In the next update, we plan to significantly improve the airframe damage calculations ........................................................... And of course, we don't forget about the tank project. While Digital Forms studio creates the assault gun and the tank destroyer that are left, we added a long-requested feature - binoculars for the tank commanders. Other smaller, but nonetheless important improvements are on the way too. Take a look at the binoculars on these screenshots: ...........................................................

unreasonable Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 Binoculars that do not give the usual egg timer shape - well done sir! 2 2

kendo Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) Very pleased to hear the DM revision is so close. And the binoculars look great. Edited February 7, 2020 by kendo
Bernard_IV Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 Sounds good. The most common damage model complaint in the game is the P47.
Yogiflight Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 Very happy to hear about the binoculars, and as unreasonable mentioned great to have the correct view with one single circle. What magnification will they have? Also DM rework is always welcome. I can't wait to get my hands on the next update.
simfan2015 Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 Will be major improvements ! Those binoculars look perfect too. Thanks. 1

1PL-Husar-1Esk Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) This new DM would go with something new with visual dm representation to the current one or it's only the internal calculation? I ask If we could have different visual implementation of hit been done to metal parts of the FC planes - not the same wood shavings when you hit engine cowling or pilot cabin or any other than wood material ? This is present in FC two-seaters when you hit gunner scarf ring sparks are flying. Edited February 7, 2020 by 1PL-Husar-1Esk
LuftManu Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 DM improvements are really welcomed. May I ask if we get to use binoculars in some planes? did the crew carry them?
Luftschiff Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 Damage model and AI improvements are extremely welcome, always welcome! Binoculars on top of that? Sounds like a wonderful update en route, thank you for your hard work!
Jade_Monkey Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 Always a pleasure reading the DDs. The pace at which the team releases content and improvements is admirable. Great stuff!
Turban Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 Might be one of the biggest update ever ! You guys are keeping it real ! Awesome !

The only thing I had found about german WW II binoculars was, that they had binoculars with 5x and 6x magnification. Maybe a stupid question, but what about russian tank commanders, they surely had binoculars, too, didn't they?

6FG_Big_Al Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 Great stuff I'm looking forward to the improvements aswell as the binoculars
Yankee_One Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) Great DD! A Hip Hip Huray to Digital Forms studio binoculars for the tank commanders-- outstanding!! Nice sreenshoots!! Edited February 7, 2020 by Yankee_One

RedKestrel Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 But the real question...are we going to be able to hold the binoculars backwards and look at close by stuff and make it look really far away??? 19
Rjel Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 Good news on the damage model and AI. This sim has grown out of all proportions to anything I imagined it would become when we started here.

I use that tactic with a slight variation. When I see somebody chasing my tail I just hide under the cockpit. If I can't see him he is not there. It's not as polished as see them far away but works. 2
Matsy_fr Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 Hi! Binoculars at last! Nice! Just wondering if in the future there will be more option for quick mission tankwise: having tanks with you and or selecting tanks agaisnt you for exemple? Also, will there be careers for flying circus, because the Multi player looks prety empty and the lack of content such as career stops me from buying it, even if I'm quite interested. Thanks! Ps: Bodenplatte is amazing! 1 3

This is present in FC two-seaters when you hit gunner scarf ring sparks are flying. My impression of most combat flight sims is that the visual representation of damage always seems to exceed the actual impact. We get planes with huge holes, parts missing, smoking, and they are still flying aerobatics. I would welcome a review of visuals such that they reflect the degree of incapacitation in the plane, which IMHO generally means toning down of the visuals. 2 12

For sure, agree to that, I also would like to know -> see that my flying wire is shot off , but you have to agree that ww1 era aeroplanes are not all build from wood , but in preset visual layer of DM when they are hit only one visual effect across all body is dust and wooden derbits. I don't want radical change like canvas mapping or it ripping and fluttering on the wind. Edited February 7, 2020 by 1PL-Husar-1Esk

Avimimus Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 The damage model improvements are exciting (I wonder if they will impact the effectiveness of rockets)? However, I must say that the AI improvements are critical and it is truly exciting to see the constant ongoing work. The AI is the most important area for air combat, and the complexity/diversity of ground target templates is the most important thing for ground combat. Any improvement in either of these areas really enriches the game experience... much more so than a new aircraft does! 1 2
JG_deserteagle540 Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 Great! DM and AI improvements are always welcome!
danielprates Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 The binoculars news is only a seemingly small improvement; it is actually a big deal. The dichotomy between "have to look farther/have to get outside and risk getting killed" is half the challenge of being a tank commander.
Luger1969 Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 A small dd with a huge impact. And the bonus all the GB's benefit from bos to bon. That is also huge. The binoc are also great. TC is also constantly enhanced. Some of the inputs above are very good.
Lusekofte Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 Quote we plan to significantly improve the airframe damage calculations and the explosive and fragmentation damage calculations for all objects in the sim in general. More AI improvements are in the pipeline too - for instance, further improvements for the vertical maneuvering in a dogfight. We have found and fixed another possible culprit for the missing aircraft hit sounds in multiplayer. Great news thank you
