Post by: WolfSnipe on June 05, 2007, 06:16:08 PM

Well then you would get mad cuz someone would be in mnned ack and kill your troops when they land, and a Ostwind with armor can usually withstand more than a soft Gun.

Manned ack in town would not be a bad idea, also manned ack at factories would be welcomed too.  I wish GVs could spawn into their own towns.

I disagree.  Towns can be easily defended as it is.   The last ack increase has got it just right.

My gunnery in a manned ack is very good now and It just wouldnt be fair.


If they agreed to put 1 man ack in town I would suggest counting a soft gun with someone in it (shooting)  as a registered kill for the pilot or GV that destroys it.

I wonder how many people would support this if it counted as a death.

they should add hardened manned 5"/88's to the airfields and the towns.  these positions should not be easily taken out.  furthermore they should be able to kill friendlies if there are enemies in the fight.  if a gunner is shooting at an enemy and his rounds burst/impact near defenders the defenders should be damaged/die as well.

In Newport, RI, there are still 5 inch and AA artillery foundations lining Ocean Drive. These could be considered town fortifications, since they weren't on base, yes?

Would be a nice addition to have 2-3 additional manned acks, or small anti-ship batteries protecting the shore and town, IMO.

Of all the boneheaded things I see on this forum, this thread seems bears some credibility, and at least an idea that could be taken into consideration.

yeah, not get bombed and land 21 kills in a manned-ack. you should have to manually tower out.

Only way I'd agree is if we DRASTICALLY cut the amount of auto-ack in the town, and made the towns further away from the base. ;)

I'd rather see a good German 88 mount set outside the town that could fill both roles.

Ideally it would be harder to kill than an ack, yet easier than a GV, as there is nothing protecting the crew manning the gun.

Do away with all but 2 of the town auto acks, give us 88 emplacements, ideally outside the town on the corners so they have a 270 degree field of view.  A 500lb bomb should disable them for half an hour.

Bung it in I too enjoy the soft gun & would not care if it counted as a death.

Not if I was to get my shots in first both would go down before they knew what hit them. With the exception of a Tiger coming head on.

I think we should get rid of all the ack - period.  The game is over defensive as it is.

I think the manned ack on the fields should 40mm Bofors quad mounts.  :t

Good idea, but make the down time 15 minutes like the hangers.

....and why would you dig up a year and a half old thread to say that?  :huh

If we had the M-18 at 55mph top speed, 76mm antitank main gun, .50 cal pintel, and light armor, you wouldn't need a manned ack at town.

I presonally don't care, I don't take bases but I know it'd be killed just like the rest of the guns without many problems
