Time to give up on the norden.

easycor..u are totally wrong.....loollo

you must be misunderstanding...
WHEN YOU ARE CALIBRATING.....YOUR CROSS HAIRS SHOULD NOT MOVE MORE THEN A FEW MILLIMETERS...OR YOU CALIBRATION WILL NOT BE CORRECT...


WHEN HOLDING DOWNTHE CALIBRATION BUTTON..DO NOT MOVE CROSSHAIRS FROM YOUR "MARK POINT"


im saying be sure you let go of your "mark point " button  mines "y"  before you let go of your joystik...


pretty simple


easycor....i have always held it still..and bom very well..im thinkn ill stay that way....

 why would everyone calibrate for longer  then a half a second?  you could just clikand un clik in a split second same spot.... and it be perfect? hmmm

You've said it again, and more clearly,
Quote

Ok BG, go into calibration mode, set your target alt and as you approach the target, find a gun emplacement and while your cross hairs are over it, press and hold the "u" key. Don't release the "u" key but move the crosshairs out of the way untill you've waited your favorite number of seconds. Put the crosshairs back on the gun emplacement again and release your "u" key.  Exit calibration mode you're done.  Now go try it, if you did everything else right you won't miss, I promise.
Easy in-game again.

I'd hoped it would take longer to get out, because it makes calibrating the bombsight a lot easier, but Easycor's right, BGBMAW; the sight calibration doesn't care where the crosshairs are except for when the calibration key is pressed or released; while it's held down, your FE ignores the crosshair. How close your starting and ending points are determine how accurate your calibration is, not how well you kept the crosshairs on that point during the calibration period.

I can't comment on general gameplay, or the effects of the bombing changes on general gameplay.

But I can say that I love the changes that were made last year. I know I don't fly enough to make a big difference one way or the other, but my Buff flying went up by about 1 billion % :eek:  with the new system.  

What I'm really wondering, is this: where does my buff style fit into everyones notions of good and evil with regard to general gameplay? Here's what I usually do:
Grab a B-26 formation with as many big bombs as possible. Take off and head towards the target, climbing to abaout 5-6k above the target alt. Drop bombs on whatever target of opportunity arises at the field (I love flying bombers, but never really got the hang of strat lol). Usually the VH or the town.  Then, if I'm still alive, I'll circle down to the deck and try and strafe the town with all those nose guns. If the town is already down, I usually will hit the deck and try to run for home.

So, am I part of the problem, or part of the solution? I just don't know how to feel about myself and need validation in order to sleep at night.

why i fly bomers...

1) i love killn cvs withthem...7-10k alt
2) going ahaed of squad ataks to kill ,...barrkas-fuel-ammo.or vh's..you can salvo 1 ata timefor the fuel-ammo-barrkas

3) killing start targtes.cities-refineries-aaa-radar factories-(this slows downthere repair times on bases

4) HQ raids...ahh love kill radar..but if you dont kill there barraks surrounding the HQ its almost useless...cause they can just goon it..
5) on HQraids ..me163 s come to meet you..and there fun to pop:)

Keep formations as is , bring back laser
sight and let the bombers rolling.
More people will fly bombers with laser sights,more the fighters who will hunting them,more fights at high alts, more war.

Something more.....
Mobile Artillery also katiusha rockets and
88's at fields but also mobile 88s with tracks.
This will bring normandy style carpet bombing and jabo attacks but also more
furballs low & high alt to protect them.
This type of war is more tactical and less
strategic but its a war for all at all levels.
Terrible fights for just one field.
Rush and counter attacks at his best.

And something more :) for Pyro and HT...
AH must continue to be the best flight sim
(even if not perfect) , But Must Become
also the Best in ground war.
I explain.....
Online flight sim community is a close
community from hardcore plane lovers and the others who come and go.
( Hardcore are not many :)  )
Many reasons, but the more common i
think is they found difficulties and they
just brake.
I have bring many friends to see and play   AH, you know what their reaction is ?
When they see furballs they love it, but
when they come to fly ,after 1-2 crashes
or kills (eating ground ) they take a panzer or ostie or m16 and they go for their battle. But many days they cant find this battle. And ofcourse they dont subscribe.
The ground war will bring Many-Many
more subscribers plus the flight hardcores.
And we must not forget that the meaning of air war (at least at WWII )
is just the support of the land war who
will conquer land.

( i read for airplanes from my 12, now im 43, if i had not make a bad young mistake now i would be a f-16 or mirage 2000 pilot, i was playing AW from 93 when came in a greek bbs with
amiga-500 (amiga dweeb :)  ) with mouse.
I have a high knowlege backround about air combat iam  1,5 year in AH and still i dont call my self even average pilot :)
But i can sure call my self Hardcore.
Open the gates to the more usual players with the ground war and sure
the air combat will go more high.
And the customers ofcourse ;)

I'm sitting in the bomb sight and my buddy... Ned is manning the guns.

I'm calibrating... holding down the cross hairs on a spot on the ground.... counting to 10...

one... two... three....... four...

eight...

[rrrrrrriipppp]

nine

"Phew gawd man! what's that smell"

ten

[Open bombbay doors to ventilate but the smell gets stronger...]

[can't see through the tears in my eyes from the stink...can't breath... choking... jump through bomb hatch... and pull chut].


Needlesstosay because of my gunner's farts I wasn't able to calibrate properly. Totally missed the target...


HT PLEASE FIX THIS!!!
