[Tobruk] Damage model - is that so really correct?

[KG_S_Kalle_Kalutz82]

Yesterday evening, I was on DangerDogz Tobruk Test server.

Everybody could only join the British side.

 

I only wanted to try out the Hurricane and got bounced by a Bf109 F-variant.

Off course I defended myself and went into dogfight with him. Beside that this was pretty intense and long lasting, around 5 minutes before I pushed the button "record", I managed to get a shot on the Bf109 with my 4x Hispano's.

 

His right wing was between 50-60% shot off....clearly visible.

It turned out, that we both did not had any ammunition left, so the Bf109 pilot was trying to ram me out of the sky.

 

I thank to all gods that I pushed on "record", because I could not believe it myself the first minute after he lost the most of his right wing.

 

How every can see, he is pretty good turning as his right wing would be still there.

So, some clearification for me would be good, because maybe I was not paying attention in physics back than in school?

 

The video is unlisted and will stay unlisted on my channel.

Four 20mm cannon are going to make a mess out of any aircraft... however, it is still possible for a damaged aircraft to get some lift from a damaged wing.

 

The game takes into account the loss of lift from loss of parts.

 

I suspect this is a visual anomaly with the damage shown not actually representative of the part which was hit.

 

The 109F has a small wingtip which if lost would not prevent the aircraft from flying.

 

There may be a bug in how the damage is represented when this part is shot off.

 

We will look at it.
