Something happened to Flak, it’s suddenly too accurate and shooting at friendlies

[US41_Low]

Just recently started noticing this. Flak won’t shut off when friendlies are near enemy planes in flak vicinity, it keeps shooting. I got hit by friendly flak and so did another.

 

Also there were multiple direct hits by flak on low altitude, maneuvering fighters. 
 

We asked and verified that no server side flak adjustments were made. Was something adjusted by mistake in a recent patch?

It's a server side setting by Jason....recognizes trolls only.

You just noticed something that has been happening for the last 10 years?

I don't think flak ever took the presence of friendlies into account ?

Lol I guess so. Seemed worse suddenly. Never been hit by friendly flak before, and several people indicated that the flak accuracy seems way too high suddenly

Brazo took a direct hit last night in his Se5A over our lines. Simply blew up...

Yep. Been that way since ROF
