You should actually get an account before you go babbeling on about crap.

Anyway. Back on topic.

Are you sure it's the auto-ack getting you and not a skilled shooter in a manned gun.

Many a time I've flown through the ack multiple times de-acking only to get whacked, going away, 2K off the base, by the final manned gun.

I guess it possible.. that would be a lot of lucky shots though. Every time I've been hit by ack some else has got what I've assumed to be the proxy and I've never PM'd them to see.

I think what gets me about this is it happens every time I get anywhere remotely close to ack. I can't make a single pass near it without getting 1 pinged by it. Just doesn't seem right to get get hit so consistently by it. I don't intentionally fly through the middle of it expecting to come out. It almost always happens when I'm hanging out high over a base and accidentally drift over the field while barely within ack range. I usually see 2 or three bullets fly by me and then the wing is gone. And for what's its worth I've lost the right wing every single time.

Don't fly over the field its suicide, fly the outskirts and you'll be fine.

3 more times tonight... All three times at the egde of the ack hieght and all three 1 ping and I lose a whole wing. Idk how people fly through it all the time when I can't even come close to it. I want to fight someone not fly for 20 minutes to have some idiot automated gun shoot me dow with 1 shot everytime.
Show the film. i want to see you fly.i'm thinkin u just dont know how to fly. this is what driving around in those trucks in the VH will do for ya. join a squad and follow them. Either that, or fly to 10000 feet and wait. We'll find you.

Last night I was killed by friendly puffy.  :banana:


But I have no problems with that. That's what I got to follow an enemy bomber into my carrier's ack zone. I knew the risk, it was my choice.  :airplane:

Tonight I was flying a spit over an airbase. I was about 7.5K above the ground and flew level over the town at about 410mph and one hit from the ack took a wing off. I can't remember the last time I flew near ack and didn't get a 1 ping death. Really puts a damper on the flight part of the game and is what keeps me in GV's. Anyone else experience this kind of crap with planes?

  Spit would not be my first choice to de ack town. Love the 190d for that with plenty of cannons to take it down. Stay low on exit and manuver. Though I have been downed with one shot by town ack recently with no kill message just "you have crashed". Has HTC changed the damage level of wings lately? My Lanc stukas lose parts more rapidly now it seems.  :noid
