Some Loser: Hey look a TT map lets all get in the Manned acks and shoot ar plane flying by...Weeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Why do people do this at least get in a WW or and OST (You get perks :O)
Something has to be done about this i an to tired of getting into a fight and getting popped by a manned ack.
-
A: Shoot the ack
B: Don't fly so close to the base
C: ??
D: Profit.

Do you mean the field guns or the five inchers?

If you mean the field guns, then:
1. Manned ack is the more useful for accurate long range anti-buffing.
2. Manned ack is somewhat useful against GVs.
3. The VH may be or may have been down.
4. If you are truly concerned about getting shot down while flying a fighter in a fight, the WW is much more dangerous to you.
If you mean the ship guns, then yes, it can be annoying, then again the auto puffy is what is most likely to get you. The failings of the AI puffy have been discussed ad infinitum. I believe puffy, both AI and manned should be "ordinance" seeking. For instance, if you are innocently flying a clean fighter, AI puffy shouldn't target you and manned should work as a fuzed shell against you. If however you are heavy, auto puffy should target you based on ord load, course, and proximity to the CV. If an otherwise fuzed manned ack shell comes close to an airplane with eggs, it should "magically" convert into a proximity shell and explode. :D

Some loser: Hey, I got shot down by manned ack. Let's go to the BBS and complain!
:P :D
But seriously... manned ack can't move. It's part of the SA during a fight not getting too close to it. Or kill it first - manned ack is fragile.

stop VULCHING :aok

my favorite think is to go out after getting shot down by maned in a p 47 and shoot 10 5in rockets into it i know it is over kill but why the heck not

English version anyone?

If this is the 5" guns on the CV then I...sort of...agree. Otherwise, stop vulching.

There is a really simple solution to this problem and that's to stay out of a field's ack range.
ack-ack

It only takes a small burst to take out the manned ack. Kill it or it will kill you. Hint, they are in the square bunkers.

LMFAO. If I had a nickel for everytime some toolshedders rush a base and leave just ONE Manned Ack up. I've lost count of the field captures foiled by landing 9+ kills in one ack. Not to mention the times Zazen, TopHat and I have landed bushel baskets full of kills.
They are part of the fight whether you like it or not. The only way for them NOT TO BE, is to destroy em. Leave em up, you may pay the consequences.

Manned field guns ROOL!!! Especially with tracers off!! :devil

You do realize you can shoot rockets from a LONG way up in the air?

Bad Strokes who like you out of your cage,,, ill put him back*BAD MONKE BAD*

I can hit a manned ack from 7k with rockets. Don't see the issue.
-
I don't think this post went the way he planned it :O
-
So whats the verdict? Perk the manned ack? :lol
-

Agreed, but apparently the no tracers thing doesn't work for field acks, just like it doesn't work for the WW.

I have a different problem,
Every time I try to kill the manned ack, some fighter tries to kill me!

And so VIlkas can pwn you all. (Including in the 5"ers)
:devil

And then you have those of us who cant hit squat in the dang things!!
Like I told my squadies last night, I might as well sit in it with my finger off the trigger and yell bang, bang, bang, I would hit just as much.

wow I am so excited for you.. also did you know you can hit ack from 7k with a rocket?
you are so amazing. you're the best. share more!!!!!

There are V bases over TT ... hmmmm ... is this something new on the terrains ? Hovering V bases ... :rolleyes:

Really? When did they disable that feature? I admit, it has probably been quite a few years since I hoped into one (back in AH1 days) but at least in that version of AH, you could turn off tracers for manned acks and in GVs.

I will test with a squaddie tonight to be absolutely certain but I'm pretty sure they got turned on permanently whenever the GV tracer options got changed. The really odd thing about this is if you fly normally with tracers disabled, and you are in a WW or soft gun you will not see your tracers when you are firing but everyone else will.
-
okay new rules on mondays nits must fly goons only at 3k and must try to capture bases with only goons. tuesday bishops turn then wenseday rooks turn etc. this way everyone can get easy kills not have to worry aboutr being killed. Bet someone would complain when he dies to a goon :)
-
I love getting into the manned guns. They're absolutely the most convenient sortie ever. Pop in, shoot something, get killed or tower out. No flying back half a sector with missing parts only to crash in the grass & get a ditch/crash anyhow.
GVs are pretty convenient, since you can just shut the engine off & afk whenever you want; it's not nice to do that in the manned guns, since someone else could effectively be using them instead of you.
And I use them to peek on fields. I hate the whole annoying, change-field-use-the-arrow-key-to-push-yourself-out-of-the-tower-then-use-the-keypad-arrows-to-look-around. Just pop into the gun & use the hatswitch. It's far more convenient.

Then try hitting F3 then F8 then use the up/down arrows for elevation and left/right arrows to spin in circles.

Right, thats about 30X the work of using the hatswitch to do the same thing. In addition to the whole arrow things, I can't even imagine adding the extra steps of f3 & f8. That's the part that makes the gun convenient :)

Actually I think F5 + F8 gets you the best view, you can do this from the tower, hangar, or any manned gun. This is waaaaay better than just sitting in the gun and looking around and at most bases with a keen eye you can spot GV's from the spawn point on in.

Thank you BaldEgl & Tec. I'll give those a try instead of complaining anymore :) <S>
