planes with wing missing still fly

[daliborsky]

right wing on P-40, Jak-1b and Il-2  shot off, but the plane just banks 90 deg on missing wing and contiunes flying.

screenshot?

it banks 90° and still flys? For 10 seconds? No really a video of screenshot (rather a video) would be good. If you didn't know: You can record tracks ("Lctrl + R" by default I think) and rewatch them under 'recordings' afterwards. You can then screencapture from your recording.

I loose my wings quite often in dogfights, and always crash. So a short vid would help.

There was a video a while back from an older game version that showed a P-40 making a controlled landing with a great deal of one wing missing. Not all of it, but a significant chunk.

 

Yes, it happened in real life.

 

Yes, it happens in the sim.

 

Does it happen too often in the sim? I don't have any statistics to back it up, but it sure *feels* like it happens too often in the sim.

What the graphics show and what damage the FM are experiencing do not always correspond  (although there have been some improvements from early RoF days)

 

It is an issue which can easily be fixed,

however there is a penalty in considerably more 3D and coding which will have effects on cost and development time

 

unfortunately there is always a balance of what is possible and financially viable for the customer and Dev

 

It is a rare (but glaringly obvious issue sometimes) problem and has been shown that it did happen IRL, but as said, more than likely less than we experience

 

hoping for some improvement as the 'game' matures

 

of course I may be wrong and the whole thing is just 'porked'
