I only really have two issues with the flak.
1. If it locks on to you, it stays locked on regardless. Even when I go below 3k feet, it won't switch targets... it's on me until I am out of it's very long range. I would think the flak gunners would switch to the closest targets, but maybe I'm wrong. I think this can be exploited to a degree. If I can get the flak locked on to me, I then just cruise around in range but at 2,800 feet. My buddies should be relatively un-molested by flak at this point.
2. I can fly perfectly straight and level and take no hits. If I maneuver I tend to get killed. Kinda strange. Not a big deal, but not what I expect. Am I wrong to expect it to work this way?
Now that said, I think there is an issue with how the flak works. I think HT has changed some things on the host to make it playable for now, but it doesn't seem to be a permanent solution. I'd bet that in a furuture patch or release, HT may be able to fix whatever is causing the functional issues. For now I think the balance is not bad, and I find I can play around CV's now without too much of a problem.
