Recoil When Firing

[flakbait]

Here's the recoil figures for an Ns-37 cannon, since we're getting one in 1.06:

Gun weight: 330.69 lbs
Muzzle velocity: 2952 ft/sec
Shell weight: 25.72 oz
Rate of fire: 260 rounds/min
Muzzle energy: 217,692 ft-lbs
Recoil velocity: 18.991 ft/sec
Recoil energy: 194.067 ft-lbs

As a reference, a 240 grain bullet from a .44 Remington Magnum kicks with a force of 14.44 ft-lbs.

Right about now having a calculation for powder volume would help a lot. Since just about every large caliber shell has a bottle-neck it's difficult to figure the exact volume it can hold. I'll post more when I find the info.

Jig, you sure they didn't just have the PT throttle down a bit? Unless it's on full you won't get the full Death Blossom effect.

Nope. My old machine was apparently special.

I had both running side by side today and couldn't get the same results be executing the same thing.

Oreo.

Another articfical handicap maybe?

One thing that constantly surprises me is chogs climbing up to my 109G10 in a zoom climb, firing their 4 cannon all the way up and still coming nearly up to my level. Or at least hight enough that when I stall and drop they end up above me. This makes no sense whatsoever. The 109G10 outclimbs chog by a bunch and I never try climbing over one unless im pulling away and have good seperation. Something must be wrong if a poor climber like chog doesnt get affected by this force in real combat.

I've seen it also Grun the chog has now an amazing zoom ability. Even when the laser cannons are in full blast power.

read a refrence about c hog main thing the guy noticed was she lost speed in a dive when firing . hey but funked god of math says its right , but then he always does. dosent he

Towd you are either a liar or you don't read very many of my posts.  I find fault with this game quite frequently.

But the recoil (at least on the P-51D) is correct.

The reason my calculations usually agree with the HTC model is not because I am cooking up numbers to make them look good, as you have insinuated.  The reason is that HTC do a damn good job on most of the vehicle dynamics in the game.

You can't keep classifying people as cheerleaders just because they disagree with you.
