my whine...

[321BAR]

try flying in between town n field of nme base att about 100ft off the ground cruising w a 262 going 550+ n close enough to town ack n 1 bullet hits my pilot n insta death 

good ur the one who decided to go that low and ack had a lucky day getting your pilot

it was a fluke for you. if you want realism auto guns for bases and towns and fleets, thered be no base takes...

I think if they made the boxes around fighters and bombers the same size, there wouldn't be nearly as many whines.

Fighters would never get hit.

Neither would bombers.

For my whine ....   I like a good Pinot Noir -- preferably from Oregon.  All the best Pinots come from Oregon.

I say make all auto ack more accurate, if ya want to get close then run the risk  otherwise have the furball a tad further out

Has anyone from HTC explained this?  I hate to guess at how its modeled.  It seems like no mater how hard you manuver the box is fixed on your center. 

1). Is there any benefit to taking evasive manuvers? 

2). Is it just random generation regardless of manuvering?

It should be like bird hunting.

I fire my gun, the bird sees my muzzle flash and it turns, my shot is going to be where the bird was (hopefully) and I would miss.

In the game it seems like if you (the bird) manuver the shots fired bend to your new location. 


Is this an accurate description?

If anything puffy ack is nerfed.  Look at ww2 picks do you want that.

Actually, yes.  A single formation of buffs coming in even bellow 3K should not be able to get to the CV.  A fighter 5K out twisting and turning in a dog fight should be safe.  The fact that you can safely get to the CV just because you are under 3K is a joke.  The fact that a maneuvering fighter can get picked off by the auto ack at 5K or longer distances is also a joke.

And I I'm pretty sure the gunners aimed to kill the closest threat?  Everytime I get hit by the 5" I'm no where near the ship.

Ack is fine even 10 miles out.  What they should do is have a Hit % set for distance away from carrier.  Lets say u are 10 miles out.  Ack hit % on u be set to like 1 % chance of hitting u with a progressively higher % as u move closer to the CV up to like 50% if u less then 1k from the CV regardless of alt (Even at 100 feet).
