Computer controlled 5" puffy should not damage friendly aircraft

Lyrics from the AH version of the "Badger" video:


"Puffy puffy puffy puffy puffy puffy puffy puffy - Pilot Wound! Pilot Wound! puffy puffy puffy puffy puffy puffy puffy puffy
Oh Insta-Kill! Insta-Kill! You're in the tower! puffy puffy puffy puffy..."

LOL A whine I have never heard before has been recorded.

Recently thought about reactivating my account.  I instantly thought about this post (why I canceled the last time).  I think I am going to keep my money instead. 

Rule #4.

Don't flame the people keeping you in business.

You all need to read some history. Operation Husky: 23 American C-47s shot down by friendly fire.

It's only been a few months. I'm sure you'll eventually get over Hitech joking with another player who's still here.
Have a nice holiday.

I haven't seen Pand hovering too closely near enemy CVs lately, lesson learned maybe (finaly)?

Since ineffective automated puffy firing at enemy bombers is more likely to kill a friendly fighter defending the carrier group, I now just let the enemy buffs sink the CV.  Lesson learned--- WTG team.

Funny how it would seem that this post...

...directed as someone else, who still plays, caused this guy...

At least this is how it reads to me.

well in lmxar's defence puffy ack is the most irritating "feature" of this game (close behind the flipping tank trees), and when you have been hoping for a change for years, seeing that kind of answers from the programmers is a bit disappointing, if no frustating

If you decided not to reactivate because of a 2 month old thread, obviously you were looking for a reason not to reactivate. It is called burnout.

Maybe it’s because the problem as described and discussed in this thread has been around for a very long time. 

And almost always people ask for it to do more damage to friendly's and this IS the FIRST time I have seen it asked for differently.
HiTech

Not sure where you been, but I’ve seen this request raised many times, by many different OP’s.   Flak over a CV group, any CV group, friend or foe should pose a threat to any aircraft in the area, friend or foe. 
It’s been my experience that I can fly B17’s directly on a straight line course directly to an nme carrier, directly over and directly away from ,  and never get touched by flak.   If I do the same thing in a single fighter type aircraft I’m dead meat.

Traveler you are changing the topic, to a general complaint about puffy ack. Obviously that has been around for a long time, and just like your re posting of the great myth that fighters are hit more then bombers (pure and utter nonsenses).

I have seen many complaints about flack that then also state, well if it going to shoot at me, it should also be able to hit the plane following me, to which we respond it all ready does.

So I can remember many request for it to hit friendly's.(the exact opposite request of the OP) I may have missed them, but before this thread, I can not remember one post requesting the flack not to hit friendlies.

I still see humor in these request, you are complaining that ack is to accurate and kills you to much when you fly into it with a fighter. Pand is complaining that the ack is not accurate enough, because it hit him when the ack  was aiming at a different player.

Clarification... flak is not accurate enough when attacking straight and level enemy bombers... Fighters get vaporized.

Again great myth, there is zero, nada, nothing different about shooting at bombers vs fighters. Bombers can simply survive more hits.

First I’m not making a complaint and I’m sorry if you see my observation as a complaint.   I only stated that flak around a CV should be a concern to any pilot of any aircraft .  That’s why German pilots remained away from the flak zones because they took as much damage as the bombers.  While you state that fighters being hit more than bombers as pure and utter nonsense I have to point out, that it’s been my observation and experience that I have flown bombers formations directly at a CV group and kill that CV group and never took a hit .   I’ve attempted to do that with P38L and took lots of damage.  So while you say that is nonsense, my direct experience has been different.  Again, that’s not a complaint.  That’s my observation.

I have never been hit by friendly player controlled 5 inch puffy ack.

I didn't know it was possible.
