Morpheus. Please remove your Avatar. That can get me fired at work.

If you dont remove it, I'll have to email HTC.

A lot of us read the board from the workplace and things are strict.

the problem with the hit sprites is they all look the same. whether its a pea shooter or not. i've always been able to down a plane with one hit from my 30mm. p51s would always piss me off cause a lot of times only the elevators would come off. then someone would come along and steal the kill. but other than that i havent experienced any loss in the power of the 30mm. but as i was saying before. before you post about your hits, remember that you're not always firing just the 30mm, unless u dont have gondolas and u lay off the MG. i use both so i surrender to the fact that its my gunnery that is the prob when i dont down a plane.

I think most people that know what they are doing fire the cannon and the Mg seperately. And most people that use the 30mm don't take the 20mm for the same reason.

every Mk-108 hit ive got = kill. Unless its bombers, in which case 95% of the hits are kills.....

Couldn't the overall "increase" in hits needed come from the higher number of "hit boxes" modelled on the aircraft? What used to all be counted against one larger location could now be spread over several boxes, meaning that same total hit damage doesnt reach kill threshold in any one box....

I don't know Sim, but that is a good a theory as any I've heard.
