You Russians behave as though you know everything about World War Two, and yet all you know is what your totalitarian government force-fed you.  And it's mostly false.

Sorry But I couldn't help burst out laughing reading the above posts about who knows what........lol

Heres my two cents:


NO BODY KNOWS SQUAT ABOUT WW2 UNLESS YOU REALLY WERE THERE DODGING BULLETS AND PRAYING TO BE ALIVE TO SEE TOMORROW.


And if there are some people here who really were there....then I doubt that they'd even bother to dignify your little argument with any sort of response.

EDIT: Oh yeah as far as topic goes, yes i think the 30mm should be able to do more than it does here......My P38s been hit by one often and I still survived without even losing a rudder. It seems totally ineffective against armour also.

It would be totally ineffective against armor. It's not an armor piercing round. Nor is the 37mm on the Yak. The only AP rounds we have in game are the IL2s and the Hurr2Ds.

Wow, really.......never knew that.....so you mean the IL2s 23mm will do more damage to tanks than the 37mm on a Yak????

Benny, youve always come across as arrogant and argumentative to me on the BBS. But in this thread youve gone too far IMHO.

I have come to the conclusion that this problem boils down to connection quality, and applies to all rounds, not just 30mm.

Some nights a short squirt kills, others I hose away hit sprites all over and nothing.

The other night I was chasing a 234 in a komet and saw distinctly 2 hits on the left wing and 1 on the right and ended up just smoking the two engines, normally the wings would be gone.

My squadies probably think I'm nuts when I say things like "wow my rounds are hitting hard tonight" or "dang, rubber bullets tonight".

Me thinks packets hide sometimes.

That could make sense...I have lots of similar expreriences!
BTW, I have mostly almost excellent connection to HTC servers. Ping is approx. 160 ms and variance of delay is very flat....
I can live with that, although, the pings from my PC(in Finland) to the 1st server in american soil are so low as 60-70 ms...Sprintlink server in NYC is the first bottleneck. Then ATTīs server and so on...

Wow.

Somebody got Schatzi P.O.'d! That's impressive!

If they are NOT armour piercing....why do I loose tanks to them?   I have had panzies been blown to bits by the Yak!  Not tracked.  Not engine smoking...I have been killed by them straffing my tank.

well im not sure what are in the tailgunner's ammo bin on the bomber that is capable of holding rockets and 12 - 100lb bombs, but I had a spit RIGHT on my six basically taunting me, about 100 m dead straight on a bit low...and I nailed him with SO many rounds  - I'd have to think I hit with 50-75% of my rounds...

NOTHING happened to him.  He sprayed for a nano second and I was express routed to the tower :(
