Two good examples from today show why I love puffy ack so much.
1. I'm flying a bomber formation over a port; I kill the vh twice; I destroy some guns on the cv; I take my time with the puffy ack constantly targeting me, but only lose 1 gunner before I'm out of bombs. :rolleyes:
2. Dragging a spitfire up, we cross the threshold where puffy ack begins to fire. There's one or two puffs and BOOM, he's dead, I get a proxy kill. :rock Obviously he should have known better because I am soooooo sierra hotel. :devil
Right?

Puffy ack blew the wing off both my Mustang and 262 this month.

Prediction code and collision code determine your ability to play this game....rarely skill.
Sad to say, some can fly in that stuff day and night without getting a scratch....
Some, die almost immediately.
It needs tweaked. Dunno if they call it that in this game but it's pretty much a universal term for a online game when it comes to coding.

I have even been engaged in a 1vs1 fight nearby opposing cv groups when both of us are hit by puffy ack at the same time. :rolleyes: How's that for fun? :furious

A note to any newer players reading this- Sincraft has no idea what he's talking about. Despite his matter-of-fact tone, his interpretation of how the game works is usually the opposite of how it works.
Just a heads-up.

So if you out maneuver somebody and get behind him it was just the prediction code and the collision code that did it and practicing ACM is just a waste of time?
Or do you just fly bombers where skill doesn't come into play. Laser bombing, Robogunners and drone pilots are where the code is messed up.

Is that like the 'Surgeon General's Warning' on cigarettes?

puffy ack as it is, is still not working.
its 100% safe to fly bombers straight and level though puffy
its 100% unsafe to turn and burn fighters. 2 puffs and bang, tower. its BS :furious.
its too perfect with its aiming the box should be firing at you where u was 1sec ago at least, not where you are that exact milli sec......
also, its wierd how it only targets one plane, say a formation of 3 buff pilots (9 planes) fly over target, it only attacks closest plane?
-
I think HT just likes screwing with us. I can't blame him, but it still sucks.
-
at the absolute very least, puff ack should be disabled when cons of the same country as the ack are near the plane its firing at..
nothing is more absurd, annoying or retarded as being in the middle of a twisting turning fight with a con and being blotted out of the sky by CV ack from half a sector away.

And all this time I thought I was the worse player in the history of AH. Guess I'm just the unluckyest (is their such a word? "Unluckyest") (http://smileydatabase.com/s/1063.gif)

Again ... your (lack of) "knowledge" of how this game is "coaded" shows terribly ... you should really do a lot more research before you post something like this again and save yourself some embarrassment.
Your "universal" assumptions are so wrong.

My favorite times.Last week set autoclimb and went to get a coffee. got back as I traversed te outer edge of a puffy factory. I am almosta sector away from this thing when pop there goes my radiator. :mad:
the worst ever though, in a sector with only a friendly CV and a baltic island base thats friendly. I am an F6F turnfighting at 10k with someone from the Gelded Runstang crowd. He makes a mistake and I am about to have him, he misjudged estates and even a dive tothe deck wont work. I am pulling lead,when I am killed by my own puffy ack! :mad:

At least he got the 'salute' part right :lol

Puffy ack really knows how to blow! :eek:

The Other Day, Im fighting off a CV mission and I notice the Puffy ack seems to be targeting me exclusively. So to test my theory I drop below 3K (Auto Puffy Threshold) and it stops. I look out towards CV and a Squaddie is about 6K Alt and at least 4-5k Closer to the CV and it's not firing at him. So I climb straight up just break 3K and it starts puffing all around me. Now I'm thinking their is something wrong in Chinatown. :huh
