Luck of the ASBATT

[SkyRock]

I see 2 30mm hits with one being on the right elevator. click here

Actaully you only hit with the 13mm's mgs not the 30mm tater.You hit 4 times ,1 in the right wing root,2 in the mid quarter below the pilot and down the right side,1 in the righ elv.None of these were 30 mm hits as evidenced by the small hit sprite instead o the large hit sprite associated with 30mm hits.Nice move on the overshoot,but you just missed on the tatergun.If you play the film at speed.01 you'll see he actually flew through them 30mm rounds.Balistics and rate of fire on the 30mm are so slow and so much drop that it's very possible to do this,how be it does require a good deal of luck.

Yup you hit him 4x with 13mm guns.

Note that 30mm uses the same 2d hit sprite outside a certain range (i.e. when you use it on bombers you'll see this more often) - it's a LOD thing.

Looks like your first cannon round(s) passed low under the nose, and the second/third passed under the tail (too low). That's just a guess.

thnx for imput I was looking at the puff clouds saw 2 of them.  One of those where you see sprites and just think at least some damage, but ASBATT said 0% damage reported when he checked.   Is there a way where u can just fire the tater tosser?

Ah yes, I'm so used to a/c passing thru my 30mm bursts ...

[Krusty]

That was a high speed, slashing, snapshot. Almost no chance of a 30mm hit, in my experience.

There are 3 fire modes. "Fire Primary," "Fire Secondary," and "Fire both."

F = Fire primary
B = Fire secondary
N = Fire both

^-- I think those are the default keys. I have my joystick mapped to have 2 buttons. I press both (trigger + thumb) when I want to fire both. It only took a little getting used to. I only have a small number of buttons on my stick but I devoted one to this.

Just go into stick mapping and it's all in there.

It is usually mapped to your secondary fire button.  I imagine (since you are asking) that you have all your weapons mapped to your trigger.  If you do any bombing, the button you use to drop the bombs should be your "cannon only" choice too.

You can map individual sets of weapons to individual buttons.  My joystick defaults to mgs only on trigger, thumb button 2 for secondary fire only, thumb button three for all weapons fire.  (Not exactly sure why I leave it mapped like this -- just we-todd-did I suppose).

EDIT:  Should have figured Krusty would beat me to it.

Definitely!  I concurr! I thought I had the dmn thing mapped to just toss taters with the button I was pressing in the film.  It wasn't until I saw the film that I noticed the MG's were firing as well.  I pwn thee anyway.....right?

Yes, but Creton is better than you

[FX1]

Thats one reason why i dont fly LW with taters. Snapshots are just so low % shot that a great move can get ya killed.
