Can anyone help me with this. So I’ve got to grips with flying, bombing, rockets etc but enemy planes seem invincible.
I can follow them for a good amount of time firing the machine gun right at the AND getting the hit markers, but I’ll run out of ammo before it goes down! Even if it starts smoking it seemingly still lives forever.
Where as if I take hits I’m down in no time, or even the pilot gets killed almost immediately.
Rear machine gunner also seems to do very little for me but yet they seem a nightmare to face.
Am I missing something?
This might help, was going to add to it, but some advice, ignore controls bit if on PC…

Dont wory Its not you. Some one posted a Vido finaly abought the dam plans not acting right. Although its not the Germen 109s FW or BF110 Its still on point what I been saying exaly. Thers noting your doing wrong and all just keep doin what your doing till they fix the isues. Or even if they fix it.

Perhaps the delay it occurs between reality and what u see ig … bad rate causes bad hitreg but its cheaper so more money
Well if that was the case why dont it efect every thing from tanks to trops them selfs? even the JU188 lol
I mean hell JU188 shots plans down in under a second at times. But All alie plans seem to down Axis on normandy with alsmot no isues. Only after seeing that Vidio It seems 109s FW and BF110 arnt the only ones suffering. One thing I also notice is our MGs rifles and even SMGs can kill a plan with no isue making me beleave its the code with how the plan gun damage is being delt.
All plans use 30mm 20mm 13mm. only the ME110 has the 7.92 and I have no use for that any more then I do for the BF109 G10. So I dont know abought the 7.92
Now when it comes to the JU188 it has all that but the damage works wonders. Leaving me to beleave the plans are messed up other then the JU188. My main kills in JU188 is the 20mm.

Oh i remember trying that plane for 1st time also in a match and same thing happened to me, got so mad that i emptied entire mag into a junkers and didnt shoot it down.
Next game tried aiming at the wing, so that 1 of the cannons would hit the fuselage and killed the guy with like 2 bullets. Extremely janky.

Haha good one - I’d happily accept that if it weren’t for the hit markers
Well, actually hitreg is trash. White markers don’t mean that you’ve actually hit the target. The server may have a different opinion.

People say that the only issue is that you don’t know how to aim, you’re firing from far away etc.
But to me something feels off - too often I can get behind IL 2, lower speed and unload full 20mm mag into it at point blank without getting a kill. In Warthunder I would rip apart that IL with initial burst.
Hit markers don’t tell you anything about the damage being done.
20-30mm do heaps more damage than 12.7 or 7.92mm, as it should be - flying a Hs-123 or Ju-87 in Moscow and trying to shoot down a Il-2 you can take 2-3 ammo loads with nearly constant hit markers. But flying Il-2/10/La-7 in Nerlin the 23mm’s are lethal as heck.
US .50’s are better than 7.92 of course, but in Normandy you can still fill a 110 or 188 with an ammo load and not see much effect.
One thing you can do with US planes is shoot at engines and set them on fire - that gives got ha noticeable effect and almost always a kill in short order!
I dont go by hit marks O see the damage being done on plan wher im hiting and wher my tracers go. Why I have some what controll over wher my JU188 rounds go.
Yep. Gajin wants you to play War Thunder. Thats where planes belong
