Poll: Should guns jam? (with some degree of historical accuracy?)

[Lusekofte]

I simply do not trust the parameters on witch those random failures would be set. Personally I have quite enough of frustration. 1 wheel out in the snow and the plane is stuck =restart . neighbor plane groundloop and you loose a wing= restart. You change bomb load and take off then notice you have no bomb= restart Then you get vulch= restart and then, crap you have to go to bed. If you put more failures in , you will find yourself well not doing what you came for

Cannot vote for any of the choices due to the fact that to do it 'right' for all weapons would require such a huge amount of research (and in game testing) that it could not be cost effectively introduced for the gains in realism it would give...

 

To 'half' do it would either lead to even more pointless 'bias' arguments on whichever side, or bring frustration due to half 'baked' simulation...and where would people even find the graphs for compulsory weapon damageFM talks? 

 

80% of people would want to turn it off anyway for real life reasons as in above posts

 

In a theoretical "Star Citizen funding" world I would say, Go for it! (as an option)

I would like to see them implimented, but have them be something that would be optional, either as a server option, or in single player a difficulty option.

Thinking about it although I personally would love that it sounds like too much trouble on a widespread scale and ultimately as discussed before the German and Soviet weapons were very reliable so the impact it would have in this game is minimal and not worth the effort.

i think gun jamming engine failure and random explosion should be set according karma points given by things as vulching kill stealing etc

 

 

 

That would be kind of interesting.

It certainly would.

 

Having given up BoS MP after being team-killed three times in a week by Yaks while trundling along in my bomb laden Lagg, it would be satisfying to know that the guilty individuals were suffering constant gun jams, burst tyres, overheating: perhaps even simulated dysentery......

Regardless of reliability, at least German fighters had a feature that automatically Re-charged jammed guns (pneumatically or electrically). Certiainly a useful feature.

 

Was there a similar Re-charging (unjamming) system in Soviet fighters, too?

[216th_Lucas_From_Hell]

As far as I know Soviet (and some American aircraft that operated there) had manual systems for that, in the form of the handles you can find in the cockpit linked to the nose guns. Some of these were mechanically-operated, while others (La-5 for example) had mechanical and pneumatic reloading systems. The P-39 had a reloader handle for the MGs and separate charge ejector and reloading for the M4 cannon.

Thanks Lucas! It would be nice to have these systems modeled, with their pecularities of the individual aircraft.

And in the Il-2, it has a set of four "piano keys" on the righthand side - one for each cannon and machine gun.

Funny - I thought they did in BoS when you tried to fire under excessive G.

[Crow]

I thought that is what it means to check the "misfires" option on the realism?

 

I don't know for certain, but I was under the impression this meant engine misfires.
