that would be because the guns ar usually mounted on something as opposed to you just holding them.
So the recoil shows up as more of a vibration then a shove you back recoil.
Since your holding the gun. it would only make sence you would vibrate too.

The vibrations are fine. Even when Zoomed all the way in or, all the way out I have little trouble hitting anything with machine guns.

BTW. I noticed last night the MG's on the Tigers dont vibrate...at all

Still havent tried the osti.
But I am rarely ever able to hit anything with an osti anyway

A lot, if not most, that have to deal with it don't like it. Let alone the fact that more and more people that use GVs or Buff guns are reporting headaches due to eyestrain.

I don't like it. NOT IN FAVOR.

If they drank less they probably woudnt have the headaches, or nausea.
drunkards typically dont do well operating things that shake. Makes em puke.

MGs that sit perfectly still are more playstation like then realistic.

Realistically the Guns shook. And since your holding the gun logic would dictate YOU would shake too. And since your shaking. it would seem like the whole world was shaking.

IMO the guns (osti notwithstanding) and the shaking do pretty much what they should do.

Leave em alone. Give it some time to get used to it.
I barely even notice it.
Then again I barely ever drink alot

I find the shaking in the osti as a bit excessive.

On the buffs a minor inconvienence.

On the barrel of tank? How much does a tank barrel weigh anyways? ...its just plain silly it moves more from the turret mg than it does firing an AP round.

The only thing that does NOT shake when a machine gun is fired is a Fighter! Now that I find shocking, especially when you consider 20mm, 30mm and 37mm guns that have zero effect on the pilot or plane when these cannon are fired.

Makes you wonder if they ever watched file footage from the American gun cameras in WWII? Those images show clearly that the guns caused the wings to shake/vibrate on F4U's with only 50 cals. Now imagine the kick from 20 and 30mm guns? But nothing moves when the fighter pilot pulls the trigger. If you are going to make an osti dance, a tank shake and the bomber guns vibrate....ya gotta extend that to fighters too.

Just my opinion... I may be wrong.

Orrrr people who don't like the "headshake" have become to use to having zoom all the way in. This seams more playstation like to me. Kind of like any fps with a scope. Seam like a win the war land grabber wanting people to play like he wants. They want rock steady guns so they can snipe from farther out.

A lot ,no all players have headshake now. Just like fighters do if they zoom all the way in. Take an asprin and don't zoom all the way in . there no more headache.

I love it. I AM IN FAVOR

OHH 1 more thing.

Wrong, fighters shake as well. Always have. All HTC did was level the playing feild.

Oh and I'm all for it! Nothing like being in my buffs at 2K, blasting away at fighters with the world shaking like mad!@##!@

Bronk, you are teh wurst typerer EVAR, but I agree. Zip it and tolerate what the rest of the MA has been.

I like it.
Adds to the realism.

Without realism all this game would be is an arcade.

I grew out of 'Space Port' decades ago.

You can always play 'Air Attack' if all you want is an arcade game.

Lol, 2nd person to mention 'realism' in this thread.
We are playing the same game here, aren't we?

Realism -
Perfect Summer days
No fog
No bad weather
No night
Min 75% fuel
1940 planes up against 1945 planes
Tigers flipped by a blade of grass
Tank rounds bouncing off M3's
Tank rounds stopped by a blade of grass
GV's hiding under bomb craters
Dive bombing Lancs / B17s

Yup sure sounds realistic to me.

We now return you to your scheduled 'Air Quake' available in the MA every day.

{edit} Forgot to answer original question - not in favour, all that should 'shake' is the sight.

MadSquirrel · « **Reply #27 on:** March 28, 2006, 01:32:02 PM »

Kev367th you are correct. The only thing that should move are the sights.

As for recoil, of all the automatic weapons that I have fired, any "Vibration" was absorbed by my arms and body. Never once did my eyes blur from "Vibration".

Fired a GPMG, LMG, SMG, none of which gave the head shakes, but on long bursts aiming point would change.

Thank you!!!!!!

For those who can't see it or understand what is being talked about, can't be playing the same game or are refusing to see the truth. I have pity for them, or maybe not.
