i know, i really liked the sound of shrapnel boucning off the surface of the skin


I'm not sure if i was in a flak field or not, but i once attacked a 190 in a jug and got so close that when he exploded i could hear shrapnel hitting my jug :)

The radar homing insta-ack is already scary enough. Ack is the most fearsome enemy on the whole MA, it has way highest k/d ratio against me.

so i guess radar guided, with the lead computer calculated, wouldn't be scary for you?


In WW2, Ack Ack Ack was extremly strong stuff, and very scary.

Ack Ack, was still scary, but most of the gunners couldn't hit toejam, and usually shot at freindlies

I just said it's scary enough as it is.. I have better chances to survive being bounced by 3 enemies than fly a single pass through ack in AH.

Well, ack in WW2 wasn't able to track 500mph diving fighters even less when they were diving then going up then turning then diving again. radar or no radar. It was very scary for bombers/straight flying targets though.
