Thank you HTC...

Let all who have ears hear...HTC does grant well researched wishes!


Fixed in latest patch...

Il-2 37mm cannons are no longer synced together.

HTC listens a lot more than people give them credit for.....

 

If they aren't careful they are going to start spoiling us with all of these updates.

How do you think unsyncing them is going to help you?

Thats what its all about right? The IL2s are interfering with your tank game so you want them gelded eventually right?

Simple economics. For every one dedicated IL2 driver, and theres only a few of us, there are probably 50 tank drivers.

Anyhoo I just upp an IL2 offline and didnt feel much difference at all when it comes to my killing ability. Give me a night or two and I'll know for sure.

P.S. Im sure the whining will continue. BTW I'd laugh my arse off if AH gave us PTABs.

The Wirble is definately going to be less lethal with low, fast moving cons.

un-syncing the cannons does sod all to the acuraccy. I'm all for historical acuraccy though.

Seems to me that HTC has done a great job balancing the dynamic between wirbel/il-2.

Wasn't the wirbel introduced with the same patch that gave the IL-2 the 37mm?

And now the wirb turret reduction comes with 37mm unsynching; I applaud HTC for thinking about game balance. It's one thing to make changes, a better thing to make historically accurate changes, and the best thing to make historically accurate changes that keep the gameplay in balance. Good job.

Nope.

well researched

Well chosen words.

No difference from what I can see. Honestly Waystin, your a nice kid but I dont see what your in such a lather about with this airplane. The tank you like arent modeled 100% Historically correct either. Ive spent an entire night getting potshotted by main tank cannon. Something which never happened in the war. Elevation degree and speed? Accuracy? Range? Reload times? How accurate is all that in the tanks? So be carefull what you wish for.

Ive been killing tanks all night. The IL2 hasnt skipped a beat.

It wasnt worth all the obsessing. If I ever see you in your Sherman I'll show you why.

Rich why have your posts been so defensive lately? As far as I can tell, this thread was started in the spirit of a triumph of historical realism over interpretive realism. It's not a "hurrah, nerf the tank busters!" Your replies in this and other threads lately have been so "me against the world". Relax, do your thing in the IL-2, we know you're good at it. We just appreciate changes that reflect historical accuracy, whether they make things easier for the tanker or the tank buster.

If that is how the guns were designed to fire, then I have been totally missing the mark about what the fuss was about.  I thought the issue was that, historically, they became unsynced in a continuous fire mode.  My bad, I guess.

At any rate, I used the IL-2 as much as I could tonight.  I really didn't notice much change in accuracy.  In fact, I think there is an unintended side effect that many will not like . . . now that it is a more continuous stream of hot lead, it is harder for enemy planes to fly between volleys.

Well, I poked 6 in short order (yes, 2 were jeeps) in MW today with the modified IL with no problem; so for me it has not affected my game play.  Now the slower turrets on the WW/OST did effect a flurry of comments directed to me on 200.

Relax trotter. Nobody is "defensive". So dont get all worked up.

The entire thing stinks of hypocrosy. It would be better described as "we just appreciate changes that dont impact my game except maybe to help it".

Geez trott, you should have told me that at first.

I never realized all this was 

started in the spirit of a triumph of historical realism over interpretive realism.

I thought it was all "Internet gaming dooshbaggery over interpretive dooshbaggery". Thanks for setting me straight.

Thing is nothing has changed. So you IL2 haters can quit your smirking. Aces High is still providing a terrific ground attacker of GVs so keep your tactics straight.

Waystin......your still smirking at your uncle Rich.
