In AH1 you would probably hit with all of them.

well you're right. and even w/ my shotgun convergence at anything under about 450 I could snipe off specific parts. It's why my hit % was never over 18 or so. I was shooting at wingtips, tails.

In AHII I could have shot at Godzilla at 50 yards and missed

Any change will make some people unhappy.

Thanks for piping in Fariz... although this doesn't apply to me.

Well Steve, a lot of us were having these upgrade discussions way back last October time. Check the H/S forum. I posted this thread about monitors. What I had read on the BBS up to that point was that it's not much use having a top end video card if your monitor does not have the refresh rate to realise the video card performance. For that reason, I upgraded to my current iiyama VisionMaster Pro-454 which was recommended by Nexx/Replicant.

So if your monitor is 5 years old it probably has a crappy refresh rate, and you're not getting the best out of your vid-card.

Now you have to be mindful of your wing gun convergence settings.

At 50 yards with your convergence its very likely that you are shotting around your taget. Thats a big disadvantage of wing mounted guns.

In AH1 this wasnt a problem because you basically had a sort of "hit bubble" due to a low hit resolution setting which was actually larger than the target plane so near miisses were counted as hits. Now you have to hit the actual body of the plane.

Set convergence to one point at 200 ot 300 yards and try again.

That's the best part of AH.. all the new toys and enhancements. It's like xmas every month for simmers.

Lol sign back up. You guys are so forgiving. I eat a lot of crow... you'd think I'd get used to it.

Imo its probably just a lead thing that takes some getting used to..

Very simple.

Now we have a much higher resolution hit model, ie you really have to hit thev 3D shape to score hits and do damage. This was not exactly the case in AH1, where near misses often counted as hits.

So with that in mind you will get more misses when you shoot at a plane especially with wing mounted guns because gun batteries are so far apart and and cover only a small field of fire.
Therefore the old "shotgun" method is far less effective baecuse now rounds will miss more often and not do critical damage.

Yea honestly you would get some watermelon from people.

But thats why we want you back.. I mean that and uhhhm so you can have fun with the game, yea that too.

But it's gonna be a lot easier to get back in right now rather than under some alias when you finally cave in next month.

And yea I think you will get used to the AH2 in a few weeks..

So you back Steve?

What? I'm just being honest as to the fact that I think its dumb thast he quit for the above stated reasons. The only difference is that I'm expressing that opinion constructively.. For some reason I'm in a good mood today.

About time, now get in there and relearn how to pick cherries.

The gunnery is more fun for me...An advantage for people with good flying skills and a disadvantage for the lucky long range/spray and prayers(and snapshot/HO artists).

The stall/spin model is finally where I always thought it should be.

Two HUGE improvements over AH1 imho.

Btw..My first sorte landed 11 kills F4ud:D
