There are so many things wrong with your take on the one event with 999000 it would take pages to explain it.  Suffice it to say, buffs can still shoot down fighters to some degree.  It just seems we've been crippled to an unreasonable degree.

Good advice.  Right up there with, "when you're getting boned, smile and enjoy it".

Yeah because hitting a 350mph weaving aircraft from over a kilometer away at near 90 degree deflection with a single37mm shell is nothing like a PS2 gam3r'5 idea of realistic.

I don't get it.  If head shake bothers you so match, why don't you people just stop shaking your heads? :confused:

Just as realistic as a single 110 sneaking in to a vh and destroying the hangers and acks in 2 passes.

why is it so hard for people to understand there wasnt very many. if any hardened bunkers at airfeilds or bases during WWII? And the ones there were typically werent used for housing aircraft, ammo, fuel and troops

 The fronts were simply moving too fast to make them practical.

Most everything that was housed. if it was housed at all was done so under tent canvas or corrgated metal not a whole lot thicker then a soup can.

Bullets could pierce either quite easily not to mention cannon rounds.

If anything. Ammo bunkers,barracks, Fuel, and hangars are a hell of alot harder in the game then they ever were IRL

Remember. We're talking 1939-1945 here,
Not the year 2000 where there is a need for such weapons as Bunker busters
Death is no easy answer
For those who wish to know
Ask those who have been before you
What fate the future holds
It ain't pretty

Bottom line:   in this game we're talking 1939 defense (and only half of it...nothing manned on the ground can kill a bomber at 3000 AGL) against 1945 offense.  

Might as well rename the land grab portion of this game Blitzkreig.  Good luck finding people who are happy playing the role of the French and Polish.

Why because the can zooom all the way in and have perfect sight picture.  If you put your eye that close to any gun sight its going to move . The closer you put it the bigger the movement seems.  Once again you now have what all fighters have had to deal with when zoomed all the way in. Sorry HT took your crutch away. Now go learn how to do it not zoomed in .


Ohh once again.
:cry :cry :cry

Bronk

First off,  not a "sore spot", and I garuntee you a weeks wages that if HT did an update and the C47 flew no different than a 190-d9 we'd hear about it.

Secondly, I see no where in any of my posts pertaining to "buff furballers" Not sure where this came from, but then again don't really care.

Thirdly, I never said "it's all about GV's"  if I remember correctly the thread was about "headshake" NOT,  "thread about GV's only" ?

Next, I don't know that much about attacking buffs in a plane or how to even do it. I don't know why you get "picked off" at 1k, you'll have to ask HT.
As far as "sniping" you in the Ostwind 1k away is a joke in itself. 1st, there's no "sniping" in an AA platform. Weather zoomed in or not AA works off the principle of sending as many projectiles into the sky as possible hoping you either hit the target or the target runs into one.
Note: this is where our squad name was derived from
LTAR = Lead To Air Ratio (object, fill the sky with lead) that's what AA batteries do. They don't "snipe", so if you caught a round at 1k away, there was probably 1000's of rounds that missed and maybe you should stay further away?

Lastly, weather I or anyone else can "zoom" in or out is irrelevant. If HT want's to make it that no one can "zoom" in or out that is fine. I can live with that, but to make the screen blury and shake is absurd. If the "GUNSIGHT" shakes, fine, but to make the target and it's surroundings shake, thats crazy.
