After the Update: What field ack? I do like the New fields they look freaking awsome and the new gun posations are realy cool to, but the ack is a joke imo, it neads to be a bit more lethal/intimadating, heck people just vulch right through it now.
........................
Before: You nead a modicume of skill to strafe it down by your self on a field, and it actualy hit you once in a while and did some damage, it was not Intimadating but it could give the average to poor player pause.
...........
I am not entirely shure the thinking on the reduction of it in AH2 compared to AHI, it is almost as if they wanted to inchurage vulching.

On the flip side, ack respawns much faster, and it seems like destroying the vehicle hangar isn't such easy business anymore. Ground vehicles are holding out at the fields quite a bit better than they used to, on the whole.

Thats because you cant see them in time to Kill them. I have to be D< 800 to see where they are. And if I get that close Im gona die. Fighters stay away from them, so the GVs stay on the field longer.

I think Brady exxagerates somewhat. I have always found the short-range field ack to be disturbingly lethal.
Well, it's lethal to ME anyway. I have to carefully avoid getting into ack range of an airfield or else I end up getting shot down almost every time. No matter what I do--fast, slow, high, low, straight, wiggling, flying at it, flying perpendicular to it--it gets me.
From MY perspective, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the short-range field ack.
Of course it seems like everyone else can just fly through it forever and not get touched so maybe the AI just likes shooting down Mustangs.
I propose that ack be made as lethal to everyone else as it is to me :)

The VH seams just as easy to destroy as before, in fact since it is a bigrer target, one would think it is easer to do, the only down side is you cant vulch the vehicals in them as they spawn like you could before through the net. Spoting the vehicals on the fields is a non isue for me at lest on my FE they seam easy to pick out.
J_A_B, I think simply has likely the worst luck, in fact so bad it makes me feal Lucky:)

I love to play in ack. :aok
:rofl

"J_A_B, I think simply has likely the worst luck"
Quite likely an accurate observation.

I agree Brady, the ack is nothing.

I feel your pain
The last two days the short range ack has been VERY lethal to me
Puffy flak I just ignore as it rarely hits me let lone kills me
That other stuff...eggadds!
Was useless for the last week then in the last 2 days it learned how to aim.
Least it learned how to aim at me LOL
