Pilot Wounds Galore!
« on: October 15, 2016, 07:53:24 PM »
I posted before that it seemed to me that I've been getting a LOT of pilot wounds. In the past 2-3 days I've flown, I have been pilot wounded four of the last five times I've been hit.

I'm not complaining about getting hit - that's my own dang fault - but I wanted to call out the high occurrences of PW on me. All of them were while I was in P-51D, and I got them via collision, buff gunner, fighter gunnery and I think unmanned ack.

Is anyone else noticing a high rate of PW occurrences?

If it's by design, I can live with it, but I wanted to call it out in case it's an unintended change.

I haven't noticed getting them any more than normal, but I took a couple year break and my memory isn't the greatest.

My troubles involve losing the v-stab of late.  :(

LOL that fifth non-PW hit was of my v-stab. Stupid PT boat got me and shot me in my chute! John Kennedy was not captaining that one.

They do seem to come in waves. For me, I keep getting both ailerons shot off.

Can you say you've gotten X pilots wounds in Y occurrences of being hit?

Or if HiTec tracks events in code, he can disabuse us of the veracity of this anomaly and we can chalk it up to bad luck!

I also noticed that when flying a 109 or P-39, the hub cannon gets shot out a lot.  Seems strange that the cowl guns still work.  Must have been Luke Sywalker taking the shots. :noid


For annoyance level, it goes like this:

1. radiator hit
2. v-stab
3. pilot wound
4. hub gun
5. main fuel

for me it is like junky....detrimental hits with only one or two pings heard..but on the other side I seem to unload on planes and do no damage...but then I too will have a 1 ping kill bit of a strange balance..also angles of hits are weird for many on my end....both receiving and giving...some are real head scratchers...not all the time but a good percentage...

I personally am putting it down to the new game sounds and muscle memory. I get a little disorientated at the moment for some reason...but it is frustrating me a bit....I'm sure I played much better on my first day of AH.  :D

MickDono, does the Captain Fantastic pic mean you're a StevieG or a Watford supporter?
