The game worked a bit better before.
FPS varied in a fluid way.
Now when off-line i get poor fps but not on-line !!! :O
If I look to the ground, fps goes low about 25 or 30 or LESS to return to about 50 when i look to the sky.
The problem is that It jumping between 25 and 50 without mean values.
Here intel 2.2 GHz and ati 1650 or x1650 if i remember well.
:salute
P.S.
If somebody would tell me which is the function of weapon sound, I will say TY.
In game I cannot hear anything associated with this sound option. Why we have it?

Maybe that's the sound for the .45 the pilot has when you bail?

I think You are right. I will try soon.

Try turning off ground clutter from the air - that should help your frame rates while looking at the ground.

I was hopping the 88mm flak would be great vs vulchers pest control but comparing with the fleet 5'' guns is just a joke. How did germans shot down 1000s of planes with this piece of scrap metal?! :headscratch: I spent 30 min last evening in one, on a base with lots of low cons adjusting range, lead and.... 0 (Zero) kills, do i sux or this is way undermodeled ?:headscratch:

The germans were shooting lots of 88s into lots of bombers in formation.
I think the 88s are adictive. I have killed a couple of buffs and fighters along with a gv or two.
Even missing it gets the cons attention lol.
-
Yep, it's totally different when there are dozens of gun batteries shooting at a "slow" formation of 100+ bombers flying straight and level, rather than one gun firing at a fast fighter that is NOT flying straight and level or a formation of three bombers. Also remember in real life they had more than 30 minutes of training and practice.
-
LEAD LEAD LEAD when u thinks it's enough LEAD SUM MO!!
-
I like the 88s just how they are. The last thing I wanted to see was a Manawar "Kill Club" at every airbase. If a guy wants to take zero risk and sit in a gun, spoiling the air to air fights for other folks, then it should be hard.

I've gotten kills with the 88's just takes some practice. :aok
....But back to the OP issue.....
I have noticed a performance hit on my PC also. Before the new version game play was good even with advanced graphic settings on and frame rates hitting a low of 36 or so. Now with the same settings I was dropping to below 10 and the game crashing. Graphics of course were then disabled by the game.
But then I carefully went over Skuzzy's hints and tips for my machine, cleaning up started applications and such, stopping I-Tunes, updated the Nvidia driver. This seemed to help getting 50+ fps with disabled graphics.
Question: is a 2006 PC with a dual core processor worth improving with a new graphics card and more ram?
I want the eye candy but am unable to shell out the cash for a new system.

You would really have to delve deeper into what kind of hardware is on your system. It's all connected. Some systems might take more advanced RAM, whereas you may have "topped out" so to speak on yours. (just using RAM as an example)
If you know the particulars you can post a new thread in the hardware forum. Tons of folks in there that are helpful with quite a few of those kinds of "should/can I upgrade?" posts.

New Patch :aok I was watching the bug reports and with their latest patch within one week of a major new release, HTC has seemed to solve just about every bug reported.
I have a low end machine and know it. I don't attempt to use the eye candy features other than detail terrain (cause it's so dang purdy). If I want the eye candy, all I have to do is film, turn everything up and then playback..... brilliant :rock

I would say it's overmodeled rather than undermodeled because you get real time ranging and fuzing. The real difference is in number of guns and number of targets. A group of archers firing a long range volley into a massed formation would be devastating but a single archer firing at a single long range target would have a tough time hitting it.
Even though it's quite challenging, I expect some people will get pretty good at it. I also don't know that I would be very comfortable flying around if there were 4 manned 88's simultaneously blasting away at me and not just one.
-
I have a low spec pc and was surprised at the fact I got to turn on all the bells and whistles and have improve frame rates.... Second patch though sorted that out hahaha ...... I now have to turn off ground detail on some maps ( ground clutter did cause a good hit before after patch)
As for the 88 ... It is quite a funky thing to mess about in .... Ranging, although a little challenging is pretty easy really... The rate at which you can adjust Surprised me.... It is a bit addictive to and funny.... Range range range fire .... Puff .... Flip flopping con hahaha.... Certainly makes those who hovered over a base waiting for an upper to jump think a little more I think

mind you, there were hundreds of 88mm firing thousands of rounds into a predetermined box where the allied bombers were at. I'll give HTC the benefit of the doubt in terms of traverse rate and RoF.
if you fired for 30 minutes and didn't get any kills or assists, then what does that say about you and your ability to learn something new, adapt, and put it to good use? :D

A whole 30 minutes? 1) When Germans opened up on buff formatins during WWII they opened up with BATTERIES of 88's. A battery consist of 6 or more guns.
2) Time and practise. 1 gun alone is NOT easy.....but doable. Go into "Off Line" and practise. To say it's "Under Modeled" is to say "Yo Folks....I Sux, cause I haven't trained or tried!!" (HTC yall really need a rolly eye so I can insert here :D)
Try practising before "Whining".

I don't think it's a fair comparison between the two, some quick looking online and it seems to me we're talking about two very, very different guns. The 88mm is substantially smaller than the 5" naval guns (5" is 127mm) the navy gun has a shell that comes in around 55lbs compared to the 88 shell which is around 20lbs, less than half the weight. The proximity fuse also has a more subtle psychological effect as well, it only bursts when there is a decent chance of doing damage to the target, you know your close. With the timed fuses on the 88 it goes off when it reaches it's assigned range, regardless of where the target is so I think it's easy to see the flak going off near the target but the target could be several hundred yards away in fact.

i have yet to be shot down by an 88---but i shot down a plane with an 88

. How did germans shot down 1000s of planes with this piece of scrap metal?! :
I dont think we see quite as large formations nor very large formations nearly as often as the Germans did

i have 3 kills with 88 in about 50 rounds 2 of them were at 5k and were fighters. its just math if plane flying at u at 6 k set fuse to 5.5 or lower if flying away from 6k set fuse to about 6.8 even 7k. it takes time for shot to get there, then there is the ark the round it doesnt go in a straight line. hope this helps with "practice practice practice" :)
-
It seems to me that the problem is this:
NEW TOY = AWESOME RESULTS!!!
But it doesn't, does it? No one here was good when they first started flying. Why assume that you will be master of the 88 in a couple of weeks, especially (with the possible exception of ManaWar) you do not spend most of your time using them.

I got a CTD when my P-51D was fighting with Seafire and F6F at the port.
Also the 88 and AI CV Flak were shooting on me.
sems CTD still here in new patch... :(

I still prefer the 37mm field guns personally. they are effective at longer range than the 88's, IMO. I am lighting up buffs at 4-4.5k yds with the 37mm while the 88's are not hitting at 2.0k yds, etc. I suppose people might figure it out eventually.. but very few bothered to figure out 37mm field gun or ostwind since the wirb came out..
-
i know it was a fluke but i took out a corsair with the 88 @8.7k poor dude didn't think THAT would happen... but again a fluke, haven't hit another another since but still enjoy the practice!

4-4.5K that is impressive
