Don't know if it's just a rumor but the argument against nerfing Puffy is "you just need to manuever more and instead of straight and level flight while in puffy ack"...thinking more and more that it's a rumor and it doesn't really matter at all what you do while in it...manuevering will make it harder for 5 inchers but the auto puffy is the best at this game after trees.....

I very rarely get hit by puffy when in a fighter NOT attacking the CV. Predictable will get you killed. If your zoom climbing after a target, your dead, but if your turning and burning at 5K with 3 it isn't puffy you have to worry about.

It does seem that is you fly over in a perk plane you can kiss that baby goodbye.

Try flying in a Pony then.  Maybe it is just a Pony thing.

I have been at 25K with a CV barely in vis range and PING.  Oiled.   Or PING.  PK.

Tonight I was diving away from the CV (never went anywhere near it in terms of "attack") at 450+ turning, climbing, diving, etc..  Ping.  Oiled.  Ping.  PW.

Total bull hockey.

Oh yeah, I get so scared when the radars go down.  :x :x Anyone that has played the game for any length of time does not need a radar to play and attack and figure out where the red guys are.

I like the part about radars.

When there's numbers, I agree with you, but when you're trying to find 1 to 2 cons in a sector (and they're the only ones on a front) it's just another thing that gets in the way of an interaction.
