It's stupid that one of the most used tactics for defending/taking an airfield is parking a Carrier next to it just so puffy ack shoots at any planes going above 3 K.
I propose that Puffy can't shoot within 10K of an airfield (at least, Honestly I would be excited as hell if they got rid of auto puffy from carriers all together)
-
I would vote for it to be less accurate :bolt:
Its not like they read this forum though :cry

3000agl is just arbitrary..
why not 6000, 10000? why not down to the deck?

CVs offer play options in AH. The CV can be sunk so if they stay parked, it is because no one wants to take the time to take it down. I used CVs to my advantage and I have sank them when they were used against us.
BTW, it is not all auto ak. Some of the CV gunners are super good.

Instead of an ack barrier, make the "proximity to land" barrier for CV waypoints farther out from shore.
Whatever the radius is for puffy ack, make that the distance a carrier group has to keep from the shoreline.
LVT spawn points can be adjusted in easily enough, but move carriers farther out please.

I've been playing long enough to know what is AI and what is an actual player.
I'm fine with player controlled 5 inch guns.
When you patrol a CV next to YOUR airfield your argument of just bomb goes flying out the window as the faster climbing land based aircraft eat the buffs apart....and you still have to deal with the land base. It's a gamey tactic

You got me on that one. How do you tell them apart?

Frequency of the shot and players only shoot 1 round, AI shoots a cloud but shoots slower

Would rather see puffy ack damage friendly planes as well.

Agreed.

Auto puffy does.

It does. Wish granted!

I think this is the answer

Terrain designers should not put runways on the shore line IMO.
Towns maybe but not runways..... If all runways were a few thousand clicks further in land this would not be an issue.

<-------- <shrug> Frequently sinks CV's when they anger me... Problem solved, lots of "WTG's", and points to boot...

Here is an operational question - what was the impact of exploding AAA above ships? Did it sometimes rain bomb fragments onto the combat area (including the decks of ships) from the AAA explosive fragments that remained?
Also - was it best-practice NOT to shoot at airplanes directly overhead for the effect (not to mention the increased risk of a hit landing on your ship with a direct shot)? How was AAA managed in operational combat for a fleet group?
Because if in real life that is what occurred (if the aircraft was directly overhead a ship) then AAA stopped?
