I can't speak for everyone on the forum, but I know that the one thing that anoys me to no end is trying to hit a target with puffy ack. I would like the puffy ack that the player fires to be a distinct color to make it easier to track and kill the target.

I don't remember seeing colored ack in WWII.
There are a good number of people who are very good with the puffy ack, perhaps you should just ask for someone to teach you.

I have to agree with machfly. Colored puffy didn't exist and would make gunning TO easy. I get killed enought already and don't want CV to be an even bigger death trap.

I am hoping someone comes along with more knowledge, but I seem to remember colored flak burst being used by some country's navy during the war. :headscratch:

I have heard of a certain someone who thinks himself very prolific in the MANed guns.... :0 Maybe he could show you the way..... :D

Not puffy ack.
Different colored splashes for Ship versus ship gunning were used by the Japanese.

It is black against a continually blue sky.
How much more contrast do we need?

Japan used colored anti ac bursts as well. They were common place. Used so different batteries could identify their bursts and adjust accordingly. I read a story about some CV pilots attacking Kure Harbor and comenting on how it was like flying into Hells rainbow.
Bruce Gamble also writes about it over the harbor at Rabaul in his book Fortress Rabaul.
Also, some of Intrepids airgroup comented on the different colored anti A/C fire being put up by Yamato and her TG (VADM Kuritas)off of Sibuyan Straight.
Colored ack existed.On land and sea. :aok

The Japanese Navy used colored ack during WWII.
-
Japanese Navy and Army. Navy used shells with dye, to mark the splashes, and the Army also did with colored anti A/C ack.

Um I'm not sure if you guys didn't notice or don't care but um.... All of the ships in the game are the American class ships. So I say -1 for colored ack

I guess that means no Japanese planes can launch from the ships either. :headscratch:

how do you shoot women and children (from a moving chopper)? answer: Easy you just don't lead them to much.
i think your problem is you think shooting at 250 mph+ plane requires the same lead as woman and children...try shooting much further in front of targets flight path
-
puffy ack was all different colors. did you guys forget the pictures you look at are black and white? :rolleyes:
P.S. MachFly, i'm guessing the reason you don't remember colored puffy in WW2 was because you weren't in WW2. there were many different colored flak bursts :aok
