That looks a lot like a72 which was captured deep into rook territory last night which caused 15 vulchers to do nothing but fly up the runway, turn around, down the runway.....up the runway....down the runway.

Of course, I was able to spawn, instantly bail, and run to the edge of town on foot and garner 4 proxy kills as they tried to strafe me dead.

Spit14 picture is a few weeks old and the seafire picture is a few days. I think your mistaken.

I'm just waiting for all the pictures of the spits twirling toward the ground missing a wing   :devil

Ofcourse there will be those pictures, I can post them myself if you want, but I can also post pictures of P47s and 190s with no wing. I'm not saying it's impossible to take the wing off, as a matter effect it's not hard, it's just not as easy as most people think (2 shots wont do it).

Probably because those are BBs.

I can't prove what was shooting at me (I do not have a video), if you choose not to believe me that's fine. If you decide to believe me I wrote down the list of aircraft that were shooting at me in the OP and you know what kind of guns they have.

Is this thread suggesting that graphical presentation of damage has something to do with the amount of damage registered to model?

It will on a 152. Had a set of b26 take my wing clean off with 1 burst from waist guns at 1k!
 :huh  (I was below top turret range, way front of the tailguns, about 2:00 position)
The Kanonenvogel had 6 rounds per pod, this is not even close to being open for debate.

Not necessarily, some people will say that a quick burst from a P47 or a niki will also take the wing off but my experience shows it wont. All depends on where exactly you get hit and how many Gs your pulling at the time.

cheater  :lol
seriously, you know something. Spits tend to lose their wing after 3 PIU PIUs to the same spot especially when they are pulling high G-s.
only a moron would use Dolby positioning in a game.
