Hello all. If you are reading this thread and looking for another complaint about the new patch, you are not gonna see it here so just keep moving (don't want to waste anyone's time).
Ok, now to the topic at hand. I've always been a horrible shot to begin with but I seem to be really struggling since the new patch. My frame rate is good (between 50 and 60) and have not notice any lagging or stuttering. Does anyone know if modeling for guns have changed with the new patch?
I seem to be leading too much and overshooting the target most of the time. I feel like I'm having to develop a whole new sight picture now every time I squeeze the trigger.
Thanks,

You are not alone in that perception. In the few sorties I could fly I have a very hard time hitting my mark, my hit % has been cut by half.
Gun modeling hasn't changed tho, such a major redesign would have found it's way to the version notes...
-
I have no problem, I think it seems easier to hit people. I'm not sure if it because I haven't play in a while or not. Everythign seems to slow down a bit, giving more time to make small adjustment.
-
Did you check your convergence ?
Every one of my convergence settings reset to default. Threw me off a bit too.
-
Perhaps since AH is set to default to the highest screen resolution now things are a bit weird to you. Just a guess.
-
I've noticed that also, HighG -- even with detail turned off and convergance reset. There is another thread around here somewhere about fx on hits and kills as well. So, one would tend to believe that it would be on the list of inumerable bugs to be swatted.
-
No changes were made in that area. The only change that I can think of that might produce this effect is that the new automatic field of view configuration is picking a different FOV setting than what you previously used. I suppose that could throw your sight picture off but that's just a hypothesis.

<--hit % cut in half

Soooooo......
What is half of zero?

IMO, changes to screen resolution/FOV/geometry and/or new cockpit artwork/modelling will change the cues that you subconsiously use to predict the path and rate at which objects will move across your screen.

What can FOV settings do in terms of say, having a standard 19 inch monitor and a resolution of 1280x1024? I've always been slightly dumb in that field.
-
I still think everything looks "bigger" or "closer". My gunnery is off as well but I believe it is a matter of perception.
My normal problem is not leading enough and now, surprisingly, I've found myself shooting in front of targets in turns more than once.
As the gvers have complained as well, I think it will just take some time to "get used" to it.
Otherwise, I don't think the gunnery model nor lethality has changed at all.
Everything is BIGGER and clearer.

The aim is off for my in both GV's and planes now but I am Adjusting.
-
my aim in tanks is a little crappy oh wait it always has been :lol.
Haven't noticed any difference from the previous version. I point and shoot, things blow up, all is good.
-
I noticed that my forward views have changed, it's like I'm sitting further forward in my seat. Had to reset view to enable me to see instruments etc as before.
Also, yesterday, my tracers trails and hit sprites vanished for a while, bizarre?!
-
Well thanks for answering my question. Played a little tonight in Titanic Tues and it was a little better. I think you guys are right. I'm gonna have to re-acquire my sight picture again. If I may be so bold as to provide some advice..... It seems you do not need to lead as much as you used to with the old graphics. That is the number one reasons for my misses it seems. I filmed some fights tonight and when I missed, it was always due to too much lead.

I agree with wrongway. I noticed in the coral sea scenario that enemy planes appeared larger and was throwing off my gunnery.

i've played around with my convergence also and seem to be off on alot of my shots, will this depend on what our PC specs are if this would effect us? as far as like our graphics card or whatever? i just thought my gunnery was off because i hadn't been on as much as before. and...is there a way we can fix this to get it back to normal?
-
Maybe in trying to sort out the issues with the new version, downloading updated drivers and such, and whatever else we thought we might have needed, we may have affected our ballistics ourselves? Just a thought.

seeing as things all look different now, i suspect that it may simply be a need to get used to new visual ques?

xD yep ! i do the same, wait til the bad guy fill my windscreen. Then I fill their plane up w/ holes !
-
My gunnery was off for a while as well. I seemed to not be leading enough. Shots I would normally nail, I was missing really bad. (Shots like a spit turning 200 out. Thats sad :() It seems to be returning to normal though.

Soooooo......

Isn't that a Black Hole?

Ive only flown 1 sort with the new patch (been buisy) landed 5 kills in a 38..
no complaints here :aok

Crap... well that my friend is probably the biggest DING! I have heard. Tonight I will reset all mine... explains allot. Glad one of us was able to figure that out. :salute
