What happened to auto ack??  :headscratch:

Would someone care to share with our dear friend Kenai77 what changed with auto-ack?

If you are talking about last nights map,  the ack is always stronger on a couple of maps.  Had to say if the ack is more accurate or more powerful.  Again only a couple of maps have higher performing auto ack.

Well that’s funny because Kenai77 designed that map…

Not that I have ANY problem with the Ack as it is now. I think it’s fantastic and more realistic.

Did you verify this looking in the arena settings, or are just giving an opinion?

He is probably asking because nothing has changed with auto-ack.

Would be nice to verify if this is true, as with arena settings, if it's there. It eliminates reckless assumptions.
Since I deack A LOT, I've noticed something different, but not sure if it's my imagination, they seem more accurate by a notch.

I don't know, but it seems that would be a global setting in the MA

IF it is so, I'm not big on there being differences between maps, nor on building foundations to stop hiding in buildings not fixed in all maps. There should be consistency IMO.

Not happy about 2 maps waiting for approval for months now.

Looking at this map's setting all GroundAutoLethality's are all at 1.000.

It’s not in the arena settings

a developer with access to the baseline (source) code can buff Auto-Ack by modifying core code, without touching Arena settings.
But players, hosts, or CMs cannot — only HiTech Creations can….

Or someone with access.

Things have changed in the last few years. The only ones to get announced were dar and ords HP buffed.

His claim is that he's unable to WF and deack a town without losing a bomber now...even though I watch him fo it all the time.  He's just getting older.  This auto ack "buff" hasn't impacted fighters, we are still able to deack towns without taking hits.  If you are bombing towns at 1200ft you would get lit up the same 10 years ago as you do today.

Sorry, thats not true to deack without any hits. 8 out of 10 times I am shredded and PWed. I dump tower and deack almost every flight, I KNOW thats not true first hand.

While you may be a good pot and player you have a problem telling obvious truths. This is why I don’t get caught up in circle jerks with you. It turns from the subject to pointing out erroneous statements then shift quickly to another to change the subject when the last one is debunked.

Good pilot, not an honest broker.

Try different angles on your runs. Low attack runs seem to get you in and out better as well as "porpoising" up and down on your run outs. You'll find that you can get in and out a number of times without getting hit.

As for "FineTime", I think his tinfoil hat may be on just a bit too tight   :devil
