Are you sure there wasn't an enemy CV nearby and you were hit by the CV gunners at long range?

I personally have had no trouble with friendly ack and I have even nailed my squad mates with the 5"ers on the CV for fun and I've never killed a friedly player.
  I think the rumors of friendly ack killing people is exagerated.
 Just myop. :)

The technology for an anti aircraft shell to tell friend from foe didnt exist in 1945.

No, but technology to make rounds which would come back to bite you whenever you shoot at friendly aircraft did... :rofl

Yep, I'd be pissed too, if I also had a perked plane get zapped out of nowhere! Sounds like one of those "last straw" frustration things.

Sounds like chill time. Sometimes I get so frustrated with this new AH2 version, I want to toss my system through a window. But, I guess we all have to realize, AH2 is a new game, and it will take time to learn all the new and revised features. I'm certainly not happy with most of it though.

Getting killed by friendly fire and aircraft debris is new. Friendly ack fire I guess is a new part of the game that we just have to figure out how to avoid.

It's a good thing you didn't decide to take up an ME262.

because it has happened before?  and since no new patches have came out since it last happened it is ok to assume it has not been fixed.

One thing you learn quick is not to up a plane until your front end has loaded all the nearby friendlies:eek:

I almost lost a 262 that way, I came back from a vox fix relog, and jumped onto the runway immediatly, and just barely managed to land befor all the important pieces exploded off as the friendly ack was firing at all those red P-51 ghosts.

Seems better lately, but the CV thing is still an issue and the autoack fires through the flight deck :mad:   Sucks to be the LSO on these flattops:rolleyes:

"Puffy Ack" (i.e. 5 inch or 88mm) is indiscriminate....by its very nature. Death by friendly fire was a sad but real occurrence in WW2.

If you are near an nmy plane, tank or boat etc, and near ack (whether nmy or fdly), you can die by them. It is realistic and correct for this to happen.

Funny, I like the Tempest also, and would be unhappy at the idea of losing it by this method. How would you feel if it was a 110 HOing you? Or a N1Ks? The perkies would be gone all the same...like in a lottery: you pays your money, you takes your chances (sic).

It is even worse than that...what if you landed and popped a tyre / UC, then couldnt get on the runway (has happened to me in a bomber)...just go round and round in circles like a tank with a dead track.

The point is, if you arent willing to lose the perkies by whatever means is possible, then dont spend them.
