Still grossly undermodeled.. Saddled up behind a tempest 300 out ... Hold the trigger down little to no damage.
One ping from a cannon. And I am in the tower! It could use some tweaking in my opinion.. = my wish.
Sure the tempest isn't simply a tough bird. I saddled up behind a typhoon at 300 last night. I unloaded 50 20mm and whatever 50cal goes along into him before he went down, probably with a dead pilot. Pieces fell off, engine smoked, and fuel leaked. But, that was a very tough bird. 20mm hisso AP had very good penetration power and our rounds are some kind of a hybrid of AP\HE for the hit counter.
Cobia you know derned well the A20 six AN\M2 have a cone of concentrated pattern. P47 has convergence issues. You are more likely to get many more 50cal onto a single area of your con than the P47 pilot will if he is not holding at convergence.
Yesterday I was testing gunsights offline. The C.205 took 3 MK108 to the rudder and elevator assembly's without loosing anything or the rear end falling off. Fourth round accomplished that. Then some planes went poop with a single 30mm or showed damage the plane couldn't fly home with.
After all of these years. I just keep shooting the guy until he goes boom or I don't want to waste anymore ammo. I'm assuming offline in the arena settings for environment. I'm using MA default lethality and hardness when I'm shooting the drones since I never touch those settings. I'm assuming that is what HTC is setting each MA map to. So if the C.205 offline takes 3 30mm to the tail assemblies and nothing seems to happen until the 4th 30mm causes a wing to fall off. That is what will happen in the MA with the C.205. I've noticed with the P51D, sometimes offline the 30mm does very little in it's tail assembly, then a single round there blows half the elevator or rudder off. Similar things with all of the other rounds from 303 - 20mm. Kind of random effects for how much control offline we have in our saddling up to the drones.
Unless when you choose offline your arena settings are different from the MA settings. Then I would like to know how to set my offline lethality and hardness to MA standard.
This is why I keep asking for a switch so we can choose to have the drones fall out of the air, or be degraded out of the air the same way damage would make us in the MA. Pilot wounds eventually make your drone die. Running out of fluids kills the engine. A wing falling off or part of a wing degrading the flight profile realistically. You can cut everything off some airplanes and still have 3\4 of a fuselage flying around the drone circuit. Otherwise you have to keep shooting until the damage model says the pilot is now dead.
