why is gunnery so much more difficult in clod than in 1946?

[raaaid]

thats got to be one of the things to love form clod but why is it?

Do you mean your aim isn't as good?

[raaaid]

no there are several things:

have you ever ripped a wing off?

also the rudder doesn work smoothas in 1946

i think having to put one thousand bullets in your foe is sadistic but hell its fun

its true...only a few times i managed to rip a wing off.and also to get planes to explode seems to happen only on very rare occasion.but its really nice to make planes look like swiss cheese until they are going down.besides it seems that im more dangerous without my cannons on my bf and only use the mgs.dont know why.

So you rather mean that the planes are stronger than in IL2?
I have no clue on IL2 since i didnt play it. But i agree. Downing a spitfire can be really hard. And vice versa downing a BF flaing a Spit can be even harder if your aim isnt that well. Spits ammo doesnt last very long and does not do that much of damage.

I'm finding it a little bit easier to get bullets on the target than I ever did in 1946. You're right that the planes are a little bit harder to kill, though. This is an improvement, IMO. I always felt the wings popped off way too easily in the original game.

Find the weak spots of enemy planes. Practise makes perfect

He is right. In the old game my aim was something of 12% accuracy. Now, I can`t hit anything, supposedly I can manage like 3% acc. The thing I noticed first is that the wings shake much harder than in IL2 while using the cannons.

Now, 20mm shakes like MK103 wingpods.
The good thing is once the cannon hits, it tears the plane apart. Huge holes in the Hurricane aswell as Spitfire.

Yeh I really like COD gunnery. I think the aircraft move less like they are on rails which is part of it. In Il2 it was pretty easy to perform high angle deflection shots where as in COD I get huge satisfaction when I get a good burst of cannon fire to connect. Even shooting from dead six seems harder.
