Pilot kill after pilot kill. How do they do it??

Cool, thanks for editorializing it as a magic bullet.

In any case, whether that ammunition was effective/available or not does not give solid evidence that it was correctly modeled as such in the game...and still doesn't give an explanation as to why/how certain pilots are able to hit ONLY the pilot from 200m+.

You have 2 choices:

1)Prove that they're ONLY hitting the pilot from 200m+

2)Stop talking

If you can't prove it, you're just another noob getting his wings clipped online, crying about cheats rather than learning to fly. So, once again, prove it or shut up.

Have you considered the possiblity that these guys are just really good, and you're just really bad?

You're a wonderful human being with fantastic qualities and deserve to be loved like anyone else.

I'll interpret that as you choosing option #2.

I applaud you for choosing not to continue smearing the names of good pilots simply because they are better than you, as it would seem some participants in this thread are content to do, despite not having a shred of evidence.

I personally find the "he killed me, he must be cheating" attitude to be just as pathetic as cheating itself.

Gawd..were not trying to remove ammo now are we?

S!

Ze-Jamz..you said it out loud. Just wait for the Purist Battalion and their funny sidekicks to march in and demand it On a more serious note can't the servers restrict loadouts like in IL-2 1946? Would solve these fantasy beltings etc.

I recall asking this to be added as a server side options and was imediatly jumped on looks like I was correct after all.

P.S. I use a (for the most part) historical belt in my aircraft

Salute

1. The SmK (H) Tungsten round is clearly causing an ahistorical imbalance, since it makes the E-1's weapons more effective than the E-3's and E-4's, not accurate representation of the real situation.
2. The round was in very short supply, its not even listed in the game as part of the standard E-1 loadout, unlike the Dewilde Inciendary round in the Spitfires and Hurricanes or the M-Geschoss in the E-4.
3. We don't have an accurate determination of exactly how good this round was.

I am not raising an issue about the M-Geschoss, that was clearly part of the battle, and an real indicator of which direction the Luftwaffe was taking its air to air weapons program in 1940, ie. towards 20mm weapons.

I'd be happy to see a server with historical beltings, including restricting the British to limited numbers of DeWilde rounds.
