That doesn't sound like a graphics issue, that sounds like a problem with the algorithm that determines where the guns are aimed.

Anyway... I believe shooting with your rudder is bad form anyway. Well not persé bad form but inaccurate nonetheless. So many things to take into consideration. Ussually you do a dirty rudder spray if you are about to lose your target. Better a badly shot dead target than a pissed target behind you.

Best way to be sure the bullets hit home is to step on the ball. keep the plane straight and use airelons and elevator corrections.

Maybe a tad of topic but thats probably why i havent really noticed what ya'll talking about here.

If the difference is due to relative wind speed you might be able to see the path pf the tracers curve. If that's the case it's probably difficult to spot.

You might be able to tell by comparing the offset at high speed to that at low speed.

It seems like it would be pretty tough to screw up the direction the guns are pointed, so this is probably intentional. Another way to tell is fire the He-111 nose gun offset to the direction of the aircraft.

If YOU actually read MY post you'd see why...

its not an assertion, because the bullets DON'T curve after they are fired... they fly straight as a freakin arrow... its the angle of the guns themselves... they pivot when you apply input to any control surface...

Im not going to repeat myself again... just re read what i wrote earlier..

...

after another few more dogfights im still convinced that its not just a graphic issue... I wish i knew how to post vids so that i can show u what im on about..

its really ruining any chance of precision deflection shooting. being able to hold lead on your target whilst firing is damn near impossible now.

And you need all the time on target as possible with these .303s lol

Sorry Biggs, you're absolutely right. I don't usually load tracers so I didn't see just how severe it was. (I just thought I was crap at aiming )

Best way to see this:
  • Choose Cross Country Quick Mission
  • Take a Hurricane
  • Choose Unlimited Ammo
  • Start the engine
  • Throttle up
  • Hold the gun button
  • Alternate between left and right rudder

Gunnery is hard enough as it is... This bug just makes it twice as hard ...

Its the most frustrating thing in this game to try and drag your fire across an enemy plane in a perfect deflect shot, only to have your bulletsswing wildly out in the direct of your rudder movement...Every rudder correction turns into instant OVER CORRECTION!

You end up missing the target altogether... Hundreds of bullets wasted.
