.50 cal recoil in the updated flight model?


Recommended Posts

I understand the flight model was tweaked a bit recently is this correct?  Over ruddering seems to have improved a little but the pitch is still as janky as ever and doesn't feel like I'm flying a plane only 1k lbs lighter than a P-47.  I know it's a big engine in a smaller airframe but it seesaws more than my Bf109.  Just feels too jumpy.  Also, does anyone notice when you fire all .50's the entire nose freaks out?  Almost impossible to hold the reticle on target anymore.  When ground strffing using the dive breaks helps but I don't think that was their intended use.  Is that over modeled recoil or is it a PICNIC (problem in chair, not in computer)?

I have not.

That kinda IS their intended use.

Any attack profile demanding a steep angle is their intention, really. It sounds like you're conducting your runs too slow. 

Reformers hate him! This one weird trick found by a bush pilot will make gunfighter obsessed old farts angry at your multi-role carrier deck line up!

Back in the day on Aces High some of the best Corsair sticks would use them in turn fights on the deck. Not only to get speed down to bring the wonder flaps into play, but if you pull too hard, stalled it,  and hit the deck you MIGHT bounce back up again, lol (I actually did see a guy do that).

I can't visualize that, in my head, without a cartoon "SPROING!" sound effect.
