Bomber Guns Ineffective

Alpo,sorry,I think you may have a point after my post,I took up a ki 67,at 20k I was attacked by 2 Spitfires,at 600 I seemed to be getting hits,but the closer They got the harder it seemed to be to get hits.I think you do have a point,that said,I did shoot one down,and the other broke off the attack,after I had lost 2 drones.

  Sorry again:)

                       And thx HTC:aok

No problem... I'm just thrilled to hear it's not just us seeing it.  

It just bugs me when I know the guy is a Spit V as all I'm hearing is the .303s "tap tap tapping" and I'm losing system after system and he's d200 filling my gun sight

Could the bomb gunner problem be related to the colision detection problem?

You know, how when you get into a certain "range" in external view, your cockpit kicks in/out? Perhaps there are other "ranges" for other displays for when fighters are closing in, where at the "closest" range the hit detection is fubared.

That would explain the rash of complaints about colisions being off, and might explain why you can't HIT anybody if they're close, because the detection is off for both guns and hits?

I don't know, I'm speculating here...

Starting to wonder if not just buffs, but a hit detection problem for all aircraft.
Had a P38 pass right in front of me a d0 according range counter, let loose with Tiffy cannons seen hit sprites, guy reported taking no hits. Had La7 on my tail at d0 spraying away took no hits.
