Who porked the Mk 108?
« on: March 31, 2008, 07:26:05 PM »
No conspiracy theory here, but is it possible that something changed with the new version of AH?  I get a lot more assists on aircraft that show no visible dammage, and forget hitting the fuselage of a bomber instead of the engines or wings, even with 7-8 shells.  The Mk 108 seemed a little weak before, but now it is worse. :noid

Sometimes it works in my favor.  A very good K-4 pilot caused me to overshoot the other day, and popped me with the 30mm, but only my engine died.  No fire, no other dammage.  I was able to glide away for a ditch and rob him of his kill. :rolleyes:

Programmers who play this game have said that it is very easy to change something by accident... I would appreciate it if this were looked into.

My 108 kills as good as before. No change.

A very good K-4 pilot caused me to overshoot the other day, and popped me with the 30mm, but only my engine died.  No fire, no other dammage. 

I don't see anything wrong with that. One hit completely wrecked you engine. That#s quite a bit of damage and, after all, a one hit kill.

The only thing I hate is when I clearly hit a wing or rear fuselage and the engine starts to smoke...

it's nerfed but it has been for some time now.  I just get in close and pop the other guy's henpit.  that usually solves the problem.

forgive me for IR noob, but what in Sam Hill is a MK108?

More specifically, it's the 30mm cannon found on the 109K-4 (G-14 optional), 110G-2, Ta-152, Me 262 and 163.  Its muzzle velocity is rather slow, but it has a high rate of fire for its size.

I've noticed this, I've needed to double-peg fighters lately to make sure they go down.

Maybe it's just me but it seems like the time between a hit registering on my FE and the corresponding catastrophic damage occurring has increased.

This was happening (and there are posts regarding it) before this most recent update.
