Got smacked out of the air other night by and old nemisis of mine. Shot was approximatley 2.1 K from his field. Kvuo75 sent me some films of longer shots. I will go through and see if I can verify his longest. Perhaps we could make this a competition. Longest Auto gun shot verifyed by film. NO need to post the film unless someone calls (bs), then perhaps the film can be sent via e-mail to me for verification. I will rank the kills by length and all contestants must send me the film for verification. Once I have verified the shot I will make a pic for you and post it here.
So I guess I'll start the thread with this shot.. Enjoy.... Tuk151

:neener:
if you look in that same film a few mins later, i hit one of your squaddies at 3+k iirc :D
anyway, its not really a big deal.. if u spend enough time spraying into the sky, youre bound to hit something eventually. i'll try to get some bombers at 4.5 today and save the film :)

kvuo75 may not be a fighter pilot but he sure does make up for it in that Gun :furious he has hit me a few xs away from the base :salute kvuo75!!

LippyCH's P-38: 2 rounds fired to 3.5k from a Field Gun.
-
Killed BuLLz at 4k icon from field gun while he was in a P51 on last Wednesday. No film but I'm sure he'll tell you all about it.

I've hit planes out as far as 3.5k away running parallel, just use a real long lead :joystick:

TUK has wayyyyy too much time on his hands it seems. :D

If it's the sortie I remember, I witnessed it. I've seen Karaya make some awesome shots in an Osti or Manned gun.

T'was that sortie where I shot both Lippy and 4XTCH down :) 4X was a 1 shot 2k kill :)
-
I've shot down airjer at 3.8, but he was flying on a path that was straight at me. I just got lucky on guessing the bullet drop. He told me if it had been someone other than me, he would have accused them of using aimbot. :lol
Although not a manned ack, I once killed a P-51 with an osti from 3-4k. I was driving along, looked up & saw the pony flying over me way up there. I took one un-aimed pot shot in his general direction (straight up) just for the heck of it, then drove off about my business. 15 seconds later I get a kill message. It was the pony. The guy asked me on 200 or PM where I was because he never saw me. When I told him I was in an osti waaaayy down here, he started laughing his butt off and congratulating me. Ahh, good times. :)

I don't think film works on soft gun. It never has for me.

Nope. Has to be soft gun (37MM). I'm loving all these stories. Only one man (KVuo75) has sent me film.
Here are the standings lol.
1st. Kvuo75 - Range 2.1 Verified
2nd. ?
-
Puff ack is easy mode for something like this.
-
i had a 1.5 with a tank main gun off angle... no film tho ....
-
I wish I still had all of my old films. I had several films of me in an Ostwind making some pretty far shots. I can't think of the longest I've ever made, though.
-
T'was that sortie where I shot both Lippy and 4XTCH down :) 4X was a 1 shot 2k kill :)
Yeah I remember that. Isn't that the same night you kept trying to get me out of the only manned gun left on a base getting vulched? lol
-
I respect a good auto acker. It takes skill.
5" on the other hand... ROFL.
-

5" takes a lot of skill to get kills!!!!!!

Yeah I remember that. Isn't that the same night you kept trying to get me out of the only manned gun left on a base getting vulched? lol
That was also the night where TWICE I landed 9 kills a piece when 4XTCH left just one manned gun up in their two attempted base takes. :devil
-
You can quit rubbing it in now :furious
-
SYSTEM killed me with puffy ack 25k away, it wins :furious
-
Ive hit bombers flying within 3k of me routinely with my main gun....and i shot down bigpat going overhead at 3k in man gun his whole formation lol.
When BIGPAT dies he always pms calling you a cheater its pretty funny.

Kvuo is one of my in-game favorites. I have been lined up on a con and ready to squeeze and then poof - he's gone. Kvuo laughs on range. I appreciate ppl who can do what 99.9% of other ppl can't.
I do have a shot of my own to submit tho. Can't right now tho. On phone.

Ive seen Kvuo land kills from the shore battery on planes lmao

Gah, got me searching my films now. Wish BuLLz would stop by and verify my 4k'er.

id be more impressed if they used the gun sight like it was meant, instead of the pg up with mouse pointer game it shooting.

