please turn down auto ack/eliminate half of the guns on all fields.

not fun flying to enemy base and get shot by auto gun, came to play with real people.

point two, real people dont sit field guns to shoot at stupid people that fly to enemy bases.  please reduce manable guns and count man gun kills with reported name of dead guys in gun.  Any other way to limit man gun lameplay would be appreciated.

point three.  nerf the auto guns, all of them.  stop the perfect puffy, end the laser guided computer controlled surface to air ack missiles.

that is all. ty

end,

Yes, real people sits in manned guns, that's why they are called manned...
And as for auto guns: they aren't that hard to Dodge, you just need to learn how to do it.

Flying around an enemy base should not be without risks and I think it is nicely balanced already.  If anything, in my opinion, it is too lightly defended.

Auto ack is way less lethal in here than irl, we can deack a Town or v-base without too much trouble while irl strafing a AAA gun from a plane would be an almost certain Death.

+1 for manned gun kills.  If they can land em and get their name in the lights, they should sink with the ship when the gun is destroyed and they were in it.

De-ack the field.  If I chase someone to their ack, the ack goes.

-1 for turning down the ack

If you learn how to jink appropriately, it should miss you most of the time.  Yes, I still get caught by it sometimes, but I don't want to make the ack totally ineffective.

He just wants to make it easier for him to vulch, it's a rather selfish with without any attempt to improve the game play.

You see about one maybe two good de-acking workings over of a field when a base assault is in it's beginning 30 minutes. After that, depends on the squads involved, while Waystin loves de-acking so he can vulch with the 37mm. Especially if POTW is serious about trashing a field. You can tell the elapsed time age of a base assault by how willing anyone is to de-ack versus circle to vulch and pick as a pack. And how clustered and low the uppers are to the proximity of the ack to get them killed.

I can understand being solo against an individual hiding in his ack, gets frustrating hoping he will come out and his freinds stop shooting at you. As for a base assault with a group circling waiting to pick with a group circling trying to sucker them into the ack. You screwed the pooch on the base assault window by showing up late. You can still de-ack and clear things up yourself but, then your pick and vulch targets often stop upping without the security of the ack and come in 20k plus from another field to pick your group of pickers.

So is your problem the former with a group initiative gone sour or the latter that your only play time is during low numbers?

You are wrong.  My type is as clear as yours. I am not looking to vulch and have 100% attempted to improve game play.

On your assumed point. In my "last" sortie before wishing. I flew to a enemy base, when i flew by because there were NO FIGHTERS, i saw a bomber.  The HIDDEN gunner took his attention from shooting trees, to fire upon me as i flew away.  Simmilar to PUFFY ACK this individual managed to take my wing off with one shot, from behind, as I WAS CONTINUING ON TO FIND A INDIVIDUAL TO PLAY THE GAME WITH.

can you see how LAMEPLAY can be reduced!!!!!!!

please see O.P.

This "group think" is centered around wolf pack domination and vulching.  aka. pick and run turns to vulch then maybe a base take. 

also noted as lame to play against. many times lame to play with, for shear lack of targets and haphazard base take timing.

I think you flew too near the base if you did not want to interact with any guns on that base, manned or otherwise.  In the future, I suggest you not fly that close to the base.  If you are "searching" for an enemy aircraft and you do not see one at the base, do not fly near the base.

Also, FYI...

If you do not want to hit the water, do not fly near the water. 

If you do not want to hit a tree, do not fly near the tree.

If you do not want to hit the ground, do not fly near the ground.

If you do not want to be shot down by a wirb, do not fly near the wirb.
