Bad quality was only way i could get this uploaded but this is clearly still borked and need fixing. Happens when hitting planes with wfrgr and 37mm (on the il2 and bf110) too. No plane should be able to survive multiple 37mm HE yet p38s can somehow take 6 or 7…
tier 3 planes will be immortal
it may be, but it is much better than having your wing torn off with few 7mm omni bullets while piloting a bomber - as in war thunder
(not to mention that war thunder instead of having realistic damage, just destroys the model as soon as it “wouldnt be able to fly” - in addition to ridicolously low hp on many planes)
That 37mm has AP ammo, soo it just flyies through.
Tbh i shot down planes now easily, today i used AA to shot down Hurricane and i didnt even need to finish that 10 round mag and he was going down without wing. And i never had a problem to shot down a plane with Me 110 after an update.
Also, on that gif you didnt hit him once with HVARs.
on war thunder many times even if you are “killed” but you are still able to fly and land at the airport you can continue without problems
that is the other side of issue
Fair enough with the AP rounds I didn’t know but I definitely hit the guy with at least one, on the second pair fired
It would be better that way (as in war thunder). it was shit back in the day when a single 8mm to the wing could down you but currently AA and fighters are still effectively useless in their dedicated so my point still stands. Plus, if your plane can’t fly in enlisted, there’s no point running it anymore, post people suicide so it may as well explode
NO, i do not want another 7mm of ultimate destruction simulator, this is enlisted not war thunder (and if you noticed, after applying just some damage to the airplane it will have lots of trouble to fly on)
if you want this, you can go back of war thunder - i played that game for pretty much time and can say that this mechanic is a suck
I’m not saying we should go back to that. We aren’t only limited to extremes - there does exist an equilibrium
My only advice is to just aim for the cockpit and engines specifically
Fiddy cals shred shit and should pilot snipe him pretty quickly
Though I haven’t had any issue downing planes on either side in Moscow or Berlin since the changes
Feels to me the plane models are pretty good right now. Only 7.62 / 7.92 ammo has issues, as it was in reality as well.
Funnily enough, i haven’t had issues with MGs, just cannons. Shooting down IL2 with stuka on moscow seems fine right now, it’s just normandy/berlin planes that seem fucked
