I thought it would be nice if there were a couple anti aircraft guns scattered around each teams base. They would shoot a little slower than an airplanes guns. And would take 2-4 hits to blow them up and would reappear after 30-60 seconds.
How about it? What do you think? :huh:

This has been discussed before, and we decided that it'd create too much lag. We all thought it.was.a.good idea, but not until people get.new devices. :):)

I don't really agree ;) because then tanks should produce MAJOR lag cause they are moving while these would be stationary. Same with walking soldier :)

I don't know about you guys...but the walking soldier already acts as a sort of AA gun. Last time I was walking -- I took down 7-8 planes with ease.

Oh and Hamers -- you're right. No AA guns were accurate until around the mid 60's. Most AA systems consisted of firing a LOT of explosive bullets packed with shrapnel in the hopes of messing up the fuselage/engines.

Lol, let me give you a couple pointers, calvin. Try too aim on their upcoming movements....such as, they will most likely be coming closer too the ground. So just line that up, and you can kill planes easily.

Yeah, i practiced some yesterday, i did pretty good! Killed a soldier, a plane, and a tank with one guy! I then walked into the enemy base, where i made all the planes crash into me. Human>Plane! Haha! Theyd come out of the side of the runway slowly, and before they could get up to shoot me, theyd hit me! :P eventually someone bombed me. Got like 15 kills like that. I apologized for it, but they were laughing the whole time. :)

Slenderman u cant take down 7-8people with a soldier. They have limited ammo and it takes 6shots to take 1 plane down.
And can u not change the game plz. I likebit the way it is. Qnd its already hard enough to bomb the base.

I can assure you -- you can. 40 bullets is enough to take down many planes with careful shot placement. I'll demonstrate on you next time I see you in game, mate.

Essentially, you can get 10 kills with the soldier alone (do the math). However, that's considering you hit with every round. As you can see, I didn't and therefor only got about 7-8 kills (I don't remember how many, but I know it was at least 7).

And that children is math. ;)

And yeah! How did I do this? Steady hand, mate! I have insanely good hand eye coordination/reflexes (from both sharpshooting and sports).

Whenever I do skeet shooting (launching clay disks in the air which you shoot), you have to be able to "predict" where it'll be when you place your shot. Same thing with Dogfight. You just have to predict where they'll fly and shoot there. They'll then "fly into the bullet" per se.

Yeah, I've been working on it, and I downed a couple planes! :) What sports do you play?

Yeah, I'd hope that most people know what skeet shooting is! ;) :P :P Yeah, predicting is a big part of it. Skeet shooting's different cuz the skeet don't change direction. Btw, do you go to a range to shoot, or do you have a launcher?

Everything! I'm good at generally most sports. Though, I'm not exactly a big fan of American football, hahahah. I find it lame. Baseball is awful too -- if you're a spectator.

I'll post more later, I gotta bounce!


And actually -- I own a very large portion of land and built my own private range out here. There's also a large canyon where I live. I enjoy going there and setting up a launcher there as well.

Cool! Considering that I live right in Duck country, I love football! Go Ducks! Haha, jeez man, you're hatin' on my favorite sports! :P Baseball can get kinda boring if it's not a good game. We got tickets to a Mariners-Yankees series last summer, and they were all great games! Somehow, the Mariners actually won two of three! :P :)

Nice, a private range! Very cool! B) :)

Yeah...I like the Yankees and the phillies. Boy, do the Yankees stink this year so far, though :P They're all "look at me" players. (that drives me nuts!)

My favorite sport is basketball. I started for junior high last year, and if I work hard I will start JV this year!! I'm really excited abut that opportunity ;) See y'all soon,

Green freedom

P.s. should I make my name like a "no name", too kinda get back at those top 10 aces?

If he can it should look like this.

Anti air guns do sound really cool but a normal bomb the carrier mission last for 45min anti air guns would just make it so much longer.
