1C Game Studios LukeFF Posted February 27 1C Game Studios Posted February 27 Hey everyone! Today's blog is all about the shooting effects. https://media.il2-korea.com/news/dd_63 21 1 1
Aapje Posted February 27 Posted February 27 Love to see the effect of the tracer on the ground at night. I almost want to get shot at during the night now, to see how it will light up the cockpit 😛 1
YoYo Posted February 27 Posted February 27 (edited) Is it possible for news about each series to appear in the section: Announcements https://forum.il2-series.com/forum/18-announcements/ Even without comments, but so you can follow what's happening instead of jumping between sections on the forum. Take DCS as an example. There's a main section – the newsletter – where I know I always have news around 5:00 PM local time on Friday. Here on the forum, we never know where to check to stay up to date. Information about the IL-2 gets lost in the maze of social media news. Please think about it. @LukeFF?

LuftManu Posted February 27 Posted February 27 There is a huge improvement over Great Battles. The different sound are top notch from the cockpit to the exterior view. It's awesome! 1 1 Rig: RTX 5090 Astral 32 GB / Ryzen 9850 X3D /Gigabyte X870E Pro X3D Motherboard / 48 GB DDR5 Teamgroup 8000 MT/s / MSI 321 URX QD-OLED 32" 4K
Mohawk Posted February 28 Posted February 28 Well now , That is some Impressive Gun Blast Visuals and Sounds , I can tell I will be using a lot of Ammo , good thing we wont have to pay for Rearming .. 1
Mysticpuma Posted February 28 Posted February 28 Looking forward to seeing the smoke, fire and explosion effects. As this is moving on from BoX, I really hope we get some authentic effects that look anything but the current cartoon quality we currently have.
kraut1 Posted February 28 Posted February 28 (edited) Looks great!👍 Beside of the shooting effects I have noticed that some tracers were flying with perfect accuracy toward the target, no dispersion visible. In Great Battles this is similar. When you watch historical gun cam movies you will see very frequently a visible dispersion / spread of the tracer rounds. Due to this and because I wanted to reduce the probability of misterious head shots even during acrobatic manoevers I use since 1 year a small mod in which I have increased the dispersion for cold weapons to ca. 6...7 Mils. The effect is that shooting at unrealistic long distances is uneffective, the visible tracer flies with a visible dispersion towards the target and it is still possible ta hit even with a single 20mm gun at ranges up to ca. 300m. I know it's not perfect but for me it works well... https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/92101-question-accuracy-of-typical-ww2-plane-armament-machine-guns-automatic-cannons/ Video starts directly at the beginning of the strafing run, watch with speed 0.25...0.5 Note: in my BoB mod I have modified the MG151/20 to a MG-FF/M for simulation of a BF109-F1 and the dispersion was a bit more increased to ca. 8mils + lower rate of fire to ca. 9 rounds/second, but it is still possible to hit ground and air targets at realistic ranges.

Bell Posted February 28 Posted February 28 (edited) Seems no AN/M3?F9F-2 seems to be far away,and maybe Corsair,will they make Corsair with with Browning M2? Ok there seems to be AN/M3 Edited February 28 by Bell
Jade_Monkey Posted February 28 Posted February 28 (edited) Looking good, but there are some obvious issues with the flashes and tracers on some frames, which can be noticed. Is this final? Edited February 28 by Jade_Monkey 1
Mustang_Mike Posted February 28 Posted February 28 Looks like another Marginal upgrade, hardly something that couldn't have been added to GB? Tracers in Jade Monkey's screenshot above look identical to the ones in GB. And yet we're left in the dust with a "feature complete" game that they still try to sell us modules for... Are the 50s all still synced to fire together? Got tired of watching 109s fly through the gaps in my tracers in GB 1 1
Reisen Posted February 28 Posted February 28 I thought the effects looked good, but I'm more curious to see if .50s pack a proper punch this time. I feel like I'm shooting marshmallow guns with the .50s in Great Battles 😅 1
007 Posted February 28 Posted February 28 I hope to see the improved shooting effects (amongst other improvements) getting added to Great Battles at some stage!

That's not going to happen. Bugfixing and new content only for GB. 2

Please avoid making definitive statements about the plans of the developers. Yes, there has been no indication so far that engine upgrades for the new series will be introduced into Great Battles. But that doesn't mean we can say for certainty that none of them will. In this case it is probably quite unlikely, as I would guess that the tracers interact with the new lighting system and renderer. However, all we can say is what we guess is likely. Please be aware of rule 21: Guidelines - IL-2 Series Forum 5

Please be aware of rule 21: Guidelines - IL-2 Series Forum LukeFF has made a rather direct statement that there won't be new content for IL2:GB except for the new maps and any planes still in development: Quote at this point, GB is essentially feature-complete, save for the new maps and planes being made. I think this points pretty clearly towards the conclusion that, at least until further notice, none of the engine upgrades are in fact planned to be introduced to GB. 4

Make enough "marginal" improvements and the sum is a vastly improved experience. Judging on the fact that this announcement is the 63rd report on the state and features of IL-2:K it seems that not even the devs believe this is a headline improvement. Just another in a string of advancements For my own part I think this is a neat tweak and I'm looking forward to experiencing it 1
Dash,Polder Posted March 1 Posted March 1 (edited) Nobody noticed the terrain upgrade, Holy moly that looks spectacular, definitely has an Asian vibe going there. The river valley with the dozens of splits, forks, and branches meandering among the rocky eroded highs in the drainage basin looks absolutely amazing. That's definitely some major improvement over anything terrain wise shown before. Freeze it right on the 23 second mark and check out that valley. Edited March 1 by Dash,Polder 2 4

It is appropriate to link to statements made by the developers or the community manager as evidence for things like this. Speculation is also allowed (if it is clearly speculative). It is only an issue if people start making definitive statements without evidence. I don't want someone to see definitive statements without evidence being posted in spite of rule 21 and then be surprised if their attempt to do the same ends up being moderated or removed. I'm just trying to be as consistent as possible (maybe a bit too consistent). 18 hours ago, Bell said: Seems no AN/M3?F9F-2 seems to be far away,and maybe Corsair,will they make Corsair with with Browning M2? Ok there seems to be AN/M3 The Corsair variant has been announced to have 20mm cannons.

Why can't I state what the developers have repeatedly claimed? 16 hours ago, Avimimus said: However, all we can say is what we guess is likely. I'm not guessing. The developers have stated it. 16 hours ago, Avimimus said: Please be aware of rule 21: Guidelines - IL-2 Series Forum It is not at all clear that I broke that rule. After all, the rule only forbids false claims, unless you provide "hyperlinks or other facts." Firstly, my claim is not false, so that already means that I don't violate the rule. Secondly, I did provide other facts: "Bugfixing and new content only." If the intent of the rule is to require one to always prove that one's claim about the developer's plan is true, then that is not actually what the rule says, and it should be changed to reflect what is intended. But even then I wouldn't have broken that revised rule. 1

Yes, it's going to provide for some epic dogfights. 🙂
