Cheating already?
 

Ok what im not going to do here is mention names cuz i dont know facts though ive always wondered why this person racks up kills very very quickly with hrdly any losses...Ever so here goes...

flying on Repka 1 earlier and i see a 109 pilot kill spits with what seemed short bursts..i mean short bursts as in hardly any tracer..no flames,no smoke and both were pilot kills..

I know this because same 109 (or same markings and skin) shot me too with a pilot kill on a merge, no other hits that i heard, no tracers that i see..only a merge then...pilot kill

Now this person is either a very lucky shot, OR im not seeing or hearing tracers and dmg (though i do any other time) OR something fishy is going on.

Its just pure luck that i happen to see this twice in 5 mins then it happen to me 10 mins later..no other AC involved before anyone mentions that.

thoughts?

I dont know the situation (track would be good next time), but this fact: much more vulnerable the pilot, like Il-2. I like the aimed, short bursts, and most of my kill are PK.

somebody shot me in such a way yesterday that I did not hear shooting. I flew with 109.

Probably someone who spent all this time flying instead of hanging around here. :-D

Aoutsch, that hurt :-D


Honestly, if he used only guns, it would have been diffcult to see the tracers (compared to cannons+guns)

And, if he uses guns, he will make a PK in 90% of the cases if he aims correctly.
P-40 in IL2B did the same if you knew where to aim.

Just assumptions.

Well, it is not so hard to do pilot kills with MGs loaded only with tungsten carbide ammo, especially now, when E-1 is available.

Especially if there were no tracers loaded at all.

Fair enough

I thought I read somewhere that the HE stuff is crap. So I switched to all AP type ammo. I have not encountered a real pilot but the few AI I attacked have resulted in a dead crewman every pass. The AP loadout is far more effective than having HE in your belts.
