Just cause all you see is the tracers, doesn;t mean it's not shooting more

You do realise it's just a game, and there's only so much they can do. Anyway, just cause all you see are the puffs of smoke doesn't mean that's all it's shooting

look , test it out yourself , take a bf109 and point it at the ground and see how many times the bullets hit the ground , the only "real" bullets are the tracers. there are no bullets in between

I just checked with a spitfire.. and it is actually quite good. Only the cannons of the spit have tracers... so those are the only ones you see in the air.

Then I pointed to the ground and shot... seeing just dust comming up from the cannon shots...and not the machine gun shots. So maybe.. not all the bullets can been seen when you shoot the ground.

Anyways.. when giving one good burst to a plane... you shoot it down.. so the amount of lead that is in the game (visible or not).. is packing the 'same' punch as the 'real ' planes with the higher visible? rate of fire.

I think they maybe decreased the amount of vssible bullets... but increased the damage of the visible ones (according to the gunload of each plane)


I wonder what the devs have to say about it...

As far as I can tell only cannon rounds make the ground hit effect, since machine guns rounds are to small to register the effect.

the guns are harmonised so all the rounds converge to one place, hence the reduced number of clouds of dust etc.
in the game the range of harminisation seem to be varied so that its the range when the rounds hit the ground/sea.
