So you're saying it doesnt take 30 cannon rounds to kill someone now?
Updating!
WAR THUNDAH
Yeah, you have to be a bit more careful not to stick your neck out as much with fighters. My only complaint is bombers are so weak now that it's quite pointless bombing, also its more difficult to actually hit anything with bombs.
If you just want to shoot people down it's still a fun game, if you enjoyed bombing and doing stuff that actually wins the game, it's a bit $#@!ed for now. Who knows, they'll probably change it a couple more times in the next little while. I can understand Viscur's standpoint, he's put several hundred hours into Japs, they don't have much for cannons, anything without cannons is pretty useless.

Well, they're trying to make realistic FMs and DMs* but the problem is they gave everyone a goddamn mouse and lead indicator to aim with, so its like how can you miss. Put that on top of the insane amount of gunnery practice any player has over real pilots during the war and you have your current predicament. The Luftwaffe in WW2 estimated itself as having an average accuracy of 2%, and that includes against all the heavy bombers. Even accredited aces missed horribly planes at point blank range (100m and less). This is what happens when you make it too easy to aim

That's another story, you can try lobbying for like half weapon's damage or something in arcade. Remember this isnt "complete", walking away from everything because you dont like it has always been far less productive than reasonable discussion.

I am always late to parties.
Both my sons are playing this, so I have a 'bot' for my Vortrog account, and my elder son plays as Storm092.
Level 2 at the moment. Had my first night on it last night. Mainly realistic on Bulge in the He112 flying air cap for Bf110's. I ran out of ammo trying to down a Russian bomber with the 7.9mm mg so longing for cannon upgrade.
Fun game. I never got into IL2 but this has me hooked. I just hope the econ, research and levelling thing keeps the playing field semi level in each tier and they dont allow paid players to dominate through their wallets instead of skill.

Oh certainly. Some of us still play War Thunder... although we all play Arcade.Vortrog wrote:QUOTE (Vortrog @ Jan 16 2014, 12:17 PM) I am always late to parties.

If you wanna take out bombers with just machine guns, take out the bombers engines.
I fly sometimes but only FRB (simulator mode now).
I could use a wingman.
But tbh if you get upset fast (and want to fly a fighter plane) don't play simulator mode if you don't have: trackIR, very good machine, very good joystick, at least ''22 monitor, money for premium. Most of the time you'll just get knocked out of the air ( like I do
).
