Mirtma Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 Did I see right? When fire to the ground (A10) cannon fire is bouncing from ground...

Squid_DK Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 Yep it is right, try to find some clips of beaufighters from Coastal command or F4U's from USN attacking shipping you will se a lot of richochets of water, I have even seen it with small arms training from ships.

ED Team Wags Posted March 28, 2010 ED Team Posted March 28, 2010 Generally, around 10% of the AP rounds will ricochet. Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/wagmatt Twitch: wagmatt System: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=3729544#post3729544
Ven Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 It's not that I'm doubting anyone but just curious. Is there any scientific explanation for this?
Squid_DK Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 Try jumping into water and land on your stomach, it is not that soft or squishy... water is actually pretty dense, and the projectiles move pretty darn fast, you even get ricochets from tank rounds, I read somewhere that up to Desert Storm where the tanks were practicing firing in the desert they had shots bounce and thay got tracked by radar up to 16000 feet.

golfsierra2 Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 It's not that I'm doubting anyone but just curious. Is there any scientific explanation for this?

Ven Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 Of course at shallow angle. But 30mm cannon rounds bouncing off surface of water at 40 degree angle is a bit different than skipping rocks.
McDaniel Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 My first encounter with ricochet was with an Airgun, I was about 13 years old, and tried to shoot plastic bottles in a lake ;) so my pellets ricocheted and hit something on the other side of the (small) lake :thumbup: |AMD 7800x3D | 64GB DDR5-3600| GTX 4090 | Virpil Stick, Collectiv, WW MIP, WW Throttle, MFG Crosswind V2 | Windows 11 64-bit | SSD Samsung | 4K LG Oled 48 | Oculus Q3 | Simlab based Cockpit

In this example I'm sure you didn't shoot down at the water. But was wondering how a 30mm cannon shooting down at surface of the water can bounce off. I originally assumed that this was just overlooked in the sim as it may be too much work to implement this in all the rivers and lakes in the game. But some of you are saying that this is realistic so I was curious if anyone had some logical explanation. Not another example of shallow ricochet.

Mirtma Posted March 29, 2010 Author Posted March 29, 2010 Ok. They are bouncing. But all of them? From the soft ground? It's like fireworks. Didn't they penetrate something on the ground?

Ven Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 (edited) That youtube video is quite amazing. It's not shot on the surface of water but still... how the cannon rounds shot downward can ricochet up is very interesting effect? I was hoping that someone would explain that in a logical and scientific way. No more "rock skipping" explanation. Edited March 29, 2010 by Ven

mvsgas Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 I don't care if it is realistic or not, It looks awesome. :thumbup: To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..
