Love the hispano rounds but hate the default ones. I believe it depends on when you start the campaign, mine is in 1941 and only the 7.7mm are aviliable. I hated them too, but they just take some getting used to, soon you'll be downing bombers like nothin. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

They do at least become less dangerous. On 11/6/2020 at 8:47 PM, airacobrafan said: Interesting, have to try again for more conclusive results. I completely agree on the ever-present issue of bullet sponge 109s as long you use machine guns... well small MG did require a lot of hits to do the job in reality, and they still can set fires and that's why as war progressed guns got bigger boom , booms 🙂 Still be nice to have more ammo options in game. I think planes like He111 will be more likely to "fire up" just because there is a lot more fuel in the planes that will leak and potentially catch fire than smaller planes like fighters.

=RvE=Windmills 335 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 By the way, about the fatigue indicator. We decided to heed the popular request and add a G-load induced fatigue indicator to the simple instruments in GUI. When you set the difficulty to “Normal”, you will see a small white triangle in the lower left corner of the G-meter in the GUI. The more your pilot is worn out by the G-forces, the smaller this little triangle will become. Thus, it will give you a rough idea of your current state. As I have repeatedly written on our forum, a real pilot cannot predict in advance what Gs he can sustain during the next maneuver and for how long. He, of course, roughly understands how tired he is. Therefore, this indicator will give you only an approximate idea of the current physical condition of the pilot. When you set the “Expert” difficulty, you will not have this indicator. So I don't really understand the difficulty option for the stamina gauge. So in expert my pilot has a perfect idea of how many G he is pulling, but he does not know how tired he is? I don't really understand why this is restricted behind a difficulty option (and separated from the G meter). You should always be able to know how tired you are. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Flynco 22 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Hi, I ask for the possibility of being able to choose the skill of the pilot (of our aircraft)( not AI) from beginner to medium and expert in such a way as to first reach the limits of strength G endured and fainting. To simulate the progress of physical improvement as it happens in real life and increase the involvement in the simulation Bye Link to post Share on other sites

Absolutely, in fact, I'd happily argue that we should have it the other way round. We should know how fatigued the pilot is, but not know how many G's they're pulling exactly, maybe keep the bar as a rough guide and lose the numbers in expert mode. With regards to what people are saying about the .303's you really do have to riddle the important bits with fire, it's certainly improved my aim somewhat.

Mad-Moses 39 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 My findings... G-Modeling; I like the changes. It feels more realistic to me with the 'accumulation' effect so this changes the tactics in a heated dogfight to some degree. Seems like you can make a more aggressive opening maneuver but you can not sustain what many would consider to be unrealistic maneuvers for any period of time. Well done, I applaud the changes. 👏 Sound; I quickly scanned through all the replies in this thread and I have not seen mention of the external sound changes with the patch; namely the engine sounds... WELL FREAKIN DONE! You can't hear enemy engines (like the Tempest for 30km away) closing in on you anymore. A move towards realism and fair play. The most important 'fix' in this patch in my humble opinion. 👍 ... going to have to check my six a little more often. Other sound changes; the wind shudder when you are pushing the air-frame too hard seemed a bit harsh from a volume perspective at first but really like it now. The heavy breathing... well, I got to say it might make me a little uncomfortable if I had it on speaker and my kids where nearby... j/k 😝 Well done guys. I would love to see a couple other things addressed in the future but I won't mention it hear as not to feel the wraith from Mr. Williams and his green post reply.

When I finally got the shvak I felt like God. If devs going to add tiredness bar i hope they won't add another separate indicator for it, instead they could just add circle red bar inside G-indicator! But even now it's ok, you can assume by previous turns and greying effects how tired you are and even IRL i guess pilot can't know excatly precise how tired he is and how his body is going to react to additional G-forces. Maybe it would be more unrealistic to have that bar than not having it 🤷♂️ Link to post Share on other sites

True but when your life is on the line you can reach deep inside where you didn't know it existed and "survive the un-survivable". Tales abound of people lifting very heavy objects off people to save their lives, running farther and faster than they ever thought possible, live days beyond what is considered possible in the desert, survive falls that normally kill. Like the human mind, the human body is capable of exceeding it's design limits, at least for short periods of time. Edited November 9, 2020 by Beebop Link to post Share on other sites

I agree even you missed the point i was reffering to (wasn't talking about that), adrenaline does miracle but not every situation is like that....anyway there are two sides of every coin and realism aspect is sitting on a thin line, in some areas you gain realism while in other you loose (when it comes to pc simulation). At some point we have to stop asking and be happy with what we have otherwise it's never ending story! Edited November 9, 2020 by =VARP=Ribbon 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Caudron431 243 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 After playing a bit this week end i must say i have never seen anything like the new pilot physiology in any sim. It is fantastic! The visual impairement and the physical effects on the pilot are outstanding: you really feel that your pilot is exhausted and getting sick . Immersion is now way beyond any other sim, as far as i know. Thank you so much 1CGS team: i never expected that a sim would go so far in immersion and in simulating what hard maneuvers can do to your body: IMHO You just realeased one of the finest addition in the world of WW2 air combat simulation. It is revolutionnary! Just WOW! 2 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites

I am not too sure about this, how about all aerobatics pilot that have blacked out and lost their lives? a close friend blacked out in an F15 doing dogfights, and woke up diving at more than 700mph towards the sea, ejection seat saved him, still lots of broken bones and the legs has never been back to normal, combat is just not planned and its improvised , you dont know what the enemy is going to pull next and you try to follow if attacking or evading if on the defensive, like we have in game, blacking out just happens.

Cleo9 41 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 (edited) I'll probably make a Borat out of myself, because English is not my first language, but here are my first impressions about the good old Hurri, in career mode. I have started 2 different careers, BoM and BoS. Moscow is frustrating; the .303s don't pack much of a punch, but I did get one kill after a few missions. Now... When you fly BoS, you have the option to modify with 2 BS and 2 ShVAK; they deliver, believe me, it turns the Hurri into quite a beast. Ammunitions are few, you have to get close and personal, but you will shoot down those F4. Edited November 10, 2020 by Cleo9 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

An F1 driver lives training, its well fed, and rested, unlike a WWII pilot, plus a car is very different than a plane have you ever seen a F1 driver blacking out? Some aerobatic pilots have blacked out and paid the price with their lives. Edited November 10, 2020 by SCG_motoadve 5 Link to post Share on other sites
