20mm changes in 1.05?
« on: January 04, 2001, 09:42:00 AM »
Anyone else seeing a change in how much lead is required to hit with 20mm?

From what I'm hearing the HS didn't change at all, yet it seems that the 20mm Shvak cannons in the LA5n take at least double the lead it used too.

I know dispersion was reworked a bit, but that shouldn't effect overall trajectory should it?

Gosth....I have noticed it takes more ammo from the cannon in the YAK also.  Could just be my aim is not where it needs to be after the 1.05 change to the bullet "cone" also.  But I don't have any "numbers" to provide, its just a "feel" sort of thing so guess my point may be invalid.

Anyway....have noticed it also.

i had to rework my gun site to compensate for the changes in the guns. I use to have the dots right were i wanted them. place the plane on the dot at d600 in a 2g turn and bingo. with the new guns i had to bring all the gots closer to the center.

RWY OUT !!

I'm not sure the Shvak's have been toned down - if anything they are even more lethal.

In 1.05 I fly the la5 exclusively for a2a, and have 50 a2a kills, versus 9 deaths.

The la5 still rocks.

Yes they are still lethal, wasn't saying that at all. My point was it seems to take double the lead required to hit. Must just be me though.

LA5 Rocks no matter how you cut it

 I'm probably going to get into trouble with this one.   But, connex seem to make a bigger difference with 1.05. If im hosting H2H I am shocked at how deadly the 20mm are. If I go into another arena,especially a laggy one. I can see a big difference. This is likely why you are getting different results. And its not just your connex. It is the other guys also.

 If you want to measure how strong your guns really are. Host aH2H session.
