Is 2.24 causing my problem?
« on: May 24, 2011, 08:47:15 AM »
My score and hit percentage have dropped 50% since 2.24 came out.  My game machine is dedicated to AH, windows update is disabled.  The only change is 2.24.  I noticed the change immediately after updating back around the end of April. WTF?

Are you speaking about fighters?
There was no change in AH that should have any influence on your ability to hit stuff. Reduced hit% can result from many things, from having just a bad streak, to different targets (for example less buffs than usual), accidental change on joystick settings (deadband, scaling, dampening -has once happened to me after we got a new version).

Sounds more like a slump than anything game update related. Everyone has those times when you can't hit anything. Just have fun and don't let it bother you. You'll see an improvement when it passes.

Most likely your on a bad streak, Half time I can put 20 rounds from 50s and blow a wing off, other times I need 200 rounds for a single plane.
Last night had 14 kills in a P51 using half my ammo, 4 flights after I couldn't down a single plane, let alone score hits.

Are you shooting things on the ground when in Fighter mode?

I've recently noticed that will drop my hit % between three and five percent.

Thanks for the replies,  probably just a slump.  I don't shoot at the ground, just planes.

The recent flooding and storms have seriously degraded my internet connection, have you checked you're net status?
