harv Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 (edited) When you get a near miss from a SAM do you feel like the game physics and or cockpit camera do it justice? [i'm not talking about the SAM hits that send you plummeting to the ground here] I feel like the explosions which happen near your cockpit should buffet the plane about more. I'd love to see camera shake and whatever else the ED designers can dream up become implemented to reflect this. I'm sure it's realistic how it is - but for a bit of added drama it'd be nice. You guys agree or happy how it is? Edited June 25, 2011 by harv 1

joey45 Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 I had a few tank shells fly pass my Blackshark a few times... @Plainsight - I think it squashed a fly when it went pass... The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

GGTharos Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 It should stay exactly as it is until there's better modeling of a shockwave. Frankly if you don't get hit, you're probably not close enough for buffeting. When you get a near miss from a SAM do you feel like the game physics and or cockpit camera do it justice?

Whatever it was it doesn't have a proximity fused warhead:music_whistling: On the subject of realism..I got hit the other evening by an SA-11...head on ( I think)....the resulting shock it gave me was enough to make me fall off my chair!! The flash, the explosion the noise, then the pause as your spirit leaves your body...then you are out of your body looking down on the flaming wreak that was once you and your Hog! Then you see the rest of the battle as a spirit of yourself...now thats what I call a simulation and probably as close as you get to the afterlife.

Depth Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 I like to see how well I can control the plane after getting hit, I almost always have to eject but I've never sat in the plane going down just for the hell of it [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Baggy MacDouche Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 One time I got hit by a SAM and it took off half my right wing and right engine. I was able to manage it back to the airfield, land(gear still worked), and taxi clear of the runway. That was FUN! I also think I lost a few pounds in sweat. :) Corsair Graphite 780T / ASUS Maximus VIII Hero / i7-6700K@4.5GHz / Corsair H110i / 32GB DDR4 PC-2666 / ASUS 1080 Strix / EVGA 850 Pro / Samsung 950 Pro M.2 SSD / Win10x64 / Samsung UN48JU7500 4k / Logitech G910/933 KB/Headphones / Razer Naga Epic Mouse / MFG Crosswinds / TM HOTAS Warthog / HTC Vive
Frostiken Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 Funny thing is that sometimes when you get hit bad enough the game will report that you're 'dead' because your aircraft took what it believes to be irrecoverable damage. Then you give the finger to the game and decide what is irrecoverable damage yourself :D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Rdiehl3 Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Near miss? Think about it "It was a NEAR MISS".... It should be Near HIT... If it was a Near miss you would be hit already bc it did not miss you! lol
OutOnTheOP Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Meh, could go either way: either it near(ly) miss(ed), or it was near(by, but) miss(ed). Popular convention: it was a miss (that was near).
