fatty and i were "de-acking" a base last night in P47s, after i had used up all rockets and bombs, we then turned to the 8 .50s to flatten the ack.
moral of the story, .50s don't work to well on ack! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)
so, just how tough are they? how many rounds of .50s does it take to kill and ack? i know its a piece of cake with almost any cannon equiped AC.
anyone shed some light?
-
.50's are the best guns to use on acks. Last night I had extreme 'rubber bullet syndrome' along with spikes in connects under netstatus, so, I'll bet the massive downloads going on had something to do with it.
-
man i hope so Rip, it was insane how many times we lit up one little ack and came out in flames.
-
That does seem odd; I was de-acking with impunity in the 51B- 4x.50's! The only trouble is it doesn't carry enough ammo to do the job and CAP.

Mason, 8 X .50's work Wonders on Acks (No need to stay on it, just "pass through"), Howver there is a BUG at certain places (or is it a connection matter) that some VH acks won't go Down at all with Guns.
I deack fields almost exclusively in P47 D30...when I decide to fly US iron, that is (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

That might be it SAW, it was a VH ack. Befuddled as I'd strafed it 2 times, with engine out I laid 8 50s on it for about 5 seconds before dying with no damage. Later I took some acks out with the YAK mg, so it could have been just that one.

Do a search in the "Bug report forum" on "VH acks", it nearly beats the ammount of "CV Acks" whines (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
2 Rockets will do the job...if you aim better than I do (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Its some kind of bug fatty. I've had it happen to me on VH ack on several occurances. Put a rocket on it and the problem is solved (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

If you ever want to witness the best field de-acker in AH, come Knit and fly as an observer with Blitz.
2 passes and ALL field ack is down with P51D with only guns, thats 8 acks in two passes.(minus VH ack, that requires a 3rd pass due to location)
VMF-323 is proud to have him on our squadron.
-
Usually all you have to do is pee on an ack and it will go down, strange that it took multiple strafes like that.
-
That's definitely two demerits for you two whiners (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) Return to the latrine immediately with scrubbers in hand! Also take your deaths like a man!

thanks SAW

Hmmm....I've always found the 6 .50s of the Stang more than enough to deack a field and get a few vulches (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif).
I've even deacked with some of those useless .303s on a Spit 5, saving the cannon for planes. I dont think ack requires alot of damage to take out unless they changed it with this version.

A6m can do a good job of deacking as well, using JUST mg's

Not my fault Central, Mason dragged me into it!

Gotta second rip there, blitz is totally amazing.
I just follow him around in my jabo, knowing he'll easily clear the way for me so I can egg osties (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif).

I can punch out AA with just 2 of my P51s 6 .50s... saves ammo.
