Title: Need explaination!!!
Post by: 1776 on May 25, 2000, 10:36:00 AM
Today I saw  a f4u flyn though ack with no hits and later saw a spitty doing the same.  ACK zeroed in and yet saw no flashes.  It took fighters to bring down both these planes.  Was chasin a 17 in a p-51 and it seem to climb faster then the 51!!!  Got up to 30+k before I ran outa gas.  Never got to same alt as 17 yet climbing at ROC 3.5!!!

What am I missing here???  Everytime am in a 17 lucky to ROC at 1k, and everytime I get near ack means sure death!!!  I have never seen this before, am amazed!!!

I can only think that ack is real weak now.

You can fly through ACK alright if you don't fly straight... but the ROCky B17 ? No idea...

Hmmmm, generaly a turning plane would lose "e" and be easy prey for ack?!?!  An F4u vultching, flying straight wouldn't be hit by ack,is that true?  I have never seen this before today!!

lately ack seems to have a harder time tracking a FAST moving target .. i've had some kills lately where folks hid in the ack and i just swept thru at 400IAS .. it's just the lin up and then when you get out of the ack area that poses a li'll threat as your crossing speed (through their sights) decreases...

Tech question - is ack hits detected by server or FE ? I actually think it might be the FE which would be susceptible to hacking.
