Whats up with all the PW???
« on: July 10, 2011, 12:50:37 PM »
Maybe im the only one that has noticed this, but I swear since last patch I have been PW more than I have for the previous 3 years. I mean ok, some AC are generally just gonna give you a 90% likelyhood of bein PW because of a number of reasons....little armor, HOing all the time, etc, but I swear I can be 1000 in front of a Spit thats firing 303s at my Jug and the 1st ping PW me everytime. That is just  one example. Has anyone else been gettin PW more frequently lately?

How many times should a pilot be shot before he's wounded in your opinion?

At the very least 44 times.  Our pile-its are nerfed.

I don't understand how you get just wounded when hit by a 20mm anyway. Wouldn't it just rip an arm or leg off?

They are explosive.  You can be wounded by them without actually having the whole 20mm round hit you.  If a 20mm hit doesn't include the free bonus gift of an instant trip back to the tower, but it still wounded you it just means you caught some shrapnel.

I figured that this post would get the usual idiotic responses such as "how many times should a pilot be hit before hes PW." All I meant is that II used to be able to fly a whole night without bein PW once and now it seems as if every fight I am in it happens. So, im guessing that no matter where in the 'cockpit area" the round hits it instantly PWs the pilot? And i love the smartazz's that make a dumb comment about cannonb rounds because in reality, a cannon round hitting anywhere near the cockpit would more than likely kill the Pilot, yet I have watched multiple cannon strkes hit the cockpit only for that plane to keep flyin as if nothing is wrong. This post was just ASKING if it has been more abundant as of late....not to complain about being PW. SO keep dumb comments to yourself please. Thank You!

I don't get many PWs, and certainly no more than usual recently...mostly I lose my tail or wings through an SA fail :)

Their are no dweeb planes just dweeb pilots that blame certain planes for their poor flying ability's.And you will get more PW's in some planes like the B ..i mean p 38,Due to its open front end.

I don't think it's really changed since last patch, what it feels more like to me is the angles people shoot from seems to cause more pw's.  The guys that tend to shoot from wherever they are seem to cause more pw's.

If you think you are having a 1v1 in the Main Arena, your SA has failed you.
