Computer controlled 5" puffy should not damage friendly aircraft

[Pand]

Another instance---

Diving on B26's attacking friendly carrier --- Kill all 3, but the computer doesn't realize the last B26 is missing half it's wing and continues to fire, blowing me out of the air. 

Never seen computer controlled puffy actually kill an enemy bomber flying straight and level before, but it sure is good at killing maneuvering fighters, enemy or friendly!  Sweet!

I have a lot of them recorded from vox but I dont think you really want to hear them.

Nothing beats whoever it was who flew a 262 and chased Lancs trying to stuka a CV only to get killed by Puffy on the first pop.

This response makes me rethink any future communications regarding potential improvements to your game.  You obviously know what you are doing and I have overstayed my welcome here in the wishlist.

hitech was just being funny.   he's heard this whine before many a time.  a couple of years ago he gave an explanation over why it happens if I remember correctly.

once 3 of us got killed trying to shoot down lancs I believe while the lancs went on to sink the cv and fly away undamaged.

I abandoned an attack on a set of lancs and a pony bombtruck in the same jet sortie this week for exactly this reason. Like a wise man once said "Fool me once, shame on, shame on you. Fool me ... uh ... you can't get fooled again!"

Yesterday I didn't. Did cost me my Me 163 

That doesn't stop me from defending thei feature though. Flying into AA fire is dangerous, as countless friendly fire victims of WW2 could attest to.

Nope, I  never have heard this particular whine, I have heard whines about dieing from puffy ack many times. I have heard a lot of request that puffy ack should kill friendly's (to which I have responded it all ready does) but I have never heard a whine about following an enemy into your own ack, and that the ack is to deadly on the friendly but never hits the enemy and hence please change it to not hit friendlys.

Hitech,

If a Friendly player defending his Carrier tries to intercept an enemy around the Puffy ack, he has 50/50 chance of getting hit as well and blowing up being in the "BOX" of puffy ack.

Not sure what my stance on this is, I want to say make friendly players of the CV invisible to the puffy ack, then again this leads to someone sitting in the puffy ack all day hoping someone chases to get blown up.

Any chance we can tone it down for players friendly flying around a CV? maybe cut the puffy damage in half vs players enemy to the CV?
