Olham 164 Posted December 12, 2009 Don't hate yourself, Widow, cause then you would have to hate me, too. How often do I miss obvious things in front of me on the screen. Sometimes I want to chopp my useless head off! You're not alone, m8. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Siggi 10 Posted December 12, 2009 I've done it a number of times in the WS, and with just about anything else visual where's there's a data overload.

Hasse Wind 46 Posted December 13, 2009 Speaking of the actual buffeting effect, combined with setting the main guns to less accurate in the workshop, it makes shooting down anybody MUCH harder. I've been testing this in my current French SPAD XIII campaign (early 1918), and now I really need to aim well and also be a bit lucky to bring down anything. I haven't tried a really nervous crate like the Camel or Dr.1 with these settings yet, but I imagine it will be much more challenging than with stable fighters such as the SPADs and Pfalzes. There are reasons why every pilot didn't become an ace in the Great War or shoot down 30 planes in 10 hours, and this improved wind effect brings us one step closer to experiencing the actual challenges of the early air war. I recommend everybody who wants a more challenging and humbling OFF experience to use these settings in campaign mode. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted December 13, 2009 Yes, indeed, Hasse Wind - Creaghorn will love that! I tried the new Fokker E.V in a QC last night, and it is as agile and almost as nervous as the Dr.1 - very hard to hit someone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do better with the 2-gun Sopwith Triplane, I've managed two kills and one damaged so far, I think due to the guns being closer together (concentrates the fire more effectively). I think the N17_Lewis is gonna suck donkey balls. I too believe it will enhance the realism by putting a brake on high kill numbers per sortie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hasse Wind 46 Posted December 13, 2009 I think the N17_Lewis is gonna suck donkey balls. I just had a quick combat with a Nupe 11 against a couple of Eindeckers flown by expert pilots. Getting hits was really challenging. And having less than 200 rounds to feed the Lewis ain't helping much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted December 13, 2009 Amen to that! Even with two guns, I couldn't kill more than two SPAD VII in my just made sortie, plus damage a Nupe 17. Maybe the "twin Spandaus rule the skies" time is over? Or at least restricted. I think it's better this way. The sortie was intense, and concentrated, and fun.

von Baur 54 Posted December 13, 2009 Curious, is there any buffet from nearby AAA bursts now? If not yet, is it something that may come out in the next edition, or at least somewhere down the road? Or is this something that just isn't going to be possible given the CFS3 core? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fortiesboy 3 Posted December 13, 2009 Well, a slightly different opinion as to why the planes are taking a full mag to go down? This latest version has reverted my version, which used my DM xdps, back to the devs idea of DM. Even if you didn't use my DM xdps or Prop- Wasche's, I would have thought it was easier to kill the EA in this new version,( in QC certainly ), because they fly a lot less aggressively. As it happens, i quite like this less aggression, because before, against more than one EA in QC, it nearly always happened that one of the EA got a couple of bullets in you- and then you were toast.- just with a couple of hits. Now, with the ability to retreat when damaged and try a landing - ( no sudden exit ) one's being hit doesn't mean inevitable death. All in all, so far, I like the add on - (wind effects, engine sounds gradually coming in etc ) I can always change the DM a bit later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Polovski 460 Posted December 13, 2009 Wind effects your aim now, as does less obvious huge visual clues at mega range - these combine to give a much more realistic feel to kills. DM is generally easier with fixes as per other thread. Some with wrong DM could have some odd parts tougher but generally they are all were they should be now.

All in all, so far, I like the add on - (wind effects, engine sounds gradually coming in etc ) I can always change the DM a bit later. My stats show my best hit-% so far is 20%. That's roughly 200 hits out of 1000 rounds fired. And that was spread over six planes (only two of which went down). I don't think the planes are too tough, it's just hard to hit them well. Which is nicely realistic in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
