lmao kweasaa this aint my first picnic... I have been playing these games longer than most here (About 14 years now)... multiple 30mm hits on ONE pass should have been mission ender for that guy but i made 4 fast slashing passes, and because i didnt want to end up on his dead 6 it took awhile to set up the last 2 passes.
One thing I've learned during my stay with MMOG's is that when people bring up something, its
always the game's fault. It's never their own fault.
They never make mistakes regularly, they never exaggerate towards their own favor, they never misunderstand what's really going on... and for one, they never, ever
HAVE ANY PROOF. Always.
Sooner or later, a guy with my cynical nature and critical mind comes up wondering if these guys were really seeing any UFO in the first place, instead of keep mixing them up with some weather balloons. More than likely the tale is an elaborate fabrication reflecting their own wishes and desires than ever, the truth itself. One would sooner believing in the Amityville Hoax than find any inclination of truth in one of these stories.
My own experience with online aerial combat games spans a little over than 11 years. I've seen zillions of typical spook stories and rarely any truth.
I dont doubt that a pilot wound was the result of his hit... but he should have been dead a few minutes before he got his shots to land. When you have 2x30mm abd 2x20mm plus cowl guns hitting this guy he should have been swiss cheese.
And how would you know?
There are many factors involving in aerial gunner ranging from type of weapons to quality of hit, relative kinetic energies, vicinity of each sequential impact from HE shells, and etc etc.. Without any viable proof to account for your claims it is always your word against the game system - and I've learned that the game system rarely lies. It's always the people who lie about stuff - whether it is intentional, or a result of pure misunderstanding.
Not to mention my own experience with 20mms and 30mms are more than satisfactory under the conditions you've described. I myself become a counter-evidence to your claims, rendering your words meaningless.
So next time you want to claim something, bring factual proof with you. Otherwise nobody ever looks upon these kind of threads with any kind of seriousness, since it'd be more than likely a waste of time.
