Yes.. it is kinda screwy now, methinks. I've never been a real big fan of GVs, but I'm playing em some this tour. My main AA gv is the M16 (my aim isnt good enough to hit with the ostie)-- and I think it is prolly a little bit to tough. I've had spitfires, c-hogs, 30mm 190s, etc strafe me a few times before I got any damage. Of course, on rare occasions, I lose my guns to 1 hit in a strafing run, but that is prolly normal. I wouldn't wanna be the guy standing in the back shooting those guns, thats for sure. The Ostie, on the few times I have used it, was easily put out of commision by <brave> 190f8 pilots, using their 20mm cannon. The 1st guy didn't hurt me, the 2nd knocked out the gun, and the third killed me. All of the runs were from my side, I believe (I only saw the last 2).
Also... I don't know if this has relevance, but the field ack is awful good at spotting GVs that are raoming near the field, and it almost always gets me in one hit. Any chance this can be looked at to, if someone other than me thinks it is a problem?
