 why do we still have it. We have manable ground vehicles now. If that is not enough make the ack manable.

hmm, my guess would be not enough players yet to defend 12 acks, fly air support, grnd vehicles, and offense at once..

bases would be won and lost in heart beats.

C'mon, you mean you never once thought what it would be like to man the 88's against those B17's high above? or the twin 40mm's on the JABO?

I would do it in a heartbeat!

My furry little Harp Seal wingy is right on...  

I'd love to sit in the MA and man one of those ACK guns all night, while drinking beer and eating popcorn. It would be great fun and require very little SA, except looking up. ;

Might be a great entry point for "newbies" to gain a better understanding of the game and all of the slang in the 100 buffer.  

Might improve the retention factor as to the number of people who convert FREE trials to sign-ups as well.

When not manned by real people, the program could revert to otto as they are now.

Regards,
Badger

Your manable AA could be run like the bombers.. 1 gunner controls all cuns that have line of sight.  Also would be really really cool to throw in the higher alt ack and flak cannons, keep them buzzards off ya or at least make them think about u in other ways than a bomsight target  

However with a 100% manable aa all it woudl take is just 1 goon to sneak in while no one is maning that base... a real easy thing to do.  Better soulution would be to hgave auto AA with the option of jumping in and taking manual control.

Hmm, I'm confused, if we had real people manning them acks, wouldn't we still be stuck with Artificial intelligence?

Good call WC.  Have a the field ack behave in the same manner as buff ack.

Question:  If no one is manning the ack, does that mean the ack would not fire?  Sounds reasonable to me.  Would certainly be a more dynamic arena.

I have said previoulsy that AH would be better served by having no ArtIntel in the sim.

There's just not enough people for this.  Even at the most populated times, you're trying to simulate defending a country (and any offensive strikes) with 30 people total.

That means 3 bases could be defended or you could have planes in the air.  Not both.

Might be nice to be able to jump in an ack position once in a while, but it still needs some sort of automated defense.

How about let humans control the ack at any field, with the same system as the B-17.

For fields without a human on the guns, put in some realistic ack i.e. much less accurate than the current Phalanx CIWS.

Then you have at least some defense for every field.  But if you really want to defend a critical field, the humans have to help out.

Low level attacks are still not viable with the ack system we have.  In the war they could get a pass or two over the field before the gunners (who had other jobs to do) could really start firing.  Until low level attacks are viable I will continue to squeak.

OTTO guns will be preferable than Humain gunner.... but the option to jump in an ack to controle it is really fun... and when you leave the gun it became AI controled till another human jump in it..
