Considering the IL2 flys like a Fokker Tri-plane in WW1, these things are very hard to shoot down with a single 20mm. They outturn literally everything we have and soak up way more damage (even when aiming for critical areas) than they should. Give us a better fighter…190 A-8 would be nice. Or……………
Fix the damage models!!!
Think the devs will look at damage, but it is low caliber guns I’m the campaign which mean more hits required, but if you fire when enemy plane is full in reticle then open fire with cannons, mgs do very little… I can shoot down IL2 consistently now.
Same with some german fighters.
Today I shoot a Bf109, ran out of ammo 3 times. It still flying…
It’s just some plane’s damage model or hitreg problem.
The axis do have a viable fighter. The BF-110. Double 20mms take down IL-2s with no problem.
But just like all axis counters to russian stuff, it comes way too late after the thing it’s supposed to counter.
Never had that happen. Fighters tend to go down with no problems for me. Heavier aircraft, like the IL-2 or Bf-110 are the issue.
This game’s air combat has lots of bug.
I encountered:
no pre aim circle
pre aim circle is flying away
crash into the enemy plane, but both survive without any damage.
There must be some hitreg related problems.
That’s just the wacky UI. I myself haven’t encountered it and don’t consider it a problem.
Makes sense. If it’s just a light tap there’s no reason for tha planes to blow up. I’ve not encountered anything that isn’t normal with warthunders flight models.
Not really hitreg, I’d say it’s just that plane parts are way too much of a bullet sponge. Their hp needs to be lowered to match their warthunder counterparts.
HP doesn’t need to be lowered. I just want to aim at critical components that damage their ability to fly. IE: wings, wingroots, stabilizers….
Well you can aim right now, but since the components have enough hp to be basically immortal, it won’t do shit!
