Title: What's wrong with this picture?
Post by: CavemanJ on February 20, 2001, 02:58:00 PM: Opponents:
F4U-1D vs M3
6x.50 vs 1x.50

4 passes made on this M3, seeing several strikes per pass.
On the 5th pass the M3 gets its gun on the Hog, 2 pings and the Hog looses a wing.

WHAT'S WRONG HERE?

Last weekend I pumped 30-40 rounds of 30mm and chitload of 15mm to Lancaster and result was one smoking engine.
After I shot all 30mm away I glued myself to Lancs tail and sniped its elevators off.

If you got to sit on his 6 long enough to empty all yer rounds and live HE DESERVES TO DIE.

Post by: CavemanJ on February 20, 2001, 04:12:00 PM: I've seen several others pilots make successive runs on M3s and the trucks kept on trucking. I've been on roger wilco with guys driving M3s surviving successive passes from bandits and they not only survive, they rack up 3-4 kills before someone finally hammers then w/ a bomb

Post by: Weave on February 20, 2001, 04:57:00 PM: Hmmm, I've had no such problems either killing M-3s, or being killed in them.

When in a M-3, I can bury the incoming fighter with hit sprites and maybe make his engine smoke just prior to the instant trip back to the tower.

Post by: Tac on February 20, 2001, 05:57:00 PM: I was M3'ing a field and a spit made like 5 passes at me, pinging me a lot in.. no damage at all. I did a wild shot with the m3 gun, saw 1 ping, he began to smoke, on the last pass I managed to get a few hits on the spit and it broke apart

Now, let me guess.. the M3 has the same guns as a buff right? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Post by: funked on February 20, 2001, 07:29:00 PM: Bomber guns and ground vehicle MG's are apparently boosted for gameplay. Even Ju 88 can kill with 5-10 pings.

Post by: Tac on February 20, 2001, 10:23:00 PM: Ju-88's guns killing? Since when? I thought those dart guns were there for showmanship.

Really, ive never seen, been killed by or killed a fighter (when in ju-88) that plane.

Post by: Regurge on February 21, 2001, 12:08:00 AM: At least once I've seen an m3 take 5+ AP rounds from my panzer and keep on truckin. But I'm pretty sure it was a connect issue.

Post by: Staga on February 21, 2001, 12:36:00 AM: Wobble I spinned around him about 10 minutes; Clearly enough time for him to waste all his ammo. After that it was easy (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Post by: Ripsnort on February 21, 2001, 07:39:00 AM: I experimented with VSYNC OFF and got a better frame rate, but big time 'rubber bullets'. Could it be you have VSYNC OFF?

Post by: Makarov1 on February 21, 2001, 12:15:00 PM: I've also had nasty encounters with the M3 for the past couple of nights. I've hit them with an LA-5FN, P-38, and C205 with no effect. Two pings from them and I'm going down in a ball of fire.
PERK THE M3!!!
