AH, Please tone down the CV ack just a little. 2 to 3 miles out is border line ridikalus!

Seems fine to me as it is. :confused:

Ack isnt a problem at all. Its completely predictable. If you think it is THAT dangerous, do not fly in it.
I do not like that it works off of percentages, as in no matter what I do, there is still a chance I will get hit. Unlike field guns that are somewhat possible to adapt to and avoid.
Still, CV ack rarely shoots me down, because I am not dumb enough to tool around in it.
CV ack works like this:
It has a certain % to hit your aircraft. This % is lessened if you:
Are farther away from the source
Flying at a higher rate of speed
Are maneuvering
-
So if move around more your safer :old:

Bring bombers, they never get hit.

not true, bombers do get hit but their durability is far more higher then fighters. Fighters can barely take a licking and go down, bombers on the other hand are simply tough beasts.
Where a bomber can lose an engine or oil, a fighter can't afford too.

Getting killed by a random AI is never fun...

Again tonight up at 14k with a 262 mixing it up with a mustang, all of the sudden I see one puff of smoke and next moment I’m in the tower. There was no indication a ship was near me.
While I appreciate your opinion and I understand you may not fly the same as I do. I would hope AH would at least check to see if the settings have changed, because I do not think what I have experienced lately represent WWII five inch gunfire.
Thanks

WWII AAA fire was even more accurate and dense. Still, this is still an anti-fun-smack-in-your-face mechanic that turns fighting anywhere near a CV over 3K into a lottery. IMO, remove AI puffy all together. Instead, give players control of more guns in one position. Ex: one player controlling the movement and fire of 5-6 guns at the same time.

Are the MA arena settings for aa > bombers the same as aa> fighters?.

No! No! We need it further out. How else will I ever be able to find an nme CV group without their welcome to the neighborhood fireworks show. The braille CV scouting method.

1 if its because your getting killed just stay out of it, So NO its fine
2 if its to bomb them more, NO CV is to easy to kill as it is

in that case--it was probably the 88 at a base it has a 11 or 12k range--and alot of people have benn getting very good at it.

Oh I thought a young Madonna would be in here. :banana: Npot that ANOTHER one of these threads isnt appreciated. IN before that Hitech dood comes in and says somthing snarky

You can't avoid the cv ack if you can't see the CV.
Maybe make it visible once puffy ack engages your plane or something?

If your seeing the ack you KNOW there is a cv nearby you dont have to see it to know the flack is coming from somewhere. if you turn `180 you are pretty much guaranteed to be flying away from it

Oh, I thought the thread was about a former girlfriend of mine... :uhoh

Why is the low-altitude of puffy set to 3k ?
Gameplay or realism ?
-
I agree - turn it down. Flight time for a shell cannot be as quick as it is in the game. If it is it is flying faster than the sabot rounds I flung from my M1A2 tank! I can adjust my heading by 15 - 45 degrees and altitude by 3,000 feet and still get hit and taken out. That is allot of maneuvering! If I am doing more than that I am no longer traveling in the same direction. Ack is like having a SA-2 chasing you down, and the amount of first shot kills is pretty high.

The randomness of the puffy ack will rarely seem random. It will oscillate between kill you everytime and never kill you. GIve it a week or two and you'll see your luck change for a while.

Field ack is the same for me. Sometimes I could almost deack an entire base and never get a ping. Other nights, first pass, cockpit shot, boom!
It's almost as if the setting change just a little bit once in a while.

I think it has 2 causes.
1. Distribution of random numbers leads to clusters and not an even distribution.
2. Computers are incapable of generating true randomness.
