JG 53 Bomber hunting.

More SoW fun.

Another great session on SoW.

More Storm of War fun. If anyone’s on the fence about warbirds, jump in with both feet you won’t regret it. The SoW discord is also full of a good bunch who are happy to help. https://discord.gg/whjKGmPz

SOW fun in the Bf-109

Agreed, if you can’t low level bomb in the Mossie it takes the wind right out it’s sail.

Did a quick test to see what the 109 can do against the new units and I think the quad aa is bugged as invincible. nothing would knock it out, not even a 500kg on his head. In the end i got so brazen i clipped it and that was the only time it lit on fire. All other units took damage from cannon and mg but quad aa did not register a single hit of damage. So I ran the test with an A10c and it took about 400 rounds of 30mm before i could get it on fire which makes it tougher than a T55.

Now that APKWS is in DCS what are the chances of it getting added to the AV8b? I'm sure I read something somewhere many moons ago saying it would be considered if it ever got added.

Agreed. I fly on a server where MW50 is restricted due to date. The airframe now shakes when above 2400rpm 1.35 ata. Even with no MW50 I should be able to run 2600rpm 1.45 ata for 30 mins. The shaking is minor but in VR especially. I’m a dead duck without speed.

TRK SoW - June 18 1944 - MORNING v63-20200727-132129.rar

Bug still there and its not just ground units. I intercepted a group of bombers and none of them fired back at me. I even took off from Lessay and flew to an enemy airfield and landed. Nothing shot at me no AA, no ships and no ground units. My track files seem to big to post.

This server is the most fun I have had in DCS in ten years.

Me in noob mode. We all want more speed, more guns and more manoeuvrability. I just work with what I have.

The D9 does the same, sometimes the its shakes and you wings snap off and gear collapse, other times its so bad the plane just explodes when it bounces high. Nothing sucks more than nursing a damaged planes home just for it to self destruct on shutdown. Please fix.

June 6th would be a cool date to release it. Could make an awesome tribute video for launch.

Good news, thanks for swift responses.

I don’t mind the vibration if my plane has been damaged, the instant black out from the damage is more what I’m pointing out. It’s like the plane thinks it’s pulling huge G forces even though it’s not. I have done test after test and it’s the same you take a few hits the lights go out and you hear a noise as if you are tumbling very very fast.

After latest update the 109 pilot blacks out if the plane takes even minimal damage ( I took 3 hits from a half track ) I ran some tests in a simple mission and after the pilot blacks out the plane seems to be vibrating hard as if its pulling massive Gs but its flying straight and true. I even repeated the same test in a Spit and it took huge damage no blackout. To recreate just place 10 excellent A.I half tracks and over fly them in a 109.

Here is a longer one with better music.

You are confusing the Balkenkreuz with the swastika. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balkenkreuz

Yeah this is pretty essential to fix imho as it adds so much to the missions.

Did you read the entire article including the 1956 incident? The board of inquiry found he flew into his 20mm rounds. But if you did the math then ok.
