In DF Elite, I can hit the side of a barn. The only kills I have gotten now are when planes are very close.

What's different beside the planes are faster.

Any suggestion?

Im assuming the same as bullets. Gravity became a thing in DFE so there is a bullet(ammo) drop after a certain distance that needs to be taken into consideration. gives the game a bit more of a challenge I believe, took me a bit to get used to, heck still not 100% ised to it haha. good luck to ya in the future, hope this helped a bit to say the least.

nothing really, tanks bullets are the same since day one, you can upgrade them to go longer distances but they've always been affected by gravity otherwise a tank shooting straight even on df1 would had been a joke

I’m back to using my WW1 cow tank because I notice is not as big as the other ones so its harder to hit.

Same with me Sir Wumper... they don't make tanks like they used to. Why, when I was a young whippersnapper etc etc etc

It could be that is DF1, a shot if close, resulted in a kill and that now, it must be a direct hit.

Several times lately, , I was in a tank. a plane dove at me and dropped a bomb at my tank, it hit off to my left, but it destroyed me. It wasn't a direct hit, but close.

But when I shot at a plane from a tank, it seem that I must hit it, not be just close.

Zup, have you ever considered giving us the option of playing in a tank, instead of flying a plane.?

Could be a great addition to the game. Also, I have suggested before, give us a tank practice field, to practice shooting at other tanks, or planes.

Sir Wumper,

I agree. In DF1 I had finally gotten the hang of bombing with the smaller version tank. I rarely use it now and it appears, as you say, to be destroyed easily.
As Ace points out, it's easy to hit large tanks. I'm sure it will get better---till now, I'm in the sky!
