.50 cal question

[oakranger]

HT, It used to be that I could attacked any GV and de-tracked it, damaged the engine or take out the top turrent Mg gun. Not the case anymore.  What did you do to my jug's .50 cals?

This is a very good question.  I've seen what a real ~single~ .50 automatic weapon can do... nuff said.

[guncrasher]

the never ending question of has the .50 cal been nerfed.  I dont have problems getting kills.  I only fly the p51d.  so whatever.

IRL .50 cal could do little to kill a tank in second half of ww2,you could damage individual parts, or individual tank crew members but to destroy it, you had to be very lucky.

Even the IL2 had a hard time doing it with its more powerful guns IRL , unless it attacked from ridiculous angle at later tank models.

Never said anything about not getting kills but what we can no longer do to GVs.

I get tracked all the time by 50 cal and m18,m8,m16,m3 etc all will die by 50cal if you make enough passes engine or turret will go on a panzer you could take out a hetzers engine easily with a jugs 50s

I question your story on that.

Are you sure it wasn't 20mm or bigger rounds or another tank.   I used to attack GVs all the time in the p47 will the result of detracted them.  Some time ago, few years back, something change that I can no longer do that.

Could you possibly check if the program got change that you might have missed it?

ok let me explain a different way.  the real reason why gv's dont get tracked is because you dont see them from 6k like before.  so you have less time to line up.  I used to kill werbies in il2's at will, but when they stopped the f3 view on it plus decreased the distance to see gv's to basically zero (sarcasm).  I stopped getting kills in il2 or actually harder to get kills.  did they nerfed the il2?  not really.

I have no problem seeing the GVs 15 to 20k.  I have no problem line up on for attack to put in enough rounds to do the job.

Do you have film on this?  If not film your GV runs and the result of .50 cals doing that.

Party pooper.
