No conspiracy theory here, but is it possible that something changed with the new version of AH? I get a lot more assists on aircraft that show no visible dammage, and forget hitting the fuselage of a bomber instead of the engines or wings, even with 7-8 shells. The Mk 108 seemed a little weak before, but now it is worse. :noid
Sometimes it works in my favor. A very good K-4 pilot caused me to overshoot the other day, and popped me with the 30mm, but only my engine died. No fire, no other dammage. I was able to glide away for a ditch and rob him of his kill. :rolleyes:
Programmers who play this game have said that it is very easy to change something by accident... I would appreciate it if this were looked into.

My 108 kills as good as before. No change.

I don't see anything wrong with that. One hit completely wrecked you engine. That#s quite a bit of damage and, after all, a one hit kill.
-
The only thing I hate is when I clearly hit a wing or rear fuselage and the engine starts to smoke...
-
it's nerfed but it has been for some time now. I just get in close and pop the other guy's henpit. that usually solves the problem.

forgive me for IR noob, but what in Sam Hill is a MK108?
-
it's the 109's tater gun

More specifically, it's the 30mm cannon found on the 109K-4 (G-14 optional), 110G-2, Ta-152, Me 262 and 163. Its muzzle velocity is rather slow, but it has a high rate of fire for its size.

damn! :O

Bring on the Mk 103!
-
:O SWEEEEET
-
I've noticed this, I've needed to double-peg fighters lately to make sure they go down.
Maybe it's just me but it seems like the time between a hit registering on my FE and the corresponding catastrophic damage occurring has increased.
-
This was happening (and there are posts regarding it) before this most recent update.
-
That explains why I didn't know what a MK108 is...I'm a american iron guy. :aok

i popped a D3A with the MK108 and it did nothing from less than 100 out.

The round went through the paper plane without exploding.

sorry for not being more correct,
i hit the D3A in the main body and the wings with maybe 7 shots at the most.

I fly the K-4 a lot. I have not notice any difference in cannon lethality. You still have to hit the target, which is not always easy with the 30mm.
I know the rate of fire is high for a 30mm cannon (The Germans traded rate of fire for muzzle velocity), but I believe it is still lower than a Hispano and a lot lower than 50cal. It is possible for a maneuvering target to fly through the bullet stream without receiving a cannon hit. Snap-shots are not easy in a K-4. The rate of fire means you may not score a hit where you may have scored a couple of hits with 2 or 4 hispanos.
On a different note, the video of the 30mm hit on the Spitfire was cool. Yep, it works like that in the game. One hit, Spit looses wing.

You have any film of that?

I agree with scotch, I fly the k4 alot aswell, and i have some multiple 30mm hit sprites in snapshots that simply did nothing.
-
It didn't change. In fact, it's the same lethality as it's been since version 1.04- as far back as I can easily look in our source history.
-
Pyro, so it's just a packet loss problem? Is it normal that fighters (e.g. Spitfires) take a round of 30mm and only leak engine oil? For as long as I can remember, a hit in the engine would always stop it cold. Is it the damage model that's changed?
-
Show me a film and I'll tell you.
-
I'd have to look through a lot of films that I've compressed to save space.. I hope the offer stands if I send you those films in a week or two (at most).
Thanks.

Agreed.... It seems like the whole game has frame rate issues with the new version...
-

i will check, but i highly doubt it since i check and remove films daily.
