A very annoying one.

Never heard of this one....

It will also be a good thing if we see planes actually go down when we have riddled them with bullets...

If we get the Patch Monday...I will take Tuesday off to have some fun with it... I expect it to come with a readme this time...

This subject is very interesting to me and I spent a few hours yesterday experimenting with it. The very best that I was able to do was bring down a Rotol with 3 AP bullets, that hit from the six low position. I was working on to improve my hit average and to conserve my ammo, that instance was 47 or 48% .

Here is a one AP bullet kill

Guess I overstated my thought...... Many do go down...Occasionally planes do catch fire, blow and lose a wing... It is the ones that seem invincible, take alot of punishment and keep flying while looking like swiss cheese...
Nice Job on your kill... A Golden BB

Fighters a bit more consistent in going down when damaged than are some of the bombers...

@ MegOhm

its like anything else in life, some rules and preparation must be followed and done. Placing yourself in the right position and above all, placing the shot.

I take wings off bombers no problem with a short burst at the right spot.
With Standard loadout and convergence in a Spit IIa.
Most people try to shoot from dead astern and centre line.. That means your loading the fuselage and parts of the wings with hits but nothing structural that will bring it down.

20-30degree diving attack angle aiming for middle of wing at 250yards does it every time if you hit the right spot.

I have an awful feeling that we will be told the patch is not ready today, I hope I'm wrong but I just got that feeling. Anyways, lets see if my feelings were right 9 hours from now

The farce is strong in this one...

I wouldn't be too concerned if it didn't get released today, If something else comes up it's for the best not to release it.

Cheers!

I wrote the above back on page 14 before I went to work, I wrote it Monday morning at 5:14am and my prediction came true. What I didn't expect though was to hear no news at all after all the hype from B6. I see that he has since posted to say that he was ill and that's fair enough, but why not use this opportunity just to say a few things about the patch aswell after the hype?

If your taking off bombers wings every time with a short burst from a SpitIIa then something is very off with the DM Phat, that should be a very rare occurrence indeed.
