In IL2 you can cause as much as damage from a far distance as you do when close (provided that you hit). I think bullet velocity should decrease with distance and dispersion should increase. What about bullet drop?

I'd really like to see that test or the basis on what you make the assumption, that bullet-speed and damage done is not decreased by distance in IL2.

anyway, about that 4.09 release date.........

Well, I just observe that some guys shoot at large distances > 1500 feet and manage to kill your engine or to punch holes in your wing ...

I'm not sure what type of ammo is being shot at you but a cannon shell could still have lethal velocity (and damage potential) at 450meters (=1500 feet)...

I wonder why he stated distance in feet? You mean yards, perhaps?

Effective Range of a Cal.50HMG is stated with 1800-2000m. That is up to 6000ft and 2200 yards. AFAIK the range of an MG131 is roughly the same.

What does "effective" means ? The bullet reaches the target, the dispersion remains under a given value, the bullet can go through a given width of steel ?

IIRC the Cal.50 bullet in WW2 could penetrate up to 16mm of hardened armor plate at 600m. A while ago I also read a report from Janes about firing special AP-rounds being able to penetrate up to 1 inch of steel-plates at 2000m. It should be noted, though, that these numbers dramatically decrease, if the armor is angled.

The effective range is the distance where it can still be fired aimed and has a high chance of killing a person. Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Hathcock, who used a modified M2 HMG in Vietnam for sniping, engaged his enemies at 1500 to 2000m. His record was an aimed shot over 2280m.

Please, no one expects to hold more. We want a date certain. When will the launch of the BOB?

Merry Christmas...

Hi guys. Don't post often but visit every day, learn more than I could give etc etc.

Just had to give this two cents before I exploded - you can't keep things in, any doctor will tell you that:

'OH FFS CHRIST THIS IS THE WORST CUSTOMER RELATIONS EVER, CEPT DUKE NUKEM FOREVER, WHICH I WILL NOT BRING UP. FOR OBVIOUS REASONS.

I HAVE FAITH, I WAIT. I AM FULE?


*ah gasp* thanks, won't post for another 6 months or so.
