It's SO much more relaxing in AHII.
Gunnery is much tougher, leaving the sprayers to fly for just two minutes before they have to rtb with no hits, kills, or clues.
Buffs don't all die in one pass anymore, that I can tell anyway. The gunners don't have grapefruit size bullets anymore (seemingly). I still see guys die from dead six astern, which only proves some people never learn.
I see a lot more P38s these days. I think people are trying to use the centerline gun approach to improving their gunnery. P38s have a huge vulnerable spot if you can get guns on (pilot kill). If a pilot reaches too deep into the stall horn, then you get a nice tidy prox kill when he smacks the terrain.
Ack is wimpy. I've vultched planes on the CV deck (no hits on me) and directly over their field with all ack up (hits but no damage). Ack WILL still kill you if you stay in it. Keep moving. :)
I'm still sorting out the stack of aircraft traits, as they seem to have changed a bit.

Sounds like fun Metatron! I can't wait to be in there on monday and try some of this out for myself. My first few baby steps in AH2. :D

Think this is the most fun i've had in AH, im just getting use to the gunnery now, and can actually hit something :D I have also been pretty lucky in some fights, when i have had enemy on my 6 and not ben able to shoot me down, in AH1, i wreckon i would have been a gonner.

I dont think the gunnery is all that different, I get hits out to D800 and Im not that great a shot, everything else I agree with.

Those shots are possible. I just hear that the damage is not as great as it used to be. In AH1, if you had good aim, you could kill somone from D800 out with 50's no prob. In AH2 it is much harder to kill them from D800 out now, damage is not as lethal as it was in AH1.

Okay, I take the buff gun comment back. They do seem to be hitting oil well enough, at least. I haven't found the guns any less effective beyond 400yds. However, you don't get a precise icon anymore, and so only experience can help you (or better planning in effecting your attack).
