dont u wish there were Manned-Ack in town so u didnt have to get flak in there to defend and have Manned ack it would be easier and u could try taking tanks out in town :)
-
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.
-
yes so at least if they have cap u mite have chance of keeping base and i've killed oswinds and tanks in manned ack plenty of times hit them in the side thats all
-
and panzer IV that mite get u made but it gives the ther side a chance if ur side was smart enough thEy would shoot all the manned ack
-
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.

...and a single dive bomber allowed from Vbases and Ports...

yeah, not get bombed and land 21 kills in a manned-ack. you should have to manually tower out.
-
no i think it shouldnt be any different then regular ack ack
-
was thinking about this today, would be a good idea, yes/no?

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
-
manned ack in the town :pray
-
manned 88mm is a horrible idea though
-
sounds good to me, mabe we should just replace some of the already existing non-manned acks with manned ones
