Title: Single Ping Critical Damage
Post by: JunkyII on October 13, 2017, 10:58:49 PM
Anyone else getting a lot of these lately? I figure with less numbers on the servers it would be less frequent due to Lag issues but it seems like it is happening more.

Just had a Spit 8 shoot half my wing off in a 109G6 with a very lucky high deflection shot with a single 303 round...unless Im mistaken that the nose of the bullet hitting you cant determine what type of round hit you.

How can you for sure tell it wasnt the 20mm that did it?

Don't the different size rounds make different noises?

I mean the should, a cannon round should be more explosive compared to a 303...the noise I heard was a ping.

Yes JunkyII,  I do recall more of the single "ping" sound prior to critical damage, but this has been the case since the implementation of the fmod sound system, or so I thought. 

It could be simply a coincidental lucky hit, or even a mislabeled sound event, but it shouldn't hurt to ask if others are having similar experience and not be mistaken for conspiracy theory (my words, not anyone else's). 

But then again, that is the kind of tough love we have come to "touche"  then sit and wait for the perfect chance to "counter parry" and  "riposte" a witty strike, while avoiding crossing the boundaries of the bulletin board hammer. 

I must admit, I was amused at the responses.   :D

I’ve noticed the same thing. I have received several one ping kills from planes 1k out. These aren’t just critical damage single pings but my plane vaporizes.

I think that psychokinetic girl from the movie Carrie flys for the Knights because sometimes I don't hear any pings at all yet my bombers suddenly catch on fire.  :O

Early on i  ah3 there was a bug that allowed you to take down an entire buff formation while only hitting one bomber. Its long been fixed and i dont think would be related to the OPs scenario tho.

Yesterday I was not seeing the expected amount of hit sprites in the MPA but suddenly a wing would come owwf. Race condition perhaps?

The town ack is supposed to be like 37mm right? 1 ping would do it for most light planes.
