Short burst bug is back.
« on: February 16, 2014, 12:55:22 AM »
It's been happening to me since the update, and i finally caught it on film. 30mm hit around the 45 second mark with no damage. The only time i notice this is when i fire less than 5 rounds.

Huh, maybe that's what I witnessed yesterday in a sortie.  I was flying the G14 with the 30MM gun package.  I fired one, maybe two tators from D300 and closing.  I clearly saw one shell impact the Pony near the right wing root.  I was close enough that I saw the bright orange fireball at impact.  The Pony flew on with no apparent damage.  It was just odd.

This has been happening to me a lot lately. I've pretty much quit flying the TA152 and 109K4 because of it.

I def started shoppin for a new ride once my 30mm in the TA152 was essentially not doing dmg when it made contact, that was a big reason I got out of it.

3 rounds on KI 84 engine cover and front of cockpit. No effect... flies away and lands....  :headscratch:  :furious

I fly without tracers so it could not be muzzle effect. On the other hand I land a 600 yds hit on a 109G2 and it goes BOOM after nearly 2 seconds........  :banana:  :noid

It's a bit like a lottery these days .... :bhead

Sun,

did you send this film to Skuzzy directly per mail? He won't look at it from Mediafire....

Just a thought!

We have to have the original film.  Converted films lose all the data we need to tell what happened.

Does that "conversion issue" also apply to portions of films cut from a much longer track?

It can.  It depends on what the issue we are looking for.

  OOPSIE,  a few days ago I accused a player of cheating, after hitting his B25's right wing and tail SEVERAL (atleast 3 on each) times with my 30mm and he just kept right on flying with no apparent damage. never considered it to be a bug. because At least 4 other pilots also made passes on him and all claimed to have scored numerous hits that seemed to bounce right off.  I don't know what they were flying, but what are the chances they all were also firing short bursts of 30mm ?      :headscratch:

Just finished some offline destruction testing with the 30mm and 37mm.

K4, Ta152, Yak 9T, Il2, Mossi, 262, 410, and 110 G2.

The bombers are tougher now. The B25 can sustain up to 5 hits before showing serious damage. The B17 and Lanc if I didn't aim for the pilots compartment, took up to 17 individual 30\37mm to completely dismantle them before achieving an explosion. The tail structures of the bombers I tested absorbed lots of damage. Cutting off wings at the root took up to 4. One to two would take off the wing tips. Fires took between 1 to 3 hits. That was kind of random across all of the bombers I tested shooting single shots from single gun installations.

One shot kills as always depended on a shallow bank landing the round into the side or top of the pilots compartment.

Depending on the fighter and where the round landed, it could take up to 3 hits to kill the fighter.

The best short burst kills on everything were from the IL2, Mossi, 410 30mm\20mm load out, 262, and the 110 G with 2 30mm and 4 20mm. The 2 30mm in the 110 for some reason shooting alone are easier to aim and hit with on fighters to 400 than other Mk108 packages.
