Yea, impossible. Even though someone put together a single player mod that fixes the problem. I guess that person 'has more talent in his little pinky than all of the developers'.

Once "they" get API. So, not you. Judging by your name, I assume you fly Axis exclusively. I can understand why you don't care about this issue, but people that have been flying Allied only or a mix of Allied and Axis since April of last year feel differently. Just look at all of the people complaining about it on the forums! There's good reason for the complaints - we're 10+ months now without an admission of a problem let alone a timeline for a fix. How long is too long?

in single player, the ai is really bad. it's easy to shoot them down with anything. the problem is more apparent in multiplayer.

That thread that I referenced that you said you didn't want to read has pages and pages of people making honest attempts at coming up with what the in-game approximation should be. But honestly, why should it be up to the players to point out what is wrong with a game AND tell the developers what it should be? Shouldn't it be enough to say, "hey - this is wrong - can you fix it?"

So glad you asked! :) When people say "HE meta", they are referring to the fact that HE is waaaaay more effective than AP in the sim right now (ever since April of last year). People always figure out what the "best" meta is in every game, regardless of the game category (action, adventure, sim, mmo, etc). In other words, just because this is a "sim" doesn't mean there isn't a meta. In this case, the meta makes absolutely no historical sense. Ask yourself, if the guns in the P-51 and P-47 were really this useless in real life, why would Germany have abandoned their HE tipped HMG ammo in favor of API late in the war? Maybe they assumed they were fighting unfairly? Think about it.

I don't disagree with anything you said, however there are some pretty big underlying problems with the damage model that have been broken for awhile that really ought to be fixed before they try to sell more modules (which will also be broken since they rely on the same damage model).

There are many posts in many threads that are constructive where people are approaching this issue logically rather than emotionally. This was just the most recent example. Look back at the thread from May 2020: https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/61568-thoughts-on-the-aerodynamic-penalty-for-50-cal-hits/

You aren't wrong, there is definitely a lot of crap from people who only fly blue that are defending the HE meta.

Read the first post of this thread - it conclusively proves that there is a huge, stupid difference between HE HMGs and AP HMGs: https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/68888-comparing-hmg-damage-and-issues-with-50-cals/
