I don't mind if you think 100 people all get targeted by the puffy ack at the same time but other people read these posts and they should get accurate information.

Oh, I see the crease now..  We're the ones wrong here....still....

I took a look. And it does target the closest enemy, but there is/was a bug where it would only target the closest enemy with in 3 mile radius. If no one else is in a 3 - 4 mile radius it would target you.

Hmmm.  While this is certainly more believable to be the only issue than before, I'm still not convinced.  Mainly because of the fact that with this explanation, it would reason that in large furballs close to CV's where everyone is withing 3 miles of the carrier, I would not be shot at by puffy ack when I break 3k but I am every damn time.  I have never flown up above 3k and not been shot at in range, period.  Had I been above 3k and not been shot at, I would have noticed there were times where my perception of the puffy ack rules were incorrect.  If you said the range bug was within 500 ft of the carrier I could believe that a lot more because that plane would die so fast it would never really govern over me being shot at.  

Long story short, with your explanation, it would reason that I would only be shot at sometimes while above 3k and not being the closest, but I am shot at every time I am above 3k.

If you want people to get accurate information, then maybe you should stop posting.

why 3000 ft? why not 200 ft? 

since some people think the puffy is just fine, with 200ft  automagic puffy ack it would be even more effective, they could park cv's 2 miles off shore, let the computer keep the fighters down, and use the real teamwork to show the town buildings who's boss.   :rolleyes:

if someone is within 3miles of the carrier, are you not sure that someone is in a 5inch gun shooting at you, as opposed to puffy ack?

Yes man, the two are not even comparable.

Geez, you guys that're making the claims about the ack not working like Hitech says have been in this thread for 5 days, and still no film?

If it happens every time, why is it so hard to head for the nearest CV being attacked, and film what you're talking about?  It's such a simple request that I just can't see a good reason for not doing it.

One sortie of flying, all the vindication you could ask for.

It's not hard at all, if you have an active account.  It's so common that I am surprised no one has posted film yet either.  Maybe you can be the first.   :)

I haven't been playing a lot this week (Arkham Asylum is fun) but if I find myself in the position to do it, I will.  I was just surprised that out of the 3 or 4 guys saying they're seeing something different, they couldn't take the 20 minutes to group up and prove it but everybody could devote all kinds of time to posting about it.  That's not the way to get things fixed or explained around here.

Unfortunately I don't have aces high installed on my work computer.  I think only the HTC staff does.  :D

So Wiley, weigh in, am I crazy? Or does the ack always shoot at you as soon as you pop 3k?  Or am I both crazy and correct?
