Re: 50 cal guns in 42

I have not seen any tracers but then again my eyes have issues.
If there WAS tracers, it might help me a LOT!

Re: 50 cal guns in 42

you don't see tracers when you shoot it first person, but take a look when you shoot from 3rd person view...notice above the gun in distance you see the rounds....

https://youtu.be/YibSzV6UYlQ

take a look at what pilots see when they are taken on damage .. we review look to see that coming up from a general area they might be small but we can see them in the air....

Re: 50 cal guns in 42

Wasn't it like, obvious? When you see the trajectory of your bullets it means they are tracer rounds.

Re: 50 cal guns in 42

I don't mention names, but i was banned for 15 minutes because of an admin that doesn't believe that, he stated that he was on a standing 50 cal which i think he meant an outpost which i'm thinking he doesn't believe the tracers , well next map i mention i do notice that then i was banned.  I just want to prove my point, after many years, some us older players do know what we're talking about especially when it comes to purple frosted cupcakes!!

Re: 50 cal guns in 42

Even if there weren't tracers, being behind a plane is the most visible place for a player to be. When flying away from an area, a good pilot is looking behind them and only needs to concentrate on looking for more targets.

Re: 50 cal guns in 42

I found out the hard way from Russ that plane machine gun bullets travel
faster than Anti Aircraft shells. As soon as he comes in sight I fire up the AA and
he is deciding which machine gun, left or right to nail me with. By the time the AA gets halfway
there I be dead. smile

Stay hidden and out of the AA so it does not show occupied on his minimap...then after he makes his run...jump in and smoke him on the way up. tongue

yeh... umm no, that is if you're playing as !rear!

no one was on the 50 cal (or had been), never mind shooting from it.
It does make me wonder though why you feel you must lie about it.

So we're going to go into the lie issue again ... when i bomb that tank in front of the left out post on allied side, when i went straight up in the air i looked into my rear view like russ said above and notice 50 cal tracers following me up.  I went high and turn around to give that area a bomb, it was like 20 sec or so but you died and now  you wanted to start issues about lying you are 100% sure no one or no bot was on that 50 cal? 

That is fine Trojan, i'll start recording every game more and when there are issues arise,  i'll have the proof for you if you like, believe me i'll make you look like the new kid on the block.  You're good on the ground which i'm trying to learn how to play, but in the air, different story.  Its ok Winston, i'll do what i always do and have my proof, i love my game time flying and i'm not going to let one issue get in the way of having me having my fun.  BTW Trojan, I didn't mention names, was just asking statement and views from other BF players

PitViper knows how i fly, high and come down attack and leave a trail of smoke as i go back up.  He is correct above

There are few admins in Simple that them and myself don't see eye to eye Trojan, but they do listen and i do have alot of respect for them, I've proven myself but if i have to i'll protect myself from over self confident players.

For sure!  And none of this changing angles nonsense, are you flying a Spitfire or a radio controlled plane at the park?  Use front view only and if you start taking damage swerve violently in every direction until you lose them or crash into a tree.  That's the honourable way to fly.  That's how the pioneers flew.
