Planes that dont have DMs (static)


Recommended Posts

Posted

Ok so a couple months ago. Tempest attack on Rhineland.  Strafe German planes. No damage indeed I see dirt kicked up where the plane is 

Yesterday Stalingrad map.

Platzstaffel Pitomnik stukas.  Attack Aiffield. Strafe enemy planes.  Dirt pops up - no damage registered.

Can this be looked at please?

I have no trouble destroying any static A/c. A short accurate burst and they explode.

There was a bug I thought that had been fixed that solved the invulnerable parked aircraft issue in the Career mode. Maybe it has reoccurred.

Don't know how it works now, but static displays had a level of hardness from the mission builder.  Playing old Coconut at times you could pop them with a lite burst of mg's, and others it would take multiple 20mm hits to get the same effect for the same targets.  All dependent on the statics settings when the mission was built.  The difference between wiping out a dozen or more on a single airfield raid, or dumping your whole ammo load to get two if you were lucky, it was that extreme.

I’d also post this in the Technical and Bug Issues forum section, if it doesn’t get moved there first. You may want to submit a ticket on it too.

I think so. I remember what youre talking about re: the bug. The tempest was a little while ago. This was last night. And..

I know I didnt.  The tempest awhile ago it was a airfield attack. No aeriel resistance. Used the entire ammo load.  Dirt splashes are a dead giveaway. But fine it was months ago

 But second time otherday... you know how I know?  I was flying VERY low used ALL the p47 ammo (with extra rnds) AND saw the dirt splash up *through* the German a/c models.

(I had this plan to do p47 career switch to a 38 squad after 5 missions or so and then slog to a p51.  Well I realized I was insanely out of P47 practice when I had 2 prop strikes... off the ground.. (where I kept flying and broke my engine..) in 2 missions.  Yes both were iron man and required a career reset.   The 2nd was the incident we are discussing.  The last run I literally bounced my plane off the ground I was getting so low and slow trying to hit the planes from any angle.  I got fixated becayse the anomaly.

This makes sense. But theyre def not registering because I see mud spray up thru the ac model...

Explosives seem to work.  I strafe trains.  Hell im sure if I "squirted" at each a/c and flak didnt ko me some airplanes would blow.   But somethings up.

As above, it is likely a server side setting as opposed to a bug.

SP or MP?  If MP, which server and mission?

SP career mode BoBP

Tempest was the airfield directly north of Antwerp

 

P47 the airfield right by Aachen

Again it seems to be strafing.  The tempest cant carry bombs but the P47 I dropped 2 500lbers on my initial pass.  Those destroyed several parked aircraft at that field.
