Damn. Didn’t know Gripens were shooting at strategic and tactical bombers with their internal gun.
That’ll be for ground targets and even then, only if you’re desperate.
What missiles, lmao, all my bombers were one-shot with missiles. Do you speak about the devserver, perchance?
I personally one-shot 3 bombers with bravy’s missile also, right after the update. My tu-95 was one-shot with missile two times, tu-4 suffered the same fate, il-28 - the same, yak-28b - the same.
im aware of that but why did they do it
everyone in their right mind should be able to see that this is neither realistic nor fair
;w;
ahh makes sense
this dude, people want things to be over as fast as possible.
i have been having a lot of fun shooting down bomber with their new DM in my inteceptors, really hope they keep like this, maybe make fire do a little more damage but thats it really
If his control lines were hit - he was gonna crash anyway, lol.
who the hell knows lol
it’s just stupid, we have unarmored windows stopping HE cannon shells now.
I know why. At least I can understand how this happened. Windows just are not separate from the hull cuz before the whole fuselage was made of paper, as well as these windows, lol.
They will separate windows, I hope, in next updates. As well as make modules more detailed.
He literally just kept flying straight toward my team’s airfield.
Right now in SB EC, there’s this ridiculous collusion going on called “PvE matches”, so I had to intercept them all just to discourage them from doing it.
Windows are already separated. They just provide huge protection anyway.
Really? Must’ve been an error then. Should make a bugreport.
Fast kanon
Gripens fasta beväpning utgörs aven automatkanon (akan). Det är en Mauser-kanon med 27 mm kaliber och ammunitionen utgörs av mingranater. På den tvåsitsiga versionen JAS 39B finns det däremot ingen kanon installerad. Kanonen används mot andra flygplan när det handlar om korta skjutavstånd. Den är också användbar mot mål på marken, som kan anfallas med hög precision.
Fixed cannon
The Gripen’s fixed armament consists of an autocannon. It is a Mauser cannon with a 27 mm caliber, firing high capacity high-explosive (HCHE ) shells. However, the two-seat JAS 39B version does not have a cannon installed. The cannon is used against other aircraft at short firing ranges. It is also effective against ground targets, which can be engaged with high precision.
There’s armored glass in the B-25’s tail, of course HE won’t penetrate it.
And the G5N has zero armored glass anywhere, and still did not penetrate. This is the case with most bombers, the only requirement is for the distance between the shell explosion and crewman to be far enough.
I was having greater success this week after switching to the 30mm incend on the 108s, in place of the frag. They’re both minengeschoss, technically.
Here’s the 8x ADATS thingy btw
Perhaps granting fuel-tanks and spars virtual immunity against blast-damage and fragments of essentially all aircraft-used guns wasnt the best idea.
And you can cope all you want about the 4 B-17s that didnt get blown to pieces, the others that did will certainly thank you for it.
MK 108’s (and like every other 20-30mm gun with HE/HEF-I/HEI/etc.) being incapable of penetrating the outer skin of an aircraft’s fuel-tanks with blast/fragments is just pure fiction atp.
Likely because the incendiary round in game is modeled as just an AP round, so it doesn’t fuse on contact with plane skin allowing it to go a bit further into the plane.
However nonetheless it still doesn’t make the MK 108 particularly effective. Since all it is in game is basically an AP round with a 10x multiplier for fire chance, the base fire chance multiplier will depend on damage, which itself will depend on the penetration of the round which is very little.
Compared to something like a .50 cal with far more pen, RPM and the exact same fire chance multiplier, it means the MK 108 incendiary doesn’t have much of an advantage in game.
From my searching the real life thing works by effectively blowing the nose and then spewing thermite in the forwards direction of the round. This is likely why the structural damage of the round was impressive, however none of this is modeled.
I don’t know, but the odds that I was taking at least some AP rounds is very high, I was attacked by at least 5 different opponents. I will post a link to a replay the next time I fly my B-25 👍
And I want to say again that it was an Air Arcade match. I don’t know if that makes a difference from Air Realistic/Sim. I don’t play Air Realistic or Sim, and don’t want to confuse anyone’s research here.
My gut feeling is that it’s a bug, possibly specific to the B-25. I am not 100% sure. Maybe I’ll try and find the replay for that match. I was extremely surprised that my tail gunner survived, all the way until I was finally destroyed.
idk guys, your 30MM,s might be too weak if anything and bomber not to strong
and now maybe use a 30mm that actually sees b29s or tu4s at least
