David, I really hate to disagree with you, but I just tested the b-Beobachtung round. Using just the b-Beobachtung load, and limited to very short burst. The Rotol, Spit 1, Spit 1a all three pilots bailed out all most instantly. Maybe your issue is an on-line problem that the devs could look at. I think you should test the round as I did in off-line mode, just so that you can confirm my findings.

hey slipball!
no no no...no problem and good that you tested it yourself!
but,...before i posted this, i tested it offline to make sure its not only in online mode...and theres another strange thing,...offline the damage model seems to be indeed different to the online one(but that could be because of AI flying differently)

but, i shot at spits with only B-Beobachtung, and the spit didnt show no damage whatsoever, except, that the tailwheel catched fire...so the stupid AI bailed as well pretty quickly!BUT: the game didnt recognize the burning tailwheel as any damage, and when the spit went into the channel, the game message only showed that it crashed...(note: that was after i had shot a continous burst of about ~10seconds bullseye)

and this seems in fact the only visual damage the b-beobachtung is now capable off...no real damage whatsoever.you wont see any other damage.
plz try again,...im pretty confident that you come to the same conclusion!

PS: did you make sure, that you really have only B-Beobachtung in your belts??did you make your own mission for it, to garantuee not to have a wrong loadout?

EDIT:
slipball you are right this time!im right now uploading a vid....its really really strange...im not crazy and i know exactly what a saw the last two days...now i wanted to prove that im right and you are wrong, and the vid im now uploading will prove that you are right

the problem seems to be another issue...maybe a bug in the loadouts itself, that it gets too confused when you change types too often???i have no f***** clue whats going on there.
i swear yesterday B-Beobachtung had no effect at all neither online nor offline
the vid comes in a few minutes.

...here is the damage shown seems about right for the ammo used, although when pilot hit the ground, no on screen announcement

Hmmm..going to checking this out today..

Ive scored multiple kills since the RC was introduced but I cant comment on this thread, When I hit the Enemy they normaly dive pretty sharpish for the deck which most of the time I dont follow so not to sure how much damage Ive done exactlly..

What I will say however is that all the ammo works as it should OFFLINE so as the OP has suggested this could be an ONLINE bug

David198502 · #7 10-06-2012, 09:31 AM

ok the vid is still uploading....

now the problem is, that i know, that yesterday B-Beobachtung had no effect,...im 100% sure about that.

but now im really confused why it was not working at all yesterday, neither online nor offline, and today as i made the vid, it took me about a minute, and the first spit i shot with only B-Beobachtung, went up in flames...really confusing, and there seems to be another problem...there is a bug, but i dont know which one...

I see many 109 burning and killing the pilot, but fuel tank never explodes anymore. Also if the pilot noses up befor they die, and the dies and respawns then the attacker doesnt get credit for pilot kill. Just says the pilot been killed

With alot of dewild ammo this is how most of my kills are happening now.

I know you are a good flyer Macro but DeWilde was in short supply. Historically you shouldn't have more than a single gun loaded, maybe two if you're lucky.

Anything more is non-historic, but that's your choice of course.

The common problem for the Hurricane was that when the wings were hit there was no bulkhead between the wing and cockpit, so fuel would just pour into the cockpit floor directly. When it caught fire the pilot was literally sat in a vat of petrol (100 octane of course.....).
