Fix the Wirble
« on: February 15, 2009, 05:09:19 PM »
NOT a perk thread, please leave perking it, out of here.

-Lower ENY
-Lower turret traverse speed
-Disallow continuous fire of all 4 guns
-incorporate 20 round clips


Any one of these please?

None of the above. Fly higher. Attack other planes......in the air, at altitude.

Can I have the range increased to 3K on the Wirble please. Some of the planes are staying out of effective range.  :devil

i would say the easest to do would be the 20rd clip and the envy which should help balance the efectiveness of wirble as a plane killer

Actually that's probably the least easy to implement. Adding loading time between individual, single shots (like in tanks) is easy, it's just lowering the rof. But to simulate the clips, you will have to introduce an additional interval every 20 rounds/barrel. I'm not sure if that's easy to code.

I think the 2 I like -Lower ENY
-Lower turret traverse speed
-Lower ENY

Its too easy to get a kill with one, and believe me i cant shoot a sitting b-17 with a panzer, but i can get kills with a wirble.

I dont see how you could feed little cartoon clips. You would need a little cartoon soldier doing the feeding, and I bet when they were getting shot at they feed really, really, fast. Then what do you do about Osties, and Tanks, and machine gun toting half tracks and jeeps ? They will all need little cartoon guys limiting their load times.

For the record the WWs are my biggest enemy but Ive learned to live with them. Dont perk them but "do" geld them. Thats a nice touch.

Im just glad most people start shooting them before we can see them.

Hard to dodge fire when you're going 350 in a dive in a Mossie with 13 kills, whilst he's just sitting there spitting out 10 grand of rounds, spraying and praying.

This game tries to lean toward flight model realism, and any of these would help it.

If you had 13 kills in a Mossie its a safe bet you didnt T&B with spits to get them. Next time vulch a little less, even still, a diving Mossie is very tough to hit in a wirbel. The thing dives and zooms like its on steroids. Next time be happy with 13 vulches and just go home.

5 vulches, 8 clean kills
Nothing is hard to hit when you have 300 rounds to blow.

Don't mean to be an arse, but you should get some glasses. If you're going to accuse me of asking for a perk for it, then you should actually read what I said before replying. Thanks.

Realism, again. Wirbles, as facts have proven, were not able in RL to fire 300 rounds at once, without stopping.

Settle down girls.  This has nothing to do with effectiveness.  It's about accurately representing the real thing, which our current wirbel doesn't do.

Probably not, but there are several aircraft that take wirbles out effectively, this also does not accurately represent the real thing.
