Gunfreak Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Last month, my new .50 cal ammo would light up Fw190A with a few hits. Now it appears I'm back to peppering it forever. Both me and my AI wingman just poured ammo into A8s and K4s you could see the planes getting chewed up, but the AI kept flying and flying. Now I've only tested for an hour. So I can say for sure, it might just be randomness. But it felt much more like the old days of just filling the German with lead with little effect. i7 13700k @5.2ghz, GTX 3090, 64Gig ram 4800mhz DDR5, M2 drive.

Ghost79 Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 (edited) not sure if its just the 0.5 cal, i seem to be forever hitting Anton's with my Spitfires 20mm and the damn thing keeps on flying. i dont have the the same issue with 109's though...

TK-421 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Yeah I was experiencing the same thing. The hit marker feed would keep going and going but the aircraft wouldn't have any form of catastrophic failure unless I'm super lucky. Most of the time the German planes fly away and just crash land from engine failure. It's like you can't actually kill the A.I. pilot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
303_Kermit Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) I'm quite happy from my P-47 8x0.5'' Last week I killed a 109 Pilot while he was leaving his cockpit I saw him getting out right into my tracers 20 m away from me. As far as I know Fire effectivness against FW-190 strongly depends on firing angle. There are orginal documets about it. If you aim well short burst can burn 190. If not one can struggle shooting random parts Best regards. Edited February 18, 2023 by 303_Kermit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-421 Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 (edited) It's hard to get an accurate playback assessment of where the strikes are happening but I just counted the "hit" notifications from the debrief. I counted 100 hits to kill two Dora's, funnily enough it was almost 50 for each plane, don't know if that is just a coincidence. I saw in the December update they adjusted the values for seat armour, that may have affected it. I suppose you would have to test it with other aircraft that have .50 cals on them against other airframes and see?
