I was chasing an A20 trying to dive bomb our field and got hit by my own ack twice. Is this new or have I been so lucky in the past 5 years?
-
You have been lucky.
-
Yup, lucky. Ive been killed by 5in shells through the canopy several times.
Its rare, but it happens.

Friendly ack is not so friendly.

Heh, me too. It was not the 5" ack. It does not exist 1K over a field. I got two hits from the field guns. Second one gave me a PW.
-
Yeah, they've hit me too. Was just giving the worst case scenario.
I've gotten hit a couple of times taking off from a field under attack and crossing the field guns line of fire.

Just earlier today i was chasing a N1k and our base ack was shooting at him i rolled in behind him next thing i know the base ack takes off me stab's and wings.
-
Yeah but Vans you just suck, WAY TO GO ACK jk! :D
-
Yup AI AA can hit friendlies..just not player controlled AA. It's rare though, I think I've had it happen to me about 3 times ever...
-
Had it happen numerous times. Lost flaps, rons, ele's and been PW'ed all by machine gun type field or cv ack. It's usually instigated by some suicide monkey low to the deck drawing all the ack as you attempt to take off. Only once has puffy ack got me which knocked my engine clean out. I was about 150 yrs from a con about 6k above the cv :furious
-
Stop hugging your ack and it might not shoot you :p
Think i've been killed by CV ack twice and the guns on field have pinged me up a couple.

OK happy people. 5 years not a single ping. I got hit again last night. Something has changed? I am not that lucky, trust me :rofl

for all you long timers that used to fly in the Air Warrior days, you will remember that you could actually shoot down people on your own country. I actually shot down my own wingman once (hate to admit that), but hey, you think twice about flying in front of someone that is saddled up on their opponent.
of coarse, if you did this more than once in one day, you were listed as "personna-non-gratta" and you could not load ammo for the remainder of that day. Kind of a unique twist to the game, but one that I liked. It spurred some interesting conversations I have to admit. :lol
after all, real is real! :D
Kinda like "We were who we thought they were!":huh
love that quote, had to throw that in there. :aok

wow that's odd, never been shot by friendly ack. Didn't think it caused damage to friendlies either

When does happen to you ... it will be one of those "WTF happened" moments.

You have been winning the lottery.
In the 6+ years that I have been playing ... I can probably count on 3 or 4 fingers the amount of times it has happened to me.

I go get me a ticket. I would loved it if it had changed. No where to hide for the ack hugging aces :rofl

I the other day tried to shoot down some suicide Lancs trying to bomb my CV, I closed in fast doing well over 450 and Lancs were about 5k from the CV, puffy ack got my wing, not even single shot from the Lancs gunners.

It doesn't shoot at you - it shoots through you to shoot at them. I've never had it kill me (edit-> not meant to indicate that I don't believe it would, just that it hasn't ever killed me). But it will scare the living jebesu out of you when you aren't expecting it....
-
I've been hit on a couple of occasions by friendly ack but its the supply trucks that usually get me!!!
-
Been there, had it happen to me also. It's rare, but it has happened

Thankfully not... sometimes you post too. {grin}

I was in a mission once and we took an airfield. The previous owners had left supplies out and the auto-ack was shooting across he runway. Shot down most of the people that were trying to re-up.
-
Happen to me few times - First time it happened was actually several weeks ago; I was chasing 190 over what I believe was factory IIRC, and was about ready to fire the 50s o Death then BOOM, was towered. I was filming it so I logged out and checked; sure enough, ''friendly'' ack was the reason. Second time shortly after was when I was taking off to attempt to kill off porking NIK; AA shot off my rudder as the NIK was diving in but away from me
-
Glad to know I'm not the only one that has been "owned" by friendly ack
-
Smacked me around also when I was taking off from a field.

Yes but is this by design?
