I still have 500 cannon rounds upon every launch

Me too. But raking zekes and Ki's from nose to tail with those cannon rounds used to have greater results then... nothing.

Could be just rubber bullets from lag. But the rounds dont seem to do the damage thy used to.

Dont mind me. Just a whine born more from frustration then anything. Since the newest update cant seem to hit anything. and when I do. not as much happens

I noticed something similar last week with the 20mm on the TA152.  Shot the h3ll out of a A6M5 and nada.... Chalked it up to lag as I was getting some odd and highly fluctuating ping times that night.  *shrug*

Maybe nothing is changed but yesterday I used up all my ammo against a set of lancs and  smoked all three but no kill.  In one pass I was right on the wing root for a full 2 secs watching sprites but it didnt fall off. Booooh!

Well that's why!
Your supposed to ping them with taters!  :old:

I'd used them up killing other stuff.  Taters still work when I hit things with them. :D 

One would think multiple 20mm hits would be enough to bring down a damn zeke.  That being said, I've noticed some higher ping times / latency of late and traced it to down to a router on the AT&T network....might be the issue.

Haven't had any trouble with the lethality of Dora's guns after the release of the current version.

Why is it when a player's hit on an enemy airplane doesn't turn it in to a fireball like the Death Star getting torp'd does it mean there is something wrong???

HTC has not changed the lethality of the .50 cals, or of any weapon as of late.  "Rubber bullets" they are not, you just didn't hit enough.  Please stop blaming the game "coad" for the lack of landing enough hits on critical areas of the targeted plane.  It is that simple.

Even if I do hit I dont kill, but that is simply because I suck.

the other day I vulched a 51 in a 38. Put a 3 second burst into the engine/cockpit area. Nothing. Later on someone got him and I only got an assist :cry

 :aok Made the same experience. I did a full load at a Spixteen, i saw the hits on it and i saw some grey clouds when the some bullets left the Spixteen.

 :devil Nothing happend and a while later a runstang finished the Spixteen, i got a nice assist. :banana:

Something is wrong, something may have changed.

Well, if it's repeatable (happening more than once) somebody should make a bug report post. Maybe HTC will respond and let you know if it was something that got changed, or just your latency affecting it.

If you've got film of said experience (bullets hitting, no damage, later got an assist) post that, as they can pick the film apart far more than you can, and tell exactly how many bullets hit and how much damage was done, possibly indicating where the problem might be.

instead of hitting them from nose to tail or wing tip to wing tip i try and concentrate on one section, seems to work more often than not.

Bring Lusche in here. If there's any change as to the lethality of any weapons, it will be reflected in the stats.

It would have to be a change on a massive scale to be showing up in the kill stats.
And even then it wouldn't be entirely clear, as we can see only a decline in overall kill numbers, which in turn can have many reasons.

Please HTC/HiTech/Pyro/Skuzzy, disregard this lost and confused soul.

Reports of rubber bullets is nothing new (or exclusive to the totally awesome Dora-2.0) by players in AH.
