Title: 2 issues after server update
Post by: aircat on October 21, 1999, 11:48:00 PM
 at first I had a great connection ... seeing that the new leathality was supposed to be in effect I take the 51 up....... well my gunnery was on tonight.... took on 2 bogies and filled them with enough lead they shuold have been to heavy to fly... neither of them took damage enough to even seem to hinder thier planes.... I ran out of ammo and rtb. I feel like somehow Im shooting rubber riot rounds.... oh well Ill go practice bombing... take up a 17... got waxed fast by a spit while passing the canyons. ok take another one.... this time got almost to target (from 18 to 1) base in sight final lining up.... DISCO... hmm fluke take up a 17 again from 18 get to other side of canyons... DISCO... one more try... up 18 get to canyons.... DISCO! now I know its not me I tested a few other games (WB/RB2/Ultima Online) all of them was good steady pings.... rock solid... WB I had a line of 260, and 2 lines at 230 neither of them changed more then 8 either way. this is my ping time average for some time now. but AH just dont seem to hold connection....

that was happening to runstang tonight also.  he was trying to get a 17 into 1 and hammer the field.  First time he discoed as he was lining up.  I was flying escort.  He reconnected, launched from 18, and I went to rendevous with him for escort and he was dicoed are field 4.  Three more attempts resulted in 3 discoes before he even got the mtn range (launched from 18 all sorties)

ok! now I know they are messing with us!....  atleast as far as damage model goes... I have been trying to land with out various parts... very little success if stablizer or half wing or just gear are out... BUT NOW tongiht I landed SAFELY UPSIDE DOWN... also note that I was missing half wing and the ENTIRE tail section! ok which way did you REALY turn the damage/leathality to? I thought my bullets seemed a bit on the soft side.

Im a spit dweeb for now. So I should keep my mouth shut, but if anything I think the spit got harder. I took an allful lot of pings with no damage. And the 109s are so easy to bring down Its like there zekes, just harder to catch up with.

I believe the P-51 has had a problem with its  guns.

That should be addressed in the next patch, as will the damage model for the B-17.  In fact, I believe that the damage models for all planes is being looked at.

Landing successfully upside down and motoring about has always been in AH so far.  Wait until the damage/ground model is finished.

Cheers,
