NOt sure if it's a bug, but I haven't seen it till today... and sorry didnt save the film..
Spit 9 attacking my ostwind from about 10 degrees above horizon.. instant death to tower from 2 hispanos and 2 303's? :huh
he was attacking from about 4oclock position of my hull.. WTF? is there a sweet spot Ive never found? just a lucky shot?
-
Driving a spit, i got a kill like this. This worked also with pt boat and lvt.
:salute
-
PT boats and LVTs dont have the armor a osti has, it shouldn't happen in my opinion.
-
Come up next to me and tickle me in a Tiger and I fall over dead. I have serious issues with there somehow being a double standard in armor :headscratch:
When I am in it, it is the worst possible armor made in some cheap shop out of old tin cans. When someone else has armor, they forged it out future Star Wars galactic metal.
Kvuo, I am sorry that you seem to have gotten one of my Ostwinds that I must have miraculously brought home safely. :huh

I find it easy to kill osties in a spit. I only fire the cannon for more accuracy. and shoot from above at an angle but not too steep.

well that was the first time i've ever seen it happen, in almost 4 years... getting turret shot out, yes, easily.. but never sent to tower as if hit by a tank round or bomb..

Doesn't an osti have an open gunner turret?
I thought this was discussed a long time ago, if you - the gunner - get hit by ammo from a plane - you die..
:headscratch:

No, that just turrets you. And semp I'd love to see some films of these "easy" flak kills with a dweebfire.
-
dive on a wirble or osti at the right angle and you can kill them
-
Name the place and time and i will be there with an osti or wirble! I will not shoot, just to see if this can happen or just a bug!
-
tucks luck,
when he got captured he did the same thing, put a 20mm round down the barrel of a flak and peeled it back. If the Germans hadn't thought this was so hilarious they would have probably killed him because he had just strafed and killed several of their buddies.
Are you sure there wasn't an enemy GV or another plane around?
Only time I've ever killed a GV with gun fire only (20mm or less) was a panzer. We had captured a field from CV and he was making the base flash afterwards. I was C-Hog.
Found him in some woods and did 2x top down all four 20mm guns blazing. I really didn't expect him to pop but he went BOOM with no-one else around either. :noid
of course the PM accusations of cheating followed but you have to remember the force is strong in this one :D
-
well a spit has 4 303s,and yes you can get killed like that just aim right in the turret. Also how so would your wirbel get killed anyway,your a wirb man. Lastly what guy would be strafing a tank on fighter mode.
-
Well, that settles it then. Thanks for enlightening us all. :salute
-
Those hizookas will tear a panzer up.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uytYDVfnyGc :D I got quite a few flamers for this one, they just wouldn't believe it. I dont see how a Hispano could rip up an Ostie in just a few rounds though... thats a little overkill IMO/.
-
50cals owning a panzer... now i've seen it all :rofl
Never noticed the difference in registered hits and effective hits :confused:
-
Any vehicle/aircraft/boat/ect in Aces High dies when its "pilot" is killed. Makes sense in planes, but can get a little wonky in GVs. A vehicle's "pilot" is in the driver's seat, so if you can get your lead stream down through the open turret and have a round hit the driver's head, the tank explodes. This is why Jeeps can kill Tigers; drive inside the Tiger, pour a few .50 rounds into the control panel (driver), Tiger explodes.
-
Noticed the same problem on Sunday in both Ostis and Weebles...
Spits, 110s and a P-51 ALL morted me on first passes with short bursts.
Dont know what's happened to the models, but something sure seems to have.

For those of you who don't think a .50 cal can go through 0.4 inches of armor pretty quick you are sadly mistaken. From World War II through the Vietnam War, the big Browning was used with standard ball, armor-piercing (AP), armor-piercing incendiary (API), and armor-piercing incendiary tracer (APIT) rounds. All .50 ammunition designated "armor-piercing" was required to completely perforate 0.875" (22.2 mm) of hardened steel armor plate at a distance of 100 yards (91 m), and 0.75" (19 mm) at 547 yards (500 m). All WW2 .50 cal equipped aircraft used API or APIT ammo.
