Damage model corrections and additions

[69thSpiritus]

Currently we are testing these corrections and additions to the damage models of the aircraft. 

 

The Spitfire fuel tank rarely caught fire before, due in part to some coding errors. We have corrected this but also added the 3mm thick metal plate that surrounded the fuel tank which was also missing in the 3d model hitboxes (for the Ia/IIa). With these additions/corrections, you still shouldn't expect to see tons of Spitfires dropping out of the sky in massive balls of fire.  

 

We also went through every aircraft's (flyable and non-flyable) oil and water systems and added missing elements. This is being tested but looks promising so far. There were a lot of missing elements of the systems for many aircraft. The Hurricane had a complete system, with all hoses, pumps, tanks, and rads having hitboxes. We used this as our game example when making additions to the other aircraft, which were done with aircraft blueprints, pilot manuals, and system schematics/diagrams.

 

A handful of aircraft had complete systems already, but quite a few needed major additions, including the Spitfire and 109. The list of aircraft that needed corrections/additions are:

 

Ju-87

Ju-88

He-111

Bf-108

Bf-109E

Bf-110

Do-17

Do-215

Fw-200

Spitfire Mks

Beaufighter

DH82 Tigermoth

 

Here are examples of the two most popular planes. Objects in blue are existing, objects in red have been added which were missing and now form complete oil/water systems.

Very nice information thank you for sharing, I always wondered about the ineffectiveness of some of the hits.

That's a very interesting update.

Metal plate is only for the late spit right? Or also for hurricane?

[69thSpiritus]

Metal plate for the later Spit models, Ia and IIa, not for the I. 

 

The Hurricane is being checked now. We'll have more information soon.

Ok thank you for the reply

[Jade_Monkey]

Cool!

MAYBE Maddox Games decided to don't use hitboxes for all pipes, hoses and structures to sabe resource, and emulate protection around some structures, and Hurricanes have more hitboxes because If it's construction? 109s have some pipes with hitboxes, so, I don't know if they just fogot to model the rest...

Yes, the Hurricane fuselage tank had this 3mm plate. It has been added to the 3d hitboxes.
