[QUOTE="shogun00, post: 281587, member: 1729"] This all depends on setup. Being a pinball machine owner myself. I can tell you first hand that both tilt sensitivity and the force needed to nudge can be adjusted. It's up to the operator of the machine and most of them are going to make them hard to nudge and very easy to tilt. For the tilt/warning, there is an adjustable device called the [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Vtd5wKh7JA]Tilt Bob[/url]. The closer the Bob is to the ring, the more sensitive it is. I have mine set farthest away (low as it can go) from the ring. I literally have to shake the machine extremely hard to trigger a title warning. As for the force of the nudge. Raising the levelers as high as they can go will make the machine super easy to nudge. It doesn't matter if the machine weighs 300lb or not. I think the video that Spoonman posted did a good job of shooting down your point. Also, the floaty ball physics in PBA can be replicated on a real machine by giving the playfield a fresh coat of wax. You'll be amazed at how fast that ball can go with a fresh coat of carnauba wax.
