New halftrack (3 part wish)

  SAVED! 


As for Krusty's request:

1) +1
2) +/-0
3) +1

While I agree with perking the WW, the OST not so much.  Lowering it's ENY and not perking it, then I would be +1 for the 2nd wish.  The OST "sprays" the sky with the 37mm.  If it was manned ack laser accurate, THEN I would agree on it being perked as well.

The term "single-ping" is so overused and rarely ever describes what really happened ... I am surprised you used the term.

If 1 single 20mm/37mm hits you in the head, you will never hear the other 20mm/37mm rounds hit your plane.

+1 to your wishes with the exception of perking ... -100 on that

That only means that 90% of people attacking, with wirbles in the area, did not respect the wirble or just have no clue on how to attack and when to avoid.

The wirble is a force to be reckoned with which only means that one has to be more careful and pay attention when they are around.

It's about time that more logical head showed up.

Are you presuming to be the other one?

On the perking issue, I know so Vink.

LOL, sure. It's logical to ignore the impact of a vehicle that is only detectable once you're inside lethal range.

Slapshot: That's totally illogical. If the first hit kills your pilot any following hits mean jack squat. It was a single ping kill. I'm talking about flying along a couple thousand feet above the ground and suddenly having a stationary prop and oil, or an instant pilot wound, or half my plane suddenly disappeared and I'm falling to the ground. I'm not talking pilot-kills, which also happen.

That said, Vinkman has a good point. If you limit the rate of fire with realistic reloads, would it even need a perk? I don't know. That might bring it down a notch to the "not perkworthy" level.

Very good observation there, Vink.

I knew If I kept plugging away, I'd eventually say something useful Krusty.

Oh so were supposed to interpret you saying  ... "if you have ever flown within 2k of a wirble and been single-ping-killed you'd know" ... to "I'm not talking pilot-kills" ... ok ... got it ...

[Krusty]

You're the one that tried to change it around by saying "Well, if you are talking about PWs...." I replied "I'm NOT talking about PWs..." so basically your post was illogical and non sequitir.

Now back to your regularly scheduled wishlist thread.

I was talking about PWs ?

[MK-84]

Waystin, if you have ever flown within 2k of a wirble and been single-ping-killed you'd know. If you've ever tried to strafe one and survive, you'd know. If you've ever tried to even bomb or rocket one and survive you'd know. More often than not you die and he lives. Looking back (I chose the tour before the arena split as an example) the Osty used to get 40,000 kills a month, the M16 used to get 7,000...

I have quite a few wirble kills in an A20 this tour mostly by strafing.  More than deaths from wirbls I believe.

I plan and time my attack approach.  It's kinda like attacking a bomber.

Bah, got me there. It was slapshot that brought up PWs. Sorry. It still applies.
