I hate puffy ack.
I hate it when it shoots through mountains.
I hate it when a square box of puffy ack with random puffs inside the box tracks the enemy fighter im chasing and kills me while it ignores the bombers over the CV.
I hate when it shoots through mountains and hits me when im flyign NOE on a 5k mountain.
I hate fighting AI when flying in an online game.
remove puffy ack and make all 88mm/cv puff acks manned guns or set its ceiling to 10k.
just do somthign to remove this nonstop annoying feature of aces high

Tell us how u really feal:D

But Fester, Puff ack LOVES you.
I tend to disagree on puffy ack, only seems to hit me when its conviently needed to hit me.
I.e one day im 12k coming towards a CV to bomb it, right before I go in my dive, BAM i explode and back in tower, nice kill puffy ack.
Last night in TT arena map, was hovering in puffy ack for 10-15 minutes in a Dora, never got hit once.
Its like puffy ack senses when your a threat :D

Something tells me Fester died for the second time this month.. :(
I will agree, puffy ack does suck. I dunno how many times I've been hit and had my plane just blow up from one hit.
-
"hate" is such a strong word ... maybe it should be "dislike"
-
Yeah, i hate puffies too. Mostly because they much more dangerous for fighters than bombers, what is nonsense of course.
At least there are no 88's at fields and towns anymore.
-
puff ack targets perk rides....ive lost alot of perks to that crap

Thank you, Johnny :D

Make puff effective against buffs, and much less (much much less) effective against fighters.
Make puff create damage more, than kills.
Make puff more smart (prioritize targets).
Do not remove them from the game.

Real ballistics so 375mph planes miles away don't get zeroed like they were standing still point blank.
-
But it looks and sounds so cool.
-
Puffy ack is complete crap.

I have the same idea. :confused:
-
I agree with the idea of prioritising buffs as puffy ack targets.
A 109 weaving through 5k of alt at 15k should not be a feasible target to puffy ack.... yet it seems that I recieve critical engine damage whilst the level-bombing lancs below me are not targeted at all.
Puffy ack is a necessary addition to the game but it needs to be a little less deadly to small aircraft at long ranges.
I have never been killed or damaged by puffy ack when I am in visual range of the CV it is coming from...... only when OUTSIDE visual range. That does not seem logical at all.

Fester,
I thought I had the puffy all to myself! Oh well, I guess that I can share. On a serious note, the current puffy ack setup has to be heat, radar, laser, and gps guided the way it can swat my plane right outta the sky.
Oink

I like puffy ack.
-
Ya it kills once in a while. I say leave it alone. If it's killing you, it's killing the enemy as well. It does its job aside from the shooting through mountains bug.
-
Puffy ack does not shoot over 40k, IIRC?
Man i have a solution for everything!

i don't think puffy ack has ever killed me in a bomber, but man o man do i have a puffy ack magnet stuck to my plane if I'm in a fighter, jeez its ridiculous sometimes

One time I was flying a temp on the deck to stop a horde at a field off a cv. I killed one guy, pulled up doing almost 500 mph, and when I got to 3,001 ft, boom.
I love it too.
-
ive lost a 234 drone to the puff one time..
cant think of any other instance where ive had a bomber hit by it..
but I can think of several where I had my yak vaporized while cherry... *cough* flying over furball a looking for a target.

I must be flying a different game. I've been flying what I thought was AH since it started and I've never seen AI puffy ack hit anything whatsoever (except my own puffy ack killed me once when I was trying to defend the CV from an attacker). I have been on CVs hundreds of times where slow level bombers were fired at by the AI puffy ack, but I cannot recall a single time they ever hit them. Manned puffy ack yes, unmanned never. Unless a CV is manned, it has a 0% probability of surviving incoming bombers and the bombers, if above normal ack range, have nearly a 100% chance of exiting untouched.
So yes, go ahead and remove puffy ack- it does nothing whatsoever (except confuse the manned gunners regarding their aim).
I do agree that firing through mountains is not right, but that would be a complicated fix as the host apparently doesn't actually trace the puffy ack flight path so it can't know it's firing through mountains.
-
You must be on the far end of the bell curve...
-
some of the best pilots in the war died from random puffy ack, quite a few of them right before the end of WW1 and again in WW2.
-
Puffy ack owns Fester :noid

Haven't died to AI puffy in as long as I can remember.
