At what alt do the 88mm start shooting? I've flown over 8 different types of base on 4 different maps in 4 different types of plane at 4 different alts (3k, 6k, 10k, and 20k) and I've still never been holed by puffy. What's the deal? Do they even work offline?

They are a manned gun, so they won't fire offline unless you get in one and fire it yourself.

DAMN that sucks :(

:huh
You WANT puffy ack to shoot at you?
If you're just looking for puffy ack, go fly over an enemy fleet. ( maybe you're looking for screenshots, or something? )
If you want a #@$!# load of ack, take the Japanese map ( I think ) that has, like, a bazillion fleets, clump them all together in the same place.. give them a circular course, then approach them from +3k alt. A few years ago, we were in a scenario or fso or something.. there were 3 enemy fleets doing a whirlpool action around each other.. the ack was insane.
Suggestion.. go set ack lethality to .001 so it doesn't kill you.
I thought about doing that with B17s to simulate the spot where they crossed the coast.

:rofl Yep. It just adds to the suspense- "will I get hit or won't I"
It does make for some cool pics, though. I'll see about the Japan map... already surpassed the bandwidth limit for the month :lol

I remember that lol. it was unbelievable

It must be luck, puffy ack is completely random, nothing is based on speed or altitude IIRC.
-
Doesn't the "box" that the ack shoots within widen/narrow as speed/alt/maneuvring changes?
