Maybe another flakker
« on: July 30, 2018, 06:27:48 AM »
          If My math is correct an airplane moving 300mph travels about 15 feet for every round a wirb fires.  And who doesn't like the Wirb?.  But use the Osty and a plane travels about 172 feet between rounds. deflection shooting is pretty difficult for most .   The M16 works well if deployed in packs.        Maybe something else from  early midwar, like a sdkfz10/5.  That is a small German halftrack with a single 20mm Mauser Flak 38 mounted on it.  Firing rate about 480 rpm.  That would put the 300 mph plane traveling about 55 to 60 feet between rounds.  With a 40 to 50 foot long plane 90 degree deflection shooting may be doable for more players and damage to the plane not to severe.  It may help others get into the ground to air play. and that improves marksmanship in the air.   Have a blast.

And who doesn't like the Wirb?

The Wirbelwind is for skilless turds who get their jollies griefing pilots with their invisible laser porcupines.

+1 for any new ah3 toy

The german halftrack had many configs and we already have it. I'd imagine it would be easier to add more configs to it than to create a different vehicle.

YES!  :D

lyric,

Remember that Hungarian 40mm Nimrod info you sent me about the gunsight used in it? I finally figured out how it works and adapted it for the osti and wirble. You need to know what those "slew" lines represent. Once I discovered that, it's pretty simple and works really good. Problem with the Germans is their AA tactic required a person to use an additional optics to judge range while manually inputting that to the gunner's gunsight. The Nimrod gunsight works for a solo gunner. Consider those bigger rings a training wheel to remove some guesswork. The empty space in the center substitutes for the Nimrod reticle center ring.

Do the horizontal lines each represent hold over for 1k of distance?

I don't vulch but once in a blue moon, but sure have been vulched plenty near my own fields by the offensive contraptions in question. 

The Ostwind and field gun are perfect to repel vulchers and even take a bit of skill, as opposed to filling the sky with a lead rope.
