?'s about buff guns for HT and Pryo

[Raubvogel]

Something is funky with buff guns. Most of the time I start taking hits as I'm rolling away from the tracers, like there's a delay or something. Also, tracers that appear to be passing harmlessly over your head are suddenly ripping your plane to pieces. And yes, usually all I hear is *ping..ping...crack*, there goes a wing.

You should hear ever ping but sounds like there could be a bug there.  Have you ever asked the other guy how many times he hit you?  

The next time I engage a buff and get shot down I'll ask him how many hit sprites he saw.

But that could open another can of worms.... if the buff only sees 5-10 hits, why is the wing detached from an attacking fighter when a P-51D can lay 3 seconds of hit sprites into a bandit and only pop an aileron off?

Us buff pilots ping you many many many times with our guns, lots of flashes, but they hit you like a shotgun.  I'm guessing that this is just represented by the "one ping" business.

no kidding ...
yesterday i was hanging behind a B-17 at about 1.2k out, thinking how to handle this ... then ; ping, ping, wingless Seafire.
guess i'll have to change convergence settings too ...
