Phuz Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 I've been enjoying many of the improvements that 1.08 has to offer, but one thing has jumped out at me as being abnormal; The rate at which the gau-8 is failing due to battle damage. I understand that its a large weapon and therefore more easily damaged, but does anyone else think that the GAU-8 seems to be failing more often than you would expect after taking even the smallest amounts of battle damage?
Conure Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 Not a very technical answer but doesn't the gun take up a substantial section of the airframe? As such you'd presume most damage to the body of the aircraft would damage the weapon....Not sure though Intel i7 6700k, Asus GTX1070, 16gb DDR4 @ 3200mhz, CH Fighterstick, CH Pro Throttle, CH Pro Rudder Pedals, Samsung Evo 850 SSD @ 500GB * 2, TrackIR 5 and 27" monitor running at 2560 * 1440, Windows 10.

Frostiken Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 Yes and keep in mind the bathtub protects the pilot, not the gun. Damage to the just about any part of the system will cause it to jam the **** up. So I'd say this is pretty realistic. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
rextar Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 Also keep in mind that the airframe is built AROUND the gau8,so in reflection any damage would affect the gun,assuming its along the main airframe.
