Actaully you only hit with the 13mm's mgs not the 30mm tater.You hit 4 times ,1 in the right wing root,2 in the mid quarter below the pilot and down the right side,1 in the righ elv.None of these were 30 mm hits as evidenced by the small hit sprite instead o the large hit sprite associated with 30mm hits.Nice move on the overshoot,but you just missed on the tatergun.If you play the film at speed.01 you'll see he actually flew through them 30mm rounds.Balistics and rate of fire on the 30mm are so slow and so much drop that it's very possible to do this,how be it does require a good deal of luck.

Yup you hit him 4x with 13mm guns.

Note that 30mm uses the same 2d hit sprite outside a certain range (i.e. when you use it on bombers you'll see this more often) - it's a LOD thing.

Looks like your first cannon round(s) passed low under the nose, and the second/third passed under the tail (too low). That's just a guess.

thnx for imput I was looking at the puff clouds saw 2 of them.  One of those where you see sprites and just think at least some damage, but ASBATT said 0% damage reported when he checked.   Is there a way where u can just fire the tater tosser?

Ah yes, I'm so used to a/c passing thru my 30mm bursts ... :huh :rolleyes:

That was a high speed, slashing, snapshot. Almost no chance of a 30mm hit, in my experience.

There are 3 fire modes. "Fire Primary," "Fire Secondary," and "Fire both."

F = Fire primary
B = Fire secondary
N = Fire both

^-- I think those are the default keys. I have my joystick mapped to have 2 buttons. I press both (trigger + thumb) when I want to fire both. It only took a little getting used to. I only have a small number of buttons on my stick but I devoted one to this.

Just go into stick mapping and it's all in there.

It is usually mapped to your secondary fire button.  I imagine (since you are asking) that you have all your weapons mapped to your trigger.  If you do any bombing, the button you use to drop the bombs should be your "cannon only" choice too.

You can map individual sets of weapons to individual buttons.  My joystick defaults to mgs only on trigger, thumb button 2 for secondary fire only, thumb button three for all weapons fire.  (Not exactly sure why I leave it mapped like this -- just we-todd-did I suppose).

EDIT:  Should have figured Krusty would beat me to it.

Definitely!  I concurr! I thought I had the dmn thing mapped to just toss taters with the button I was pressing in the film.  It wasn't until I saw the film that I noticed the MG's were firing as well.  I pwn thee anyway.....right?:aok

Thats one reason why i dont fly LW with taters. Snapshots are just so low % shot that a great move can get ya killed.

What might help with some of these complaints is like I do with the Yak-9T.
   When I engage a con I just pop a few rounds with the 37mm only and don't use the MG. That way if you hit you will know it was the taters, on top of them loseing lots of big parts.   Then I have my MG for defence on the way back to land kills. :)

  Just an idea.

I know how dedaloops stays alive so long in a furball.... he poats a self portrait on back of his plane.  Word from the front is that the pic has a terrifying effect on the enemy planes and that many have never been able to fly again for the constant nightmares and reliving of the horrible occurance.   Post traumatic ugly disorder is what docs keep diagnosing.:aok

Comon now.  That is not fair.  Creton is as good as you. (does not say match about him, but . . . )

When I was young, I use to pwn. But then they changed what pwn was. And what it was, now isn't. And what it is, is now weird and scary.

Oh and you forgot a few in there bovihornphisholidudvent. Did I miss any?

it's called "fire secondary" you newbcake...

I never shoot bb's with taters... their trajectory couldn't be more different, and a couple bb's aren't going to make much difference when a 30 rips the wing off anyway. My K4 stickset has fire secondary on my trigger, primary (bb's) on my middle thumb button.

Yeah I has thought I had it mapped to my #3 but found out it was mapped to #4.  My #3 was firing both and #1 was only mg's.  I Fixed it and mapped em where I like em.  So Wetrat now we go DA and I completely overwhelm you with my mad l33t underdog skills.:aok

alcohol is not a viable excuse... I fly just fine when I'm drunk, I just can't hit anything. So I probably actually fly better when I'm drunk, since I have to do more flying due to not hitting anyone. And I don't need any "uber l33t acm's" (are there even any?)... I just need you to make a mistake, and you make many ;)
