Now this is interesting stuff.
I see Tac mentioning gun shots effecting flight performance.
Now, the "IL-2" praiser I am(
), in IL-2, the gun shots effect performance significantly. On the runway, with no brakes, shoot MGs and the plane begins to roll back a little. Shoot 20mms, the plane rolls back further and faster. Shoot all three guns(109s) the plane moves backwards steady. In Fw-190A5s, shoot all 6 guns on the runway and the plane might even roll back and stumble your direction if the tail wheel is not locked.
This effects the combat performance, whereas the most effective combat maneuver for 109s in "IL-2" is the spiraling vertical climb, when a plane trying hang with you just shoots out mindlessly like in AH, that causes the roped plane to immediately stall bad. Especially if both the roper and the ropee is nearing stall speeds in a tight vertical chase. I don't see this happening in AH. Is the physicalreactionary force of guns modelled in AH?
If not, wouldn't this be a feature good to add?
A plane that's near 100mph in a vertical climb unloading all four 20mm guns in a bratatata spray... for a considerable amount of time(namely, all the way up the zoom) ... I don't think that's supposed to happen.
Can anyone clarify me on this?
