Vastarien Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 This is great! But please consider new propeller effects too, as they are now they look ancient in comparison to the rest. 1
itsbillyfrazier Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 Great news and looks very cool. Exciting to see pictures of this new innovation and to read that you will continue to improve the DM as well. Top work as always Dev Team, I hope you all have a great weekend.

Q_Walker Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) Excellent work on the damage visuals. Also looks like the lettering/numbering system is coming along nicely as well. Looking forward to all of this releasing. Edited March 12, 2021 by =AW=Q_Walker 1
Avimimus Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 An interesting historical note: The CFS team and another developer had tried something similar around 2000 and people asked Oleg about this... so some people were asking about whether this was technically feasible twenty years ago - and now it is being realised! Pretty cool. 1 1

Algy-Lacey Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 Simply superb. I would never have guessed! If they have different hit marks for if the round is head on or a glancing blow, this will be hyper real! (They did mention ricochet AP rounds) If it's just circular penetration holes whatever the angle of impact (I'm thinking of a bullet coming from your 6 o clock hitting the upper wing surface for example) then it won't be as realistic but still it would be a good addition.
1PL-Husar-1Esk Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 WOW this is big move towards enhancing game immersion. Inpatient to see it in the action. Maybe someday particles would be cheap and we will see dynamic and real scale smoke and dust left behind destruction made by air and ground forces in the battlefield.
[CPT]Pike*HarryM Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 Jane's Attack Squadron had it, of course I guess the rest of that sim was pretty bad.
Freycinet Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 This DVD technology is pretty good, but I am disappointed that you didn't go for the much more modern damage visualization technology known as "Bullets Leave Unusual Ruts and Impairments" ("BLURAI") 8
BiggusDickus Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 Always happy to hear about DM improvements - especially if it pertains to more visually realistic 3D damage effects (similar to what Il-2 CoDB/DWT currently does). As an owner of ALL available Il-2 GB products, I'm deeply invested in this ever improving IP. 1
VBF-12_Sluggo Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 “New tech” DVD. Thanks cool, but I am waiting for the new VHS or Beta. I know these two technologies are similar, with one having mass appeal but the other having higher quality. Time will tell.
I./JG52_Woutwocampe Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 Great. The visual aspect of this sim is one of the thing I like the most, awesome to see that improvements are always on the menu.
CaptainFlemme Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 Wow it looks really good already ! It's impressive how far you've gone with IL2, congrat's to the team !
Mad_Mikhael Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) WOW! This is so cool! Edited March 12, 2021 by =LG=Mad_Mikhael
Psyrion Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 Sorry if it is in the DD and I just missed it. Will there be visuals for exit holes too? 1
354thFG_Panda_ Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 This is amazing. I never thought I would see this in this game anytime soon and in such high quality. Thank you Jason and team! 1
Danziger Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 These look very realistic. So much better than the decals. Really outstanding work as always! I can't wait to see a video of this in action!

Have a nice day. It says NOTHING in this particular DD about what I'm talking about FlyingShark: I'm not talking about the physical damage associated with the visual effects discussed here. Asgar (and those that thumbed up his snarky response): How about you actually read and understand the post you are responding to before you post snarky "smart" comments in response. There's a reason I tend to not interact on these forums much.....it's just too exhausting 1
Guest deleted@134347 Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 now this is a small step in the game development (relatively) but a giant leap in realistic presentation. My level of excitement this year for the game has tripled! Kudos, devs! The amount of time I'll spend on studying every hit/impact on the airframe post mission will be enormous. Seriously can't wait!!!
CUJO_1970 Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 Not sure people are really comprehending how big this is. This is a huge step forward, along the lines of pilot physiology. 4

RedKestrel Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 Looking forward to turning my foes into flying collanders and being able to video tape it. Or, more likely, becoming one myself.
-332FG-Eggnog Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 The three-dimensionality of those damage marks is mind-blowing, I have no idea how you're doing it. Straight magic. Beautiful work as always, thanks for sharing! 1
BladeMeister Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 I am happy to see this is in the works as I have NEVER(but never complained about them either)been happy with the damage decals in GBS. CLOD has always been the high water mark concerning damage effects displayed on most of their planes, but now finally it looks as if GBS may surpass CLOD and claim the crown. Keep up the good work Team and I hope that this new tech performs as good as it already looks without crippling the performance in sim. S!Blade<><

My take on that comment is they will have to develop those systems in more detail to enable physical damage to be modelled. "Please be aware though that this tech is visual, it doesn't affect the physical interaction between the projectiles and aircraft and tank parts or systems. We're working on the improvements in the physical damage system as well, but we'll tell you more about that later. " Edited March 12, 2021 by bzc3lk

Jade_Monkey Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 Wow, the visual damage looks really good! Both the larger tank hits as well as the smaller caliber hits on the Mustang. Sounds like it's a lot of work to implement though, very glad to see the team figured out a way to do it dynamically. Looking forward to experiencing it first hand in the sim.
=gRiJ=Roman- Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 I really like it. I see the next steps: choosing ammo belts and ... TC2. If they are going to implement this in the long run ... there must be a reason to be around that long, right?
