Auto-Ack accuracy buffed recently

[mERv]

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

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.

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.

[Animl-AW]

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.

Some maps the guns are very accurate, and some maps low.  Most are middle of the road.

I assumed ack accuracy for the MA is a global setting. If it is different from map to map I would call that wrong. It should be a global, not varying.

If you are right, was that part of the map updates?

JimmyD says they were not changed. But I noticed something changed. Almost every sortie I make involves acks, so something it noticeable. I don’t think it has much to do with plane other than its size as a bigger target. Bigger the plane, easier to hit.

If you go to the Arena Tables, look under Weapons. Lethality setting should be 1.00 . That is the only settings I know of for auto ack.

Ok, an arena global. M
If it hasn’t changed, i winder what the illusion is for so many.
I never messed with AH settings.i assume 1. is 100%. .9 would be 90%, guessing.

Difference could be the skill of a manned gun. I rarely look at a name. Thats my gyess

I agree that no map ack change has occurred in the last couple of years.
