CV ACK!!!

[trymee]

Seriously????? @ 20000ft above 209 my base and  Im getting slammed by ack from enemy cv that's literally 5 miles off shore,,,, that's just ridiculous,,,, shot me down, not just damage, I was obliterated,,, never in any other sims do you get that many accurate ack hits at that height, from a cv that far away. If that's the norm,,,, I will stay away from the mains and only fly with my squad if they fly the scenarios..... Rant over,,,,,,

[Lusche]

If losing a plane every now and then by CV ack is sufficient to drive you away from the main...


... your frustration tolerance is even less than mine, which I always thought being almost impossible 

[trymee]

I was high fighting 2 f6fs and an f4u, staying high above all 3,,,,, I had already got damaged from the ack b4 the encounter with them, but as soon as I start engaging them the ack from cv 5 miles away lit me up hitting me like 5 times. oil all over widscreen and dead engine instantly,,,, that's just bs! No ill will towards the 3 fighters, not their fault or doing. But seriously it needs toned down if that's the norm.

The best course of action to avoid CV ack is to fly level bombers straight at it.

Actually, I believe it already HAS been toned down from what it was. Not only that, there is considerably less puffy than what there normally would be realistically (if I am not mistaken.)

I understand your frustration, most of us have been there at one point or another.   The puffy only starts targeting you if you are over 3,000 ft when you are within it's range.

Unless I'm in the 5in, then you better just stay away entirely

Get in a buff. It does nothing to them lol

I'm always amazed when people complain about being shot down by CV auto puffy ack.  I've been on AH since version 1.0 and I have only been shot down by CV ack once, and that was my own CV.

About 3 times for me.

That's only because you're always IN the guns.

What's really obnoxious is, as in the OP's complaint, when the CV gets close enough to an enemy base that the puffy ack is over the defenders' field or town. That's just silly. The CV plotting routine should reject any course plot that comes within 6 miles or so of an enemy field or town.

I don't think a cv should come any closer than dar ring.  And even I find THAT too close.  But until we get invasion type task forces or unless they recode the CV's to allow spawning of LVT's from so far out, it's just not possible.  That part of the complaint I can understand.



Now the complaint about being shot down for flying in ack is a different issue.  If you fly in the ack, expect to get greased.  If you don't want it to happen, stay out of it.

I get completely annihilated by puffy ack the very second I pop over 3K every single time. 

Why am I not allowed to climb to the bad guys circling our base at 5K? It gets pretty bad when the attacking team bring the cv so close to the shoreline that it becomes an ack battle. The defending team circles over their field and town ack because they can't go any further without cv ack destroying them, and the attacking team circles their cv ack because they don't want to go near the airfield and town ack.

My frustration peak when you are flying :

1 At 7k flying from a off-front field to defend the field you will have on the other side of that mountain.
2 have no vis of the carrier, behind that same mountain
3 blow up in the first barrage from that CV.

To me its kinda .... strange....

I wasn't flying in ack myself, I was defending a field " 209" I was 20000ft, cv was 5 miles offshore, Im directly above my base, so technically that ship was atleast 6 to 7 miles from me and hitting me like it was a mile away

exactly and that's exactly what this attacking force did

CV acid is better but still over modeled.
