[A77] WashedandDeceased Players 891 posts 20,781 battles Report post #9 Posted April 5, 2019 LOL, I experienced the same thing in my Audacious yesterday just as I was about to attack an enemy Bismarck. Full squadron, instantly evaporated. Since I'm pretty new to CVs I just figured I'm a potato and flew into flack, even though I didn't see it at the time.. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[TORAZ] El2aZeR Beta Tester 15,786 posts 26,801 battles Report post #15 Posted April 5, 2019 Here is the question: If Alaska activates DFAA and/or has all flak damage buffs skilled, is it enough to make flak oneshot Haku planes? If yes, then the explanation is fairly easy. Haku flew straight into the lovely thing that is called invisible flak (yes, that exists). You can see the wall spawning shortly before planes all die with a perceived gap in it. That gap probably isn't real. If not, then I have no idea what happened. Haven't experienced this personally either. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[HAKUY] Yosha_AtaIante Players 8,032 posts 19,168 battles Report post #16 Posted April 5, 2019 The problem is that it doesn't just happen around an Alaska but all ships, some report it happening after leaving AA range and making a U-turn! ☆ I had it happen on an t8 Ognevoi before while my 6 rocket planes all green suddenly dropped :/ ☆ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd wait on an offical comment on it, but just keep in mind that invisible flak is actually a thing. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can see the wall spawning shortly before planes all die with a perceived gap in it. That gap isn't real. If not, then I have no idea what happened. Haven't experienced this personally. Not really. Keep in mind: -planes in attack mode still have dmg reduction of 30% -flak deals dps to all planes caught within, so to deal "1500" damage plane needs to say for 1s within flak, unlikely due to plane speed. On clip planes just ended boosting shortly before wipe, so any flak fired shortly after last seen wave should overshoot -due to TB squad positions, even if invisible wall of flak was hit, two TBs on the deck would stay unharmed, as flak spawns above them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wipe happens precisely where the wall supposedly is, which is why I theorized invis AA as the cause. I realize base flak can't wipe full HP planes, but DFAA in combination with all flak damage skills COULD maybe do it. 30% damage reduction would be negated by BFT + AA mod 2 and DFAA would boost DPS to way over a single plane's health. In addition to that planes are decelerating, meaning they'll spend more time in flak. I wouldn't know because I know how to DODGE! 4 minutes ago, Panocek said: -due to TB squad positions, even if invisible wall of flak was hit, two TBs on the deck would stay unharmed, as flak spawns above them Actually I found that passing below flak bursts does actually still deal damage (unless they changed that? Don't think so tho). I think WG coded a minimum height for the visual flak so as to not obstruct sight of your target, but the actual damage dealing part will still hit your planes. Would make sense at least. Again, I don't know for sure what happened. I wouldn't be surprised if wipes like this were caused by some bug at all, but I've played quite a few matches yesterday and haven't had this happen in any of them.

[-RT-] Maaseru Players 727 posts 16,956 battles Report post #24 Posted April 5, 2019 No, Haku 2-drop flies below flak as most TBs do during their attack run. You don't eat any flak dmg at all. I experienced the same bug yesterday as well but in Midway. Entire TB squad gone while flying through Worcester AA to my target. Some planes got yellow so ~22k health and suddenly entire squad dead and no, I didn't hit flak. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
