The tater chucker get nerfed?

[grizz441]

Classic luftwhiner statement.  Stating we now have shells that are duds (of course only the luft wafa 30 mil are duds and less effective).

Which do you think is more probable?

Please send us the film so we can take a look.

  Yeah, I'm whining, only because I've noticed an increased frequency lately.

I had posted a couple films in this thread a couple weeks ago about taters straight to fuselages of La7s and no damage, twice in the same sortie.

 Unfortunately, no one downloaded them and speedyshare deleted the films.  I will reupload them later when i get home from work to the Muppet ftp site and link them here and maybe you can check them tomorrow if you aren't too busy.  They will be edited down.  Thanks.

Well the allies don't have any 30mm shells, so it must be only German rds

I have to agree though...I understand hitting the engine and killing the engine/and/or oil...but I can't count how many times I've hit the horiz stab and it's flown off with a half of one.

I hit a tempest with a tater in the left wing and knocked it's wing off. This being at ~50 feet, it went into some crazy spin that I deemed uncontrollable, so I pulled off. I didn't get a kill after 5 seconds or so so I look back to see the tempest regained control perfectly with a half wing and landed 10 minutes later.  I thought that was unreal that he pulled out of that crazy flat/vert spin that the typhs and temps can do with their tail, at under 100 feet, with out a wing.

I've experienced that taking the tail off, so I fly on only to have it pull in behind my 38G, with a couple of 109K4s lately

much ado about nothing in the overall scheme of things as far as I can tell.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say the opposite about the 30 mm.
a few weeks ago i was in a mossie v a 109. i got hit "once" and lost a wing. 10 mins later same thing happened. 1 hit 1 wing gone.
same guy same plane. i was that fuming at it i acted a pillock on 200 and insinuated the C word.

30mm HE round in a plywood aircraft?

Not rocket science

[JunkyII]

Hmm lets see, Mossie is brand new plane using a new damage system, possible new bug in a new plane?

or

Thank you for the response HiTech. If I get any new films I will email them to you all at HTC for lab tests

The Mosquito's wooden was more resistant to HE rounds than the aluminum skins of other aircraft.

Be careful when you assume...

Tater hit to the cockpit area of a KI84 from almost point blank.
Ive posted more if you want to see those also.

[grizz441]

Hitech, here are the two duds that happened in the same sortie, about 1-2 minutes apart IIRC.  Films are edited down to ten seconds a piece for your viewing pleasure.  Taters to dead center of La7s.  No apparent damage.  Thank you for taking a Luftwhiner seriously, I hope you don't regret it.

Gotta go with the Luffberry Luftwaffe Weinies on this one HiTech... although the Mossi is brand new the pictures in this thread were of a 109 30mm into a (spitfire?)

If this had taken place a few weeks ago, you would've been towered instantly, not just lost your wing..

FYI, I don't think the Mosquito got a new damage model as compared to v2.18.

When I was a kid it used to infuriate my dad when my mom would say, "the car is making a funny noise".  He would always tell her she was imagining things.  Problem was, sometimes she was right and after me, my brother and my mom spent a hot Houston afternoon broke down on the side of the road, guess who caught some healthy hell that night?

She drove the car everyday, she knew when something wasn't right.  

What's my point? My point is Grizz loves you Hitech and I don't like it when you fight. It scares me that you guys might get a divorce.  

[Tupac]

They're most definately not. I hit him with even more on that same pass, nothing.

Karnak, was just exaggerating a bit to make a point.

Either the tater is nerfed, or the Mossie is made of titanium, which is a viable option. Raked one a couple passes with 6 .50's with no result.

Mossie is made of wood, those are HE rounds. Could be very possible that the skin is too soft to make the rounds explode. Mossie were renowned at being able to take BIG hits and coming home IRL
