    Re: don't

    so you are ready to go to tower because some "lucky shot" gave you PK from D7?!

    countering kamikaze style is server side problem: scoring and effective consequences of lame tactics.

    issue is in to-do list, however, since we came to develop this game.

    what did i just say?



    yes





    I have no recent memory of any complaints about long distance shooting and the shortend gunnery range has no historical backing, it was changed on a whim to "stop spraying". Making all planes shoot close to the same range is the equivalent to making the altitude limit the same for all planes so there is no "alt monkeys."

    I said it before and I'll say it again:

    Just because you CAN change something doesn't mean you SHOULD.

    you could join us late or did not noticed complains, but it spray-and-pray is an old problem, complained constantly several years and only now it found solution. despite there is no complaints in 2008 for you to notice.

    With Thug on this one; as a matter of interest what is the killing range of a 20mm humack...has this been limited to D6?

    Yeah, hmack is super affective. Too much affective. Specially since you can't see the tracers coming at you.:deal: :D

    i'm confused. probably 25mm was not limited.
    must recheck the range in the version.

    are you sure you was not killed from hmack driven far from field?

    100% not, only 99,99% ;)

    and there is still good chance that it was maybe net lagg :) but killed by jeep from d15-16 is quite normal ;) f.e. Drogue or Pasha are experts for long distances :)

    There was some discussion about the 50kg, is that going to be changed? Just so you know the 75mm has been affected by the changes and behaves like the 50kg(must be exact to hit targets)

    I have to admit that I shot the wing off a Ju52 at d17 once and only once. After that no one ever came that close again.
    So sometimes it doesn't pay to shoot at them too far.

    In 110 g2/r3, 30mm is on the "second" button, where should be smaller caliber.

    Another bug found:
    Sometimes when you are close to another plane you see that it has gears down when in fact it's gears are up.
    Dunno if it has been reported already.
    Tested today and I had my gear up while my squad mate saw that they were down.

    I don't have any screenshots, will make some if needed.
