images/smiliesForum1/HTML/001362.html [Aike] increased lethality of 20mm, especially for 2nd, 3rd etc objects pierced in the "needle effect". Totally "needle effect" numbers 5 objects. Gunstat reports only first object of the needle, other 4 objects are not shown. But these 2-5 objects plays dramatical role. Further, fuel tanks logic is changed. 20mm hit explodes the fuel tank with the probability 0.8. 7.62 and 12.7 must pierce the tank to leak, the fire it up. [Aike] flown with Yak-3 2 sortees, making 2 kills per each. Now the fighter could stand 4-7 20mm shells However you must fly and test.
Tks for the change, I think now it's much more realistic. What is the "needle effect" ? BTW, now I'm getting at least 2kills/sortie. [This message has been edited by -fla-- (edited 09 July 2001).]
the needle effect, by what i understood is, like, you shoot a 20mm in the aileron. the shell will damage the aileron and the wing, since it penetrates. though only the aileron hit will be reported in gunstat. and yes.. wtg!! oh yeah, and those negative holes in fuselage is a bug (according to rgreat), so there arent holes in the fuselage. dont mind about them
