Title: do u share the same feeling?
Post by: SFRT - Frenchy on June 24, 2000, 07:49:00 PM
I have the feeling that whatever the plane you fly, u need to put more hits to do a critical damage. As far as i'm concerned, I love it because it makes dogfighting longer then more interesting. I recall when flying the Niki, 1 ping on the wing tip at less than 300y and ciao here goes the wing, i got a lot of kills with those lucky shots, now it's a different story and I like that, how about you guys?

Oh...and... hummm... the current P47 paint job is very well done but I strongly wish we could have an another one, someone know what is the proper way to beg HTC for it? Oh and, Am I the only one wishing to see an another paint job on this wonderfull gift that HTC provided to us?

I've had the same thought, the .50s seem a bit toned down, though I won't swear to it.

I wont swear to it either... but my impression is that lethality has been toned down.

But do you prefer it this way? I prefer as far as I'm concerned.

I don't know Nash,

Seems both times you hit me with the 20mm from your a5 my plane fell apart fairly quickly  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

And both times I got you, my Lightning was out of cannon and only had .50 left  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

I wonder if armor has been re-done in some manner.  I've noticed that any armor still seems to be effective, though snapshots perpendicular to the surface from 4 hispanos still does the trick.

The tanks are the biggy for me.  Downing one with an F4u-1C is quite a chore.  I've also noticed that I can take front aspect hits from a .50 all day, but not perpendicular.

Just seems like there is some kind of deflection being modeled.

I'm sure something has changed.

"I spent yesterday afternoon  going over weapons modeling in detail and turned up a few things..."

Well, it's a feature.

Prop drag. On rounds. Yeap.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Yup, I like the paint the way it is on the 47. I think it's way cool. I think invasion stripes would add to it, but it doesn't really need them.

Camo, only on a Razorback if we get one.

A Testimonial.

Before 1.03 R 3 I flew all the airplane, and my K/D was something like .15/1.

Since I found the Jug I am like 1.25/1!

I have found that if you get less that 100 yards behind a FW-190A5 and hit him solid with all eight .50's he blows up real good!

I am liking the Jug very much thank you!
