dg6546 Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 Is the damage model implemented correctly? Seems like the m61 is ineffective against aircraft. It looks like most of the ammo in the belt is AP shell and it is over-penetrating. Not very effective against aircraft but ground targets.
Cake Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 I shot a 9 straight up the tail of an Su-25 and it still took more canon rounds to finish it than an undamaged F5. It seems a little underwhelming, but it could be totally accurate for all i know....? 6700K@4.6 48Gb - 1080Ti Hybrid - Warthog - RIFT
Shimmergloom667 Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 What mission have you been playing? I set up a few training missions for myself and made sure to only load HEI or AP&HE mix and it literally shreds everything it touches. i7 - 9700K | 32 GB DDR4 3200 | RTX 2080 | VKB Gunfighter Mk II /w MCG Pro | Virpil T-50CM2 Throttle | TrackIR 5 | VKB Mk.

It looks like most of the ammo in the belt is AP shell and it is over-penetrating. Not very effective against aircraft but ground targets. You can choose your ammo (HEI, AP, TP). Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!
rikkles Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 I confirm that if you load proper HEI or AP&HE you're good to go. I just set up a mission against 4 MiG 23s, for missile training. Unfortunately I can't seem to understand how to use the Phoenix yet, but I splashed 3 MiGs with cannon fire. Short bursts, very close range. The 4th one limped home.
