Shoot Out at BF13

[WilhelmSchulz.-]

Im crusing around in BF13(shut up I like it there) And 4 huracanes jump me. Now I just got the IX/3 coning tower so I engage the planes. As soon as I shoot 1 of them them down A WHOLE SQUARDEN OF HURCANES COME!!! By the time 1 was left flaming around, a squarden of Sutherlands show up. I shoot 4 or 5 down before I have to dive. I dived for 2 reasons, 1 I ran out of AA ammo, 2 another squadren of hurcanes show up. I said **** it and I dived. Final score, Bart Mancuso(my Captin)12, RAF 0(well 1 wounded crewmen).
8 Hurcanes, and 4 Sunderlands. http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

You spelt Hurricanes wrong.
You spelt Captain wrong.
You spelt Squadron wrong.
Conning has two n's.
Sunderlands is the correct spelling.

Strewth if you used all your ammo there must have been lots of them lol. Do you fire in bursts or do you just 'spray and pray'? I use bursts to conserve my ammunition.

I usually dive whenever I see aircraft due to the fact that aircraft do not seem to be as dangerous as they were in real life, unless of course I feel like shooting them down http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/784.gif .

I let my Flack crew do the shooting. And shut up about my spelling.

The way they are modelled in the game they are not worth being spelled correctly so buzz of will ya ! http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif hurracane will do just fine.http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif hi hi hi http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif yah, show some *****!

P.S. btw nice shooting Wilhelm!

[WilhelmSchulz.-]

Ok I hope you get out of that mood soon. Cuse its working. And about 1/4 thoes kills where made by the 37mm Flack gun.

[CannonFodda_99]

lol
Question: Can you get the 37mm rounds to explode when you man the gun? Ive heard people saying about how their shells detonate at a range like real flak guns?

Cannon

[Maj_Solo]

yes they infact do so, I posted my craaaaazy mission I did ealier, which I felt some booring people thought of either being a brag or me actually doing it as a serious campaign mission, anyways I fired more AAA there than I guess the sum would be of all the flak I fired so far in the campaign missions.

And there I noticed what you are talking about. At short range I never damaged them with the 37mm, and I didn't hit them either at long range, but the shell did explode creating this nice little black cloud.

I mean what the hell does that mean?????? is it time fuse or proximity fuse, I am no historian aned finishing my six pack so I don't have a clue. if time fuze then **** you need a direct hit for it todo any damage unless they managed to squeeeze in both time and proximity fuse in those small shells ..... hmmm.

I guess so small shells are what bigger fighters use, probably impact instead, ........... but going poof like that and creating a black cloud like that would perhaps ..... (taking a sip) .... indicating time fuse ......

I have a guess this is not a sim and neither "what you see is what you get" WYSIWYG.

The reason I miss with the heavy flak can be the low rate of fire and that I am a human behind a computer screen.

What is grinding on my mind is that it could betime fuse in which case it would be almost pointless to fire at short range which might explain why I miss 100% at close range.

So, "may the real Slim please stand up please stand up" and explain if the heavy Flak is modeled at least at least a very little bit corrrectly. cause if there is a time fuse there it can be set and yess I know there probably in't one ......


OK I stop writing, I know from previous months there are some guys here with book where this might be explained.

But I can testify those heavy flak shells go "poof" at great distance ....... so ..... the remaining question, how to use them to cause any damage. I just use the fine caliber cause of the rate of fire and how much the sim rewards when fine caliber from a single machine gun rips into a catalina.


And how little it rewards a strafing AI hurracane (I am provoking! BUUUURP), with 8 machine guns diving on the target.

If the sim was realistic, a we free french karleuns would yell "DIVE DIVE DIVE!!!!!!" if anybody as much as suspects there be any allied aircrafts in the area,,,,,, cheers!
