Ok.

I started an thread sometime ago about d4+ kills but i did not get an real answer in that one

All i want to know is will it be harder or easier or perhaps the same level of "difficulty" to get kills in AH as in WB?

This cant be classified info can it?

Lots of easier, because you have some time to train before AH is ready..

Ok, that must be something that just remains to be seen.. Just like WB's, AH will be constantly trimmed to get into the correct feel.

Both of these sims are in correct trim, when the kills come as easy as in real life!

nr-1, you have fallen into the common trap of disregarding net lage when you evaluate your deaths. Often when you hear two pings, the enemy has landed 10 or more pings on you, perhaps with a heavy cannon.

nr-1 i have no idea of how to answere your question. How hard it is to get kills just depend's on everything.

How many people are in the arena.
How far are the air fields apart.
What the ratio of enamys in the arena.
What plane type you like to fly.
Do you care if you die after the kill.

If your asking what lethalitys and how hard it is to hit the other plane, its not a secret. We have no idea where we will be balancing these things.

One thing that will make a differance thow is the 3 sided set up. That make your normal ratio 1 - 2 instead of 1 - 3.

Thx for the reply Hitech, yes it was an question about hitting and lethality. . .

IK, Has netlag increased latly then? before 2.7 you could hear all the pings you recived.

Sorry for this turnin in to an WB issue after all.

Ive acctualy addressed that issue in AH ik. You should hear every hit in full 3d sound. Im even leaving in how you will hear them after you die just so you know how hard you got nailed.

But hitech I thought they say that you never hear the one that gets you.

More anecdotal evidence not backed up by hard data I suspect

sorry for sounding all high and mighty nr-1

I think the problem has existed since 2.5 when the number of rounds modeled increased by a huge number. Before that all aircraft were limited to 16 shots per second. Since 2.5 planes like the Spitfire Mk I fire 60 shots per second (if i remember correctly).
