Auto-Ack accuracy buffed recently
« on: August 08, 2025, 03:00:41 PM »
Numerous players on multiple countries along with myself have observed auto-ack accuracy has been buffed unannounced.

In times past I could wf deack without losing a single bird. Now, if i make a single pass bombing under 8k one of my planes will likely take significant damage and/or a PW.

Bombing at a strat at <3k AGL to avoid puffy is harder now. The flack tower is much more deadly.

Changes are being made to this game to match the skill level of the remaining player base :aok

"Ever wonder why its always b-17s and B-24s? It allows him an extreme advantage over other players hence his bomber kill count, that and his lazer beam guns"Diaster
~~~Baaaahhhhh~~~

Ive seen a couple people that I rarely see online complain about ack, but no changes have been made and the settings are still the same............. 
I've noticed no increase in hits during my regular deacks of towns and bases and I play a few hours every day....
You keep making posts about changes being made to the game with no merit.

You may have a point there.
Announcements would be helpful, but I’m not against matching current skill level. Makes the adrenaline move :)

Only thing I will say is it feels like a lot more first pass pilot wounds when in a P38. I have nothing other than me to back it up.
Back in 2022 after a loooooong break from 2010. Old name Ratpack, same for the BBS.

Squad I did the most tours with were the Excaliburs then The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!

I agree with you dad… I’ve gotten significantly more pilot wounds in my limited time flying a P38 than I have within the p47. I was genuinely shocked at how many PWs I had received since I hardly ever get them

I fly a D9, same thing. Doesn’t matter the plane.
It should be hard, much like ammo bunkers.

I'm convinced now. I get a PW 8 out of 10 times I make a pass. Some damage 100%

It needs to be hard, but announcing changes would be nice.

I'm not buying the "no changes" thing

The P38 is a known issue, pilot is as big as the plane.
