Were ack accuracy increased?
« on: July 11, 2025, 01:14:16 PM »
Someone said on 200 it was. Could be my imagination but it seems they were. I deack a lot. Seems I’m coming out with more damage.

Is it me or did the setting change?

The way some countries supply their factories, I'm surprised they have any ack at all.  :bhead

It really depends on if your side is in defensive or offensive mode in regard to re-supping specific strats.

Was this perhaps a continuation of the discussion about the mega ack structures “Fire Bases” (F bases)? When doubled, passing between two together, I have yet to get through without losing at least one B-29 to some form of damage, fuel hit to center and therefore not enough to make it back to base being most common up to poof, gone…

My loss of bomber perks is considerably unbalanced; most are lost to these Mega Ack bases instead of to players…
They're casting their bait over there, see?

The thing I find interesting about the puffy ack is how it has a hard time hitting a flight of 3 bombers compared to how well it can hit a single, maneuvering fighter when they are both a substantial distance away.

I actually wish the ack was worse over factories. And lower cloud cover.  :bolt:

To my knowledge, no changes have been made to the Auto Ack accuracy in the MA.

My squad mate and I have both noticed a difference in ack strength and or accuracy on one or two maps albeit not a recent change.

On the rare occasions that I fly B29s, I always use up the center fuel tank first because it does seem to draw the most ack attention.
