Weapons effects not matching hits?

Okay, that is good enough for me!


S!

Lately, I've been doing a lot of La5 flying off line against 109s. I can assure you there is DM and FM modeled when I'm hit. I see and felt both...... all too often. Way too often.LOL

You're also less likely to notice this packet loss if you're coming under a hail of hundreds of bullets from 8 machine guns From one or two cannon with low firing rates and which only happen to land a single hit, you will notice right away when something's wrong with that hit.

You can also see this effect when one guy collides with you, yet keeps flying, unaffected.

I wonder if the extra information being transferred with the new patch could be pushing already marginal connections "over the edge" to packet loss. I'm not even sure if there is all that much difference. One thing for sure is I've seen very strange things online plenty of times before. (this is one of the reasons I take "cheating" reports with a grain of salt)

Edit: Damn good point Luno!

[T}{OR]

I should think not. All the above mentioned I have personally witnessed many times online. Offline is the way to test it.

I flew i bunch of quick missions a couple of days before and managed to break an 109F4 in two with just two-three hits from a La-5. This happened a few times in a row so i made a track to show my squad mates for a laugh.

This is just an edited pic but i have the ntrk for it:



I'm not one to whine, but the La-5 series weapons always seemed somewhat strange.

Yeah, and they give me a feeling that they are made of titanium. 1 MK108 hit is usually not enough to take out their combat ability.

Any cannon armed aircraft can do that to the earlier 109s. Spitfires, Yaks, La... I did it 109 versus 109 to similar effect as well Some planes (and models of planes) seem more likely to loose their entire tail. The F6F Hellcat is another...

I flew the Spit against the same 109F4 a lot more then Lavochkin and never noticed this effect (remember, i'm talking 2-3 hits only). I'll try cannons only with Spit / P-400 to see if the Hispano does it as well.

If you're going for the effect with the Spitfire... try and go for the "perfect" convergence hit on the tail section. I see it less with the Spitfire as I'm usually inside my convergence distance quickly and I end up shooting the wingroots. But... perfect convergence on the tail and off it will come. It's just easier because the La-5 has two 20mm cannons mounted very close to each other.
