these heavy 1 ping kill guns are shooting way to accurately

Concur Cit... it's just freakin unreal. We need to get this fixed ASAP!

I've already replied on another post but gonna add my 2c as well..I was what seemed to be about 5 miles from the enemy fleet..about 10k..1st burst from the ack..I got hit..i turned, split S'd and was immediately hit again..uh uhhhhhh..no way..not even with radar guided radar. This needs fixing IMHO.

Yep, I agree
If ships get such accurate AAA fire, I suggest we ask nicely for Harpoon Missiles :-) Perhaps a Sub or two!

This was not an intentional change. We've been flying this version the last few days online but didn't catch any difference in this. It must be related to one of the frame-rate optimizations that was made. I guess the case could made that it really optimized frame-rates because now you can't get close to the enemy fleets. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) We'll install a new host tomorrow to cut the lethality as a temporary measure to offset the FOWS capability.

Iam mixxed on this theres times I couldn't hit some one 1k away coming straight at me and then theres times some one can shave the hair off my bellybutton with the 5" flack guns at 5k away. you add that into the Computer ACK and AAA and it seems impossible to get torps into a carrier. But for some ungoodly reason people still manage to get past it all to vulch me on a carrier deck or torp my ship. So iam not so sure about the accuracy issue. I think its a question of who's gunnin and who is flying.

LOL Pyro! You got the British flare fer understatment. I DID notice a big frame rate boost.. when I wuz in my chute. Second 5" AA shell from 3 miles ended the frame rate test. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Yup...ditto this. Although the fargin ack didnt let me anywhere close to an enemy fleet (where my FR went completely downhill), it did seem like the microwarps and stuttering were gone.
You wanna talk silly range? Try this...Im tooling from A7 to A8 at 18K and 300MPH in a Stang and when I get within range of A8, the enemy carrier which is sitting offshore there opens up at me and kills my engine in 2 pings. BTW...the carrier was just within vis and about 10 miles away (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Have u already cut it? It still looks deadly. Killed at least 3 times tonite. I know I know I should be smarter ;-)

I have to agree that the fleet ack is way too accurate and lethal. It nails me when I can barely see the fleet while I am doing all kinds of evasive maneuvers. Its worse than missles because you can at least see them coming.

Hehe... JG54 was flying a offensive fighter patrol near an enemy port. We were still miles of the coast strolling along at about 20k, an enemy fleet anchored next to the harbour.
Suddenly get message of engine hit over radio - first plane is going down. What the hell was that I thought to myself - boom, flak clouds errupting around my plane. Having heard the rumours of the super flak, I put my plane around and nose down. Diving and weaving at 450 straight downwards with a trail of flak clouds all around me. Crush - direct hit - right side of my plane gone - crush - direct hit - dead...
Weeeeeee, I will stay 50 miles away from every 88 and fleet...
Btw, the plane that was going down engine out managed to get rid of 6 "normal" acks at the field - so Cit is absolutely right...

Hi!
Had the same things happen to me...
Actually I was killed by the first flak-explosions that ever occured twice on a day. I mean twice on one day - And i got damaged by flak quite often when I really had to look around to even find the nme carrier-group it came from... till I found it my Eng. was killed and i had to bail (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Just cannot be this accurate...
And, the "normal" acks are relly not very accurate anymore, but that doesnt make them less effective - I was really good at ack-killing before, because I could easily fool them, now it seems they fool me (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Citabria is right. Killing field ack is too easy (even with 2x12,7mm) but heavy ack-ack looks laser guided up to 25K+ (posted in Gameplay/Feedback forum).
I wont go feet wet near CV's till HTC fixes the damned thing (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

from 10/jan/2001 news:
We're going to be changing making a host change to tone down the flak in the arena. We hope to get this done today and wanted to do it yesterday
