Does flak feel a bit more fun lately? :)

[[APAF]VR_Spartan85]

So since the latest update with explosions and effects...I feel smaller caliber flak guns can be fun!   And by fun I mean scary of course

 

I mean I’m loving flying hot on a target and seeing puffs of rounds going off around my plane..  perhaps it’s how mission designers have the AAA rates configured

..I just feel like it’s way more intense than before ... in a good way.. 

not impossible, just more intimidating when on approach...  which is good!

 

but anywho... whether it’s just a placebo effect on my side .. I still love it and thanks devs!

Absolutely! At times it seems like you're flying straight into a wall of Flak, helped by the fact that the explosion clouds linger for a while. I definitely agree it's much scarier than before.

 

Not more lethal though, so definitely a placebo effect, but still a great addition to the game!

Yes I noticed it also, I had not seen before the way those small caliber guns now seem to pepper the space with exploding shells, scary indeed, looks awesome though I have to say.

 

Take care and be safe.

 

Wishing you all the very best, Pete.

Just the fact that we have exploding shells (they didn't before) I think has changed the visual impact. Agreed!

Ok so it is new!  And that goes for some aircraft cannon rounds too ya?

 

in cliffs of Dover, the flak effects were one thing I liked the most and now it makes me happy to see it in great battles series...   also in CLoD the cannon rounds from 109’s would detonate in the air if missed their target..   
i saw this happen from some of my shots, can’t remember what aircraft I was flying but they must have been HE rounds of some sort...

I’m gonna do some testing and get back

I can't speak for the aircraft since I haven't noticed, but the AAA puffs were introduced in the last patch and are a really nice effect. It's a great way to check the AAA range.

Yeah, shells that have a self detonation timer seem to be working now. I thought they did before but maybe they weren't.

Yes the last few missions I played caused me to jump out of my seat whenever we entered enemy area or was about to leave one.
