Title: 1 shot kills from AK
Post by: bagrat on November 09, 2010, 03:19:07 PM
I wish to do away with computer AK that is as deadly as soft guns.
It's one thing to get 1 shot killed by the manned AK, big salutes to the guys who have the skill to kill someone 2k away. However getting 1 shot killed by the infinitely accurate computerized AK  c'mon now.  I don't mind the regular ak either that needs to ping u 2 or 3 times to kill you, but just ending up in the tower with that "you got killed" message is just frustrating. I get that all you need to do is just change your pitch to avoid it, but take an eye off that comp ak for a second and bam! back in the tower.  Even trying to de-AK one of these guns is a dangerous or even more than trying to attack an ostwind.

20MM round to the head would & should send you to the tower.

True. Sometimes I get 1 shot pilot wound in a 262 from the first bullet fired. :uhoh

What gives you the impression that ack of any kind was not capable of one hit kills?  While I agree that CV puffy ack tracking is a little suspect because as far as I know CV acks couldn't track and fire at a target with a mountain between the CV fleet and the plane.  However, the lethality of the CV acks or any of the other acks in the game is not "porked" or otherwise broken that something needs to be done to tone down the lethality of any of the acks.

Just sounds like you're mad about being killed by acks that you want to tone down the lethality so you don't get killed anymore.  It's very similiar to Nemisis' whine about bomber guns and wanting them to get nerfed because he kept getting shot down by bombers.

The profanity filter is confused by "assure" and thinks it's a cuss word.

agreed.. however, I had a d-hog lose an entire wing few days ago, from 1 ping from a town ack.. I just assumed it must have hit me more than 1 time but somehow I only heard 1 hit.


solution = kill the guns from distance with rockets. that's all.

And what is so odd about that?  The idea that a single 20mm round impacting would not be capable of a kill under the right circumstances is a myth.  Even a single .303 round is capable of killing a plane, that's why fighter pilots call those shots the "Golden BB".

While Auto-Ack does make the game more realistic, I have on more than one occasion lately heard many say that it seems as if the ack had gotten more powerful/accurate which I feel has been the case. Came in in a 190F from about 8k, went into steep dive and as usual started to pick the edges of the AF...before I fired a single round going aroun 450+ I was hit by 2 ack rounds which 1)PWed me and 2)took off half my wing. Has anyone else noticed a possible change in the AA lately???

Yes I'll even admit the ack seems to be very accurate, even the puffy

indeed, just trying to figure out those circumstances.. when I'm firing the guns, always seems to take me more than 1, unless its in the cockpit :)
