvering plane from far away with one shot is frustrating.

You really should try those things before you are judging about how easy it is.
Because it is not. Shooting down a maneuvering fighter 5-8k away from a base, be it in a 88 or a 5", is a hell of an accomplishment. For most players, it's a one in a thousand shot.

If it's a one in a thousand shot for most players....why does the AI seem to make at least a damage on me every other time I stumble into puffy? AI shouldn't mimic average players or be worse.

Lusche what are the stats.  How many times has he been shot down by manned guns. It would be nice if it could be broken down by gun type, but I dont think that is possible.
