Cockpit view of enemy replay with aim assist

[Fern]

Make it possible to view the enemy cockpit in replays. I dont care about what exactly they're looking at, I just want the reticle with the option of seeing the aim assist as well. Dont say it cant be done.

[=TBAS=Sshadow14]

what aim assist do you mean? this game has no assistant features like that afaik

Also Flight Records are not like a video and a true recreation of how it actually happened.
they are inaccurate and change each playback slightly.

There is aim assist. Go to quick mission. Custom settings.

Either way, I'm afraid one would learn nothing from watching a track from another player's perspective. In multiplayer, that is.

 

 

This is because the game computes ballistics on the client's computer. (this is called "client side hit detection") That allows you to fight an opponent with an unknown ping without having to adjust your aim to allow for network delays.  In practice, it means that if your bullets hit the target for you, then the server will "take your word for it" and make those hits count on the other player's side as well.

 

This explains why you often see players firing at awkward angles, with their tracers missing their mark, and still scoring hits.   The issue is that on YOUR computer, he may have missed.  But the latency between you, him, and the server makes for a slightly different version of events on each side.   So you see him miss, and he sees a hit.  

 

The server gives the shooter's version of events priority in deciding what happens.   It then informs the victim of where he was really hit, and the damage which results is sent back in turn.  That is why you often see rounds impacting, and only a few moments later smoke starts coming out.

 

This is also why many times you have a player survive a collision and another explode.  In practice, these mutual-cause events are decided almost at random, depending on uncontrollable and unknowable network conditions. (ping, mostly)  Thus while one player might have collided, the other was able to dodge in time.   The server has to decide for one version of events or the other, and there is no correct solution to such a problem.   

 

You will always have at least one side (often both) going "What the hell just happened?!" and most likely deciding the results were totally unfair and quote: "Bullshit"

 

 

There is no solution to this, besides moving everyone together and having a massive, never-ending 24/7 LAN party.   Obviously, this must be urgently arranged.

 

 

Nevertheless, the OPs request can indeed be done.  Though it would only serve any real purpose in single player.

I really dont care about where the bullets are hitting. I just want to see where the red circle is in relation to my plane and the red crosshair on their reticle. 

[Bullets]

why? 

[Fern]

Because I would like to see who's aiming at that little circle

[Bullets]

Only way would be fly against someone you know, get them to have the "aim assist" setting on and get them to record the flight and share the recording file with you for you to watch back! 

 

I can only assume you want to use it to know how far to lead your shots in front of a target? That only comes with time / practice and becomes instinctive after a while

..or just watch videos made by good shots.  A girl called Arianne Scharfi is pretty good at deflection.  She has posted 'Ace In A day' 'Ace In A Flight' videos for just about every aircraft in BoX including Ju87, Hs-129 & JU88

He specifically wants to see shooting / aiming in relation to the aiming help circle, at least thats the gist of what I got from his posts   

[Fern]

I'll just say, to help spot hackers. Granted you really couldn't prove it, but it would be a nice tool to have regardless. 

[AndyJWest]

A tool that encourages you to make accusations you can't prove is worse than useless.

Not "Ace in a Day", Ace in a Flight! Which means you take off, shoot down 5 planes and land, This in only one sortie/flight. That's why i post the stats of the flights, too.

 

Anyway thank you^^!

[SCG_Tzigy]

Scharfi is da bomb. Wish her, Drifter or Riksen to be my escort/fly CAP on TAW all the time.

Sorry.  I knew they were all done in one one sortie and I just mistyped.  Doh 

[Bullets]

Only managed to do ace in a flight twice from memory, 1st time in a Spit staying down low and then 2nd time was surprisingly easy in a 190 just bounce after bounce   

[MeoW.Scharfi]

Impressive I normally go home after 1 or 2 kills if I am in a fighter as I still need to work on being conservative with ammo/ lead shots better and usually run out...
