Break from serious DM posts

All quiet on the Western Front.... except for cars being shot out of artillery guns.

This is a good chance to dive deep into the FM for the Horch830. Looks like it has a high Cd. However, it is very stable in all axis, throughout its flight trajectory. Wonder if the controls stiffen up while if flight, or only after touch down.

The possibilities are endless. Why not pilots shot out of Lewis guns?

 

Maybe the German machine gun bullets in FC have been accidentally given the mass of the Horch.  

[ST_Catchov]

Yeah I agree with the amazing possibilities you guys raise. A game changer? Possibly, but I think not. A source of amusement (us) and embarrassment (them). Definitely.

Sorry to pull you up there Raven. They don't touch down. They explode. Let me explain ….

 

The trouble is it's not realistic. Cars rarely explode on impact when they crash to earth after being fired from artillery. That is a Hollywood myth that has unfortunately been embraced by video game makers. For effect rather than realism see. It should be removed and never spoken of again. Perhaps they should be working on FC's DM issues rather than fluff like this?

 

I would hope @unreasonable backs me up on this with suitable certified bits of virtual paper with writing and figures on it. And graphs.

Is it just me or do crashed German planes sprout multiple engines after they explode?

[Zooropa_Fly]

I did notice something strange with a crashed Alby yesterday.

It looked like another engine was sticking up in the air.

So that’s the secret of the DviiF... magical German technology

A break from what?

[Garven]

That's up there with the time they had a mix up and swapped the engines between the La-5F and the La-5FN.

Spoiler

For those saying this is unrealistic this is what the devs have made, even if you feel that cars as projectiles are unrealistic until you provide evidence that explicitly states that cars were NOT used we have to assume that this is correct. If you fly correctly and stay away from anti aircraft it won't be a problem, if you are getting shot down it is because your tactics are wrong. You all should be happy that we have a sim at all, if you want arcade crap with real size projectiles go play warthunder.

 

Maybe the devs could add an arcade gunnery mode for the multiplayer whiners but please devs, don't change this just for the multiplayer crowd.

I'll give it a try, I hope it's different from battlefront 2 fighter combat.

I hate EA just as much as the rest of us (never forget Bullfrog), though I must admit that they've just released a stellar remaster of Command & Conquer and Red Alert, rebuilt almost from the ground up by the actual CnC community. Besides, they've been sitting on that Star Wars license for so long, they must know by now that there's a demand for an X-Wing/TIE Fighter remaster. Obviously you can't just do that because absolutely no one owns a joystick these days, but if you can turn it into something mouse/keyboard and console friendly (*cough* War Thunder *cough*), this may very well be a winner. Heck it wouldn't even surprise me if they actually add HOTAS support for PC.

 

All we need now is a Red Baron or similar remaster in the same vein.

Please stay on topic. Cars as projectiles in this thread.

A Joke @Tycoon.... I was a joke.

catchov, sorry to say this, but the parallel reality invented and perpetuated by Michael Bay is in full force, and widely accepted wherever you go, so much so that reality is taking 2nd place. This goes hand in hand with the ideology that any explosion you can walk away from is a good explosion and that one explosion a-day keeps the boredom away.

 

FC just needs more explosions, please ask Michael Bay, and please get inline with the new reality.

 

Anything unreasonable brings to the table, I can and will counter with a scene from a Michael Bay movie.

I'd like to submit a feature request for the Fokker D.VIIF Spandaus to fire Thoughts & Prayers.

I was actually pretty sad when I was reading the comments from some of the battlefront community ( I play a lot of that ) and it seemed the majority weren't happy about a game that was exclusively fighter based, citing things like "already been done it's an old concept" and, "Starfighter games have and will always have a lack of content", are you kidding me? the same people who play battlefront 2 where all you basically do is capture point A B C D E a buzillion times with different scenery are saying that? 

 

Not hard to see why all flight games have become nothing in the modern market, gamers just don't want them anymore, who knows why.

Special Lewis Gun canister equipped with "the brown note" ammo.

[Zooropa_Fly]

I think it's one of Federer's training aids.

It shoots balls across the net at him.

[CorvusX]

Because it was taken out of the game very fast,  I like to show a few moved pictures of the Horch in action and  say goodbye to it in an appropriate manner.

(was also posted in the original bug report topic)

 

 

 

 

For non German native speaker:

German: Horch was kommt von draußen rein

English: Listen to what's coming in from outside

Has anyone logged the multi engine ejection when Fokkers crash yet with the devs as a bug? It makes me laugh quite hard. Looks like the cunning Germans have stuffed 5 engines inside for extra HP

[No.23_Triggers]

Keep meaning to do it, but keep forgetting! It's pretty amusing - looks like every piece that breaks off the D.VII 'spawns' an extra engine
