Renato71 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 How much diffrent will that be compared to FC / SU-25T In FC you cannot select cannon ammo as there is only one type - AP. Of course, I do not mean in-flight selecting! I would like to have an option to choose cannon ammo before the flight (in weapon loadout). Currently, you have to make a direct hit into designate damage box. Destroying trucks and jeeps is harder then destroying APCs. On the other hand, two types of ammo in FC could give you a (realistic) option to load AP for built-in cannon, and HE for gunpods. No more need for direct hit. AP cannon rounds are also major drawback in air-2-air dogfighting. HE rounds are more preferable against soft airplanes. There is also a problem with unguided rockets. In effect it is like those of smaller caliber are AP, and large ones are HE. Near miss within 5 m using 80 mm rocket produces no damage at all to a truck or a jeep. There should be at least 25% chance to create significant damage to a soft target. I hope there will be two types of ungidd rockets in BS. I also hope that precision of cannons and machine guns on APCs will be lowered, as there is no way they could track high speed airplane that good. And that "search" radar will be removed from Shilka and Vulcan. Well , will have to wait for episode "Dealing with AAA".

ThunderChief Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Just curious, how close has a HE round to hit to destroy a truck or jeep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGTharos Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 USAF seems to prefer depleted uranium - and quite rightly, since it increases round momentum. If you have enough kinetic energy you don't need explosives. AP cannon rounds are also major drawback in air-2-air dogfighting. HE rounds are more preferable against soft airplanes.

ThunderChief Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I know this problem from MSFS and I have TrackIR 4. I think that solution could solve the problem, otherwise you always would have to zoom in very close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feuerfalke Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Are you sure it is your TrackIR in general? I had the very same problem in different games. Whenever I looked at my instruments the sight started shaking or rather drifting in different directions. I tested it with the View->Tracking option in TrackIR and noticed that during play my seat position lowers, as I sit more comfortable. I have my TrackIR rotated 180 degrees, so when I do that, my Tracker only recognizes me in the upper 1/3 of it's field of view. The clip is still perfectly visible, but the head starts drifting more and more. I changed the position slightly, so it is rather looking down at me, but it fixed the drifting-problem. Don't know if that will help you, but the symptoms surely sounded 100% the same.

ThunderChief Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 The problem is that a switch can become very small (like 1/4 size of cursor) and then even very few shaking will become a problem particulary when you have to press that switch for some seconds.

burnzoire Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 (edited) I agree, it would be nice if the mouse cursor was fixed relative to the 3d space rather than head position. The momentary right mouse button is a bit of a problem with HOTAS though. You don't want to have to take up a button just to control your thumb mouse. My suggestion would be to make the cursor invisible after x seconds idle. When the mouse is moved (be it mouse or hotas thumb mouse) then the cursor appears in the centre of the screen, fixed to the 3d space of the cockpit. So when you're moving the mouse, your head can move independently whilst the cursor moves inside a sphere centred on your view. This should be a new thread btw, great idea PheonixBvo Edited July 16, 2008 by burnzoire [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weta43 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 What might be nice is having it referenced to the cockpit, but influenced to some small extent by changes in the helicopter's yaw, roll & pitch - so that with your head down you have some idea of how the aircraft is moving.
