I was on Fw190A-8. 10K more or less...runnin at 400 mph from a bunch of bishcuits over F1. One F4U1-C was 1.8K away...I levelled, heard ONE ping...and kabooom
1) guy was very kind and answered my questions. He was 1.2K away in his FE. He saw 2 (TWO) pings.
2) Fw190 was a HEAVILY ARMORED plane with HEAVY armor for both plane and the pilot.
3) Shot was from 1.2K AWAY in his FE. 1.8K on mine...and again I wasnt level...I was a little nose down in a very very shallow turn left (to reach W heading, right back to F2, home).
HTC...This MUST be fixed. I accept some pings from 50 cals at those ranges. I accept some damages,too. But a fw190 was MORE than capable of sustaining that damage, and a Hispano cannon was IMPOSSIBLE to aim at those ranges, due for bullet fall.
I had NO previus damage. I was far. I regard this as the MOST bizarre death in AH since I came here. I have no film,sorry I was TOO BUSY trying to get away from more than 7 cons.
I dont whine about F4U1-C. I whine about the gunnery model that allows this kind of deaths. PLEASE MAKE THIS SHOTS IMPOSSIBLE.
Of course I'll stay here if it left as it is or not. But for sure I am VERY UNHAPPY with it.
And dont start saying that hispanos ...blah blah blah...
Nice shot, Fariz, im not whining about ur gunnery ,but about the model that allows these kills so common...<S> to ur shooting
