was it field or cv ack.. i have noticed that , at least as far as i can tell, that the field 88s have been toned down (btw has anyone noticed that 88s fire in a "shave and a hair cut" rythm?) but the cv guns are still deadly acurate and lethal

They are not "accurrate" in the literal sense. They will hit you at random chance.

The fact that the flak gunners can magically predict that you will dive at 500 mph and spiral down and fire all their shots to follow you in a tunnel o' black puffs is what is utterly ridiculous. And its by following you with such precision that increases the chances of you being hit.. exponentially.

Heck, Flak in Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe was the best flak I have ever seen, maybe HTC could emulate it.

It still seems to have an uncanny ability to guess exactly where you are. Still needs tuning IMO.

Well, sooner or later we'll have more land back in a new map (I hope). So we'll be able to stay away from those silly CV groups and gunners.