Here is a film from yesterday. Kill shot on B-17 off angle, into the sun and 3.6k away:

Have you ever fired one of these types of gun?....the sight is there for getting the general direction only...after the guns start blazing it is nothing but tracer work.
-
Is that limitted to the 37mm at the fields? What is the absolute range of one of those? I assumed if you shoot it at enough up angle, the shell will dissapear before it hits the ground. What is the 'dissapear' range of a 37mm?
-
I do not zoom in or adjust the sight (default btw).
I just know how to lead with precision and fire only 1-2 rounds at a time. I'll know if it's "yahtzee" after the first round is fired.
I passed on some of my knowledge to Banshee. He was the only one patient enough and he is damn good.
-

I don't use the page up method and the planes sometimes disappear in the bars of the sight. I have gotten hits from longer than 3.0 on several occasions. When they are that far away, it is just as much throwing rounds up and hoping, as aimbot skill.

awhile back i did testing in the MA with .target, to see the max range each AA gun would keep punching holes in the paper. this was at sea level base:
field gun = 4725 yd
ostwind = 2767 yd
wirb = 1719 yd
now that is also a pretty horizontal shot, so I'm not sure how the range might differ the more vertical you get, but when I get 4.5k hits on bombers overhead it's pretty much just walking the end of the tracer stream onto the formation. 4.5k icon ~ 4725yds, so it seems about right.
-
I heard ppl are using this are you serious?
hell yea! :aok
not only handy for ack shootin, but also for stuff without a reflector gunsight (il2, d3a, etc), and stuff like the 30cal and 50cal mg's on vehicles. its the same idea as the mouse pointer, but it's permanent (until you clean your screen, then have to draw it on again)

Oh yes :rock I love it most when you hit bombers at over 6k & then the pilot jumps in his rear guns & starts shooting at well? :headscratch: Nothing :aok Then the inevitable what were you in & how did you get away so fast? Or knocking down an entire fornation at 6K always a choice moment. :banana:

I think Kvou hit me on takeofff from my field, from a gun on his field! :aok

One time at bandcamp I was able to shoot down a B17 that was 2.5k ahead of me and 2k above. He also had a good 100mph on me too. I watched it again in ahv. the projectile travelled on its course and took 4 whole seconds to reach its mark. I was in a b25h firing the artillery cannon of course. :eek::confused:

does that count?

It was :aok Thank you. I don't record often so I have very few films I was just going through a few & took couple of screen shots. Any prizes for the most concentrated hits on one wing at distance? :D

i cant hit anything from the ground personally.. even the offline drones with cv guns is beyond me. BUT i do like it when guys can snipe planes like that (except when it happens to me). ive been killed pretty far out before, has gotten me to bob and weave a bit when im around bases. but im rambling.
my opinion, the 'kill' should count at the distance the hit was landed IF hit was a killshot. seems more fair that way, as fire is just a slightly delayed kill and skews the kill distance by however far the plane travels after the hit which is out of the gunner's control aside from shot placement. also, maybe different bracket for buff/fighter kills? just trying to keep you busy. :D
-
This was last year but I got sombody in a f4U at 5.5k. Wish I had it on film. I even apologized and told him I got lucky as heel. He said yea I didn't know what happened!

I agree 100%.
If two players score a hit at the same distance, how can one benefit by having his target travel 1000yards, while another is penalized by having his target travel 1000yards?
I think a distinction would need to be drawn; what's being measured? The furthest hit? Or the furthest fatal hit? If it's the later, an instant kill or the moment a target catches fire would be better than where it actually dies.
-
All of my confirmations have been counted as soon as the player gets the kill message. Fair enough I think... :old:
-

I don't know, that could be even worse!
Due to lag, I sometimes haven't gotten a kill message for quite a while after watching the guy explode or impact the ground. Like, 30 seconds (or more) delay. I'm probably one of the worst shots in the game when it comes to ground guns, but with a delay like that I may need to go through some of my films, ha!
But again, it's up to you on what your measuring... Are you trying to see how far someone can be away before you get the kill message? Or are you trying to see how far away someone can be accurate from the ground gun?
-
You make the rules TUK, but it should be at the point the fatal hit makes contact. Both of my hits on the list were actually hit .3k before they blew up. Lyric's kill was at 4.0k but he gets penalized because his target was incoming. Not really fair.
BTW, Kvuo75 tore a wing off my 205 from 1.5 out. With the nose gun of a Ki-67. :bhead
-
I see the point you guys are making. However, I will not be changing the way I scored them. From the beggining I was grading the shots on the Explosion(death message), not the original hit. :salute
-

still amazing shots all :salute
bet you guys cant hit me lol :neener: (have to start watching my back now)

Tuk did you get my other film?
Yep, got it today. I can confirm your 3.5 K shot on the lancs. I cant get the filmviewer to take a decent pic. I will confirm your kill however. Consider 5th place a tie with Lyric and Kvuo75 with a 3.5k shot a piece.. :salute

That 1st shot was an assist the second hit on the drone was the second hit & killed aircraft a longer shot again. I think :headscratch:
-
TUK my friend, I sent you another film which will give you a headache. Two out of three Lancs are killed (multiple hits on both) from 3.0k+ away. The problem is that one catches fire and blows up, but the other one blows up at 10.3k. If we go by the current rules, I win in a landslide. :banana: :rofl
-
just a sugestion, but you should hold the next contest as the "farthest recorded kill on an aircraft using rockets only" :aok

we extend that to the .45pistol in-air :P
