Completely ridiculous

lats time I flew a spit14 I got poped outta the air by 88s. And that's the only time this year I've been damaged by that stuff while in a fighter.

Ok, as long as it's not me and my imagination

all depends how they set up those guns in game but here are some real stats of some 5 inch guns


The Mk 38 Gun Mount was designed specifically for the Sumner-GearingClass destroyers and featured a twin arrangement of the 5-in./38-cal. Mk 12 gun developed especially for destroyers in the early 1930s. The basic round for the Mk 12 gun was semi-fixed, with a 54-pound projectile and a 28-pound shell case that included a 15-pound powder charge. The initial velocity of the round was 2,600 feet per second with a maximum range of 18,200 yards at 45 degrees elevation and a ceiling of 37,200 feet at 85 degrees elevation.

But in one report this was form the Navy late 30's to 45

In contrast, in 1940, the Director of Fleet Training noted dismally that ". . . the probability of shooting down a single modern horizontal bomber at a range of 5,500 yards as it advances to the attack on a ship mounting a four-gun, 5-inch battery is 2 in 100 chances." The radius of destruction of a single burst, he noted, was not much in excess of five yards, so given four bursts in a 350 yard fuze pattern it was not hard to understand why so few drones were shot down even when the fire control appeared to be perfect.56 Theoretically, even flawless fire control should achieve only about 1% hits. American officers watching European developments noted that contemporary British practice of covering all avenues of approach with a 36-gun density seemed to work well against the Germans

so if they go this way on how they set up the guns.. you were too low and in range if they set it up cause there are only 4 sets of guns in AH fleets to pork it to be more effective

This Causes more heat in game
 (does not refer to furballrs pilots that dont care about taken anything but 50 bucks) for some of us that would like to have a reset win once in a great while (hehe yea i am a knight) SO this is my complaint after over a year of playing. the 3 things that bug me 1 resets  2 check six's 3 kill thieves

 i do see one thing in this game that would take some of the heat off. AS EX military from the viet nam days, if each country would have a little bit of this all the time would help out alot of this . some of you may not of heard of this  but i will say it any way TEAM WORK and CHECK 6 and Helping out WORKS .
  last week i watched 4 bish take 8 fields in 20 mins I was in a ostie and tower watching, there were about 60 on that morning in Nits most were telling everyone what they need to do, but all of those were furballing and not into the base capture, guys call for goons i up and when i get there town is not all down and about 20 red icons low waiting for ya.. quit that will ya, if your in a ship and flying and in control of it and dont want to release it move it once in a while so the shore batteries dont get it. MOVE IT, stay far enough out of range so the shore batt has to keep moving in and out of view for where hits are landing. they quit when it is too far away and they have to keep adjusting to see where they are hitting

  So when you see a mission up goto it and join. lets take bases and we don t need missions ten of us can take a base easy if you watch how they do it.. i seen them take  out FHs VHs Town, vulch base, drop goons, hotpad and roll to the next by the time that field comes up they are two bases away taking more and do that all the time and we may see a reset once in a while, i like the team work is why i amsaying this and i know to each thier own i see the same guys on that try to do this. well if we see the same on every day ask . i for one will help out any team effort to get bases and win some resets just ask and lets have some fun for those that want to do this. I will join GV or plane attacks on bases, i don tknow if any one ever sees me cause i dont type or say much but i try to help out , i just get a little aggravated at all the crying about this but no one ever doing it. then when we do i see that we get ona roll then after about a few bases we all go off to other directions and momentum dies. we need to keep up at every base, not loose attention span.  
    And check six once in a while i try to even when i am in a gv i will chk 6 guys in the air if i see it and can get the right icon to check 6. and when guys have planes 200 yrd in front of them dont try to steal kill and let kill shooter kill the guy from his kill. i will no longer get out of any ones way behind me firing at my target, i dodge them so i dont let you shoot yourself down  and i lose shots and get shot down from now on though if you fire behind me on my target i will let bullets hit me so kill thieves are on thier own now so dont go crying on mic when it happens or in text... if you see i cant get a shot in  i will go away and let you have it if you have a clean shot but give me a chance  will ya.. i know alot feel the same way .
 And if you dont have anything to say worth while dont flame me in here and show what kind of person you are. well i got my 15 months off my mind.. see ya next year... in here and there are alot of you guys out there i enjoy flying with even if i dont talk or type to you some of ya seen me with you out there helping.. ooops to much. but i have said enough, LEts have fun and play like good (old) kids

Think thats wierd, try this one


Some squaddies were GV'ing a port, which the spawn point is on top of a steep hill right above the port (Pizza map). As soon as we hit the ridge, the puffy ack is shooting at the GV's! It explodes on the ground, and even more wierd it explosed inside and under the terrain far from the vehicles. A wierd map bug, but the ack is shooting under the terrain like it isnt there. Wierd stuff!

has any one that has been in tiger.. when you lose a track does it bounce all over the place out of control , i could still shoot if i could see.  looks ike when your driving fast over rocky terrain. doesnt matter if i am moving when hit or camping or what suface i am on . does it all the time when i lose a track..

Yes it sucks too cant shoot like that,well can shoot but cant hit anything. I dont use tigers no more because of the gv modeling. when a M8 hit me once and killed me that was it for me.

So the lesson from this thread is that if you're flying a fluffy plane at a fluffy alt and enter a non-fluffy zone, you get fluffed by the fluffy ack.

You just have to look on the bright side, you were looking for the CV and you found it.
