87G

Watching my XO banging his head against a brick wall 

I struggled with the 87G to get kills, but tracks turrets and engines are no problem.

"FILM". And how do you know you have tracked a tank after shooting it with cannon?

Ive posted film of numerous track hits with the 87G and havnt tracked one. While in a tank Ive been tracked by aircraft cannon maybe once or twice and you make it sound like its easy. BTW it was pretty easy in real life. The track hits are another poorly modeled part of the game. Course I go for kills not tracks unless I have rockets.

From side shots you can easly track them but kill.. I don't think so. It would take several passes and wouldn't be worth all the ammo, I think trying a higher angle would be better...

 Tiger 2's are made of adamantium

In the 3 & 1/2 months you have been in the game you have exactly one kill with an IL2, which was a Panzer-4. You have no kill of Tigers with anything, have killed one T34/85, 2 t34/76s, 5 P-4s, and 7 M4A3s. Thats a total of 16 tanks kills in your entire time in Aces High. Ive killed more tanks then that in a single night. So maybe you should wait a bit until you pose as an expert.

since i did my service in a tank , i say i take from 5  -15 mins to replace broken part(s). On a battlefield,that is a long time,but a 5 person tank crew, its definively doablefor radio-operator / driver to fix , while rest of the crew continue to shoot, and defend the tank unless drive sprocket is damaged.

Been there, done that many many times.

 Have you tried searching "AntiTank"?
 
 I have flown for a long time under this name, I'm glod more people have grown interest in the tank busting gameplay style... I never said I'm an expert and NOBODY is interested in impressing you. I honestly wanted to answer what seemed as a legit question... you should know perfectly well all the stuff you asked before even asking them... you're a vet...

 Anyway, I flew under the name Raphael when I joined JG5 and took a break on tank busting, then I stopped playing for some time and just got back to the action 

 The films I post on youtube are not intended to be killstreak look at me's, they are edited to enternainment purposes and I will not polute it with kill videos... which is why I posted the .ahf as soon as you asked, but since I noticed that you were just trolling me I don't even know if it is worth wasting my time... chill out dude... drink a cold juice and dance some samba!

here's an nice old Screenshot I posted long time ago on "films ans screenshots" session

This is Raphael -> 
This is Rich ->       
This is me ->         


Raphael is a very capable Tank Buster Rich. The guy flew around as 'AntiTank' for a reason.

He has spoken about tracking a Tiger. Tracking a Tank won't show up as a kill to be on any statistics anyway. If another tank kills the Tiger for instance, Raphael would only get an assist.

He very clearly has not posed as an expert but answered a question very decently, I don't understand your animosity towards him. I'm sure once you have stopped being hard headed you would benefit from his experience. I'm sure he would even wing up with you, that's what a nice chap he is.

All I see a Russian airplane flying past a Tiger. What kind of airplane is it? "Assuming it is the one that tracked the Tiger".

Dolby this is why I hate getting into these discussions. Theres always a pal of the other party breaking in, acting like his Lawyer, and somehow assuming that Im angry for some odd reason.

Large caliber HE rounds will easily track any tank in the game. Im not talking about HE rounds. Ive killed many hundreds of tanks with IL2s and have never tracked one with AP rounds. Nor have I done so with the 87G.

Raphael in the future reply for yourself and stop assuming Im angry just for asking a question. Or for posting stats. There  everyone feeling better? Sheesh!

Ive hit numerous tanks in the game in the tracks with BK 3,7s and not tracked one. So what would you believe were you me? Its easy to prove you tracked one. Just hit record, record the hits, and then record the tank right after. A tracked tank is easy to see cause it leans.

It quite obvious Raphael and myself need to wing with you in Tank Town. There must be something fundamentally wrong with your set up for shots and/or convergence.

Listen, you lose viewers in the first few minutes of video. 4 mins of taxi/ take off footage, followed by 10 seconds of black screen, will leave you with very few viewers left to watch flight. Pity cause you had some lovely action shots and the music was good. "The Hornet" would have been a much better film at 5 or 6 mins then at 9+.

More tips will follow as I puruse your web page. I hate seeing video talent wasted cause the "story" isnt told well.

If your trying to punish me in someway for critising you inability to shoot at ground crawlers by foolishly critiqing my film, your only coming off as a little immature.

I get a graph from youtube, and my viewing figures hold up well across the whole film, well except at the credits; I lose 95% viewership.

I guess now me and Raphael are both 

Have a good day Rich I hope there is someone out there willing to help you out, you've burned your bridges with me.

"FILM".

I don't auto-film, and merely tracking a tank didn't seem worthy of film.

And how do you know you have tracked a tank after shooting it with cannon?

Because it will slew sideways and stop moving

Ive posted film of numerous track hits with the 87G and havnt tracked one. While in a tank Ive been tracked by aircraft cannon maybe once or twice and you make it sound like its easy. BTW it was pretty easy in real life. The track hits are another poorly modeled part of the game. Course I go for kills not tracks unless I have rockets.

very possible its a result of the damage model. To be frank, the .50 cal or 20mm weapons would probably be better more effective at tracking vehicles because of the sheer damage output.

In the 3 & 1/2 months you have been in the game you have exactly one kill with an IL2, which was a Panzer-4. You have no kill of Tigers with anything, have killed one T34/85, 2 t34/76s, 5 P-4s, and 7 M4A3s. Thats a total of 16 tanks kills in your entire time in Aces High. Ive killed more tanks then that in a single night. So maybe you should wait a bit until you pose as an expert.

Raphael has been around longer than 3 1/2 months, dude. Game ID's change.

All I see a Russian airplane flying past a Tiger. What kind of airplane is it? "Assuming it is the one that tracked the Tiger".

Actually, its a Hurricane IID, which is British.

Ive hit numerous tanks in the game in the tracks with BK 3,7s and not tracked one. So what would you believe were you me? Its easy to prove you tracked one. Just hit record, record the hits, and then record the tank right after. A tracked tank is easy to see cause it leans.

How many rounds are you putting into the tracks? It can take a supprising ammount to destroy tracks here in Aces High.
