Why is the QC Archie trying to kill ME?

[Hauksbee]

Had to do a complete re-install of OFF and CFS3 today to smooth out the glitches from yesterday [strange doin's in QC]. The good news is that every time I re-install, my realism level creeps higher. Living in QC, as I do, I give myself unlimited ammo and fuel, and I bloody well can't be bothered with dying. [Time enough for that later.] On first install, I was somewhere around -700+, today I was only at -130. Not bad.

 

Normally I set Archie at 'Least Accurate'. I have no interest in AA; all I want to do is chase Huns. [unless I am one]. Today, I was completely bracketed by shell bursts. My SE-5 was bouncing wildly and got flipped over twice. I had taken off my headphones so I didn't hear the AA at first. I thought I was stalling the plane. Then when I put them back on, I realized they were shooting exclusively at me! I'm over my own air base and I see [labels on] British troop columns, and Renault trucks, and out in front of me is this Albatros in completely clean, open air. [i hear Olham laughing his ass off.] This continues as we spiral down until we're both in the weeds, and the Archie is still clobbering me. Admitedly, it never took me out, though I was expecting it at any minute. But why me? Doesn't the AI know that I'm one of the good guys over my own airbase?

Ooops - you heard that? Lol!!! Buy them a bottle of brandy - you'll have the best friends then.

Oh my! I thought my -60 was bad. But I do so like the strong gun settings.

Are you flying QC via workshops?

Are you flying QC via workshops?

If I take your meaning right...then, yes. And I now have the AA set to 'Least Effective". When I started this thread, it was on the middle setting. I was just wondering why, if I'm over friendly territory, the AI has me targeted?

WM is asking if you are using the CFS3 QC option in Workshops, also if you are close to the lines then you are fair game still.

No, I'm not using CFS3 QC Option.
