I don't think a 100% of chance to be PK in the conditions I described is anything about realisms.

How many times have you repeated it under the exact same conditions?

If it's anything less than 500 you can take your percentages and throw them out the window.

100% chance of PK?

100% chance of PK?

+1

Dear Doggles,

If I show that a ceiling estimation of the chance to be Pk is 30% with absurd reasoning (I estimated that the enmy plane could each time hit the fuselage at 200m without taking into account the much larger surface of the wings) and explain that it has happen 3 time in less than an hour (this means simultaneously - I don't dye that much - in fact my death rate has skyrocketed since the introduction of the new ammo) there is something wrong.

reminder :
3 time at 30% chance means that I should have 0.3x0.3x0.3 = 0.027 = 2.7% chances to get killed that way 3 time in a row

Regards,

TcViP

Regarding the 500 times trial pls do the test with a coin toss. You'll see rapidly (at 5 to 10 try) that the chance even itself pretty rapidly around ... 50% ! Upon to you to tests it 490 times more

Don't tell me that you can target the cockpit of a hurri that cross your line of sight at 200m flying 400kph right at 90°

.... or I will call you a Texan

Do you see that fly atop the ridge right across the valley ?

What introduction of new ammo? The armor-piercing rounds have been in the game since it was released. Are you saying your death rate has skyrocketed since you purchased the game?

Coin tosses are completely unrelated to the percent chance of a bullet killing a pilot. Nice strawman argument.

And yes, I can hit a cockpit of someone 200m in front of me, if my plane is going straight, and you are curving your plane into mine giving me a flat profile! That's not a challenging shot. I'll probably also hit lots of engine, and fuselage, but would bet I've got plenty of bullets hitting the cockpit also.

It's not always the angle on bow of deflection that makes it hard, its the change in angle. Also, keep in mind, these cockpits are TINY, not like the huge American cockpits later in the war. Almost any hit on the cockpit should hit pilot.

Ahh there you are right. You score hits and some of them got in the pilot head.

The prob I see for now is that each time there is a hit the first bullet goes right in the pilot's head. Tht's not quite realistic.

@CheeseHawk : I suspect the so-called mine shed ammo
