Aircraft Damage Model

Me, being an absolute lover of Close Air Support (especially in War Thunder) wanted to try some of that in Enlisted. Played some rounds on the Hs123 and the Stuka. It feels nice and all, but there is one serious issue: What in the heck is that damage model?

Seriously, one enemy plane took a shot at me, I heard the bullets grazing my plane and there was barely any damage on the bottom left display. A very slight yellow on the right wing root. But guess what? The plane started to fall down like a brick. Controls went unresponsive. I couldn’t pull up or defend myself whatsoever.

What is this? Do the aircraft guns have like poison damage that paralyzes the enemy plane and renders the control surfaces immediately useless? There wasn’t even noticeable damage on the feedback. Every run I do, whenever my plane gets yelled at, it stops working completely. And whenever I hit an enemy plane, it’s the same. They just start falling down like a cut-off kite.

I do hate being bombed to oblivion and I think planes are in a very powerful position atm, but the damage model is very silly. I wonder how the heck this made its way past Alpha.

I’ve emptied belts on my BF110 to enemy P38, hit markers all day long but his engines are just smoking a little bit, but he’s still flying and outmaneuvering me. Maybe a high level player with maxed out plane, idk. Sometimes I get a rifle bullet or 2 from the ground and my plane falls down like a brick. Damage models need a little work, same for tanks and their ammunition. But still I love those 100+ kill CAS games

Damage and flight models are horrid.

CAS is awesome when you get to properly play it. But dogfighting is utter shit with these flight and damage models.
