Sitaro Posted December 30, 2021 Posted December 30, 2021 After all the work on Normandy is done. The priority should be actually fixing the ammo belts on the American planes to represent API. Actual incendiary rounds. It is my understanding that 777 did not originally model the ammo, someone else did. But at this point, I think people have been punching usless holes in the axis planes long enough. People pay good money to support the projects. I do not understand why giving them what they pay for is such an unreasonable request. They dont pay to get the axis planes and the American are just thrown in for free. Some of us actually buy to use the American planes. So please, I know it is a bitch load of work. I understand the original modeling does not support the incendiary rounds. And I know it won't be easy. But I also know a very large part of the allied flyers will be extremely grateful for the effort if this can be done. I can not tell you how many times in my profession I have to go back and fix someone elses screwups. I know it is never fun. But it is something we all must often do. 1 2
Denum Posted December 31, 2021 Posted December 31, 2021 They have intentions of revisiting the damage model, I'd love to see API More internal damage AP rework More skin damage Engine damage made a bit more realistic But, Let's keep in mind they have alot to do as it is. DVD on old aircraft Tactical markings on all aircraft Finishing Normandy Finishing Normandy aircraft Air Marshall And a handful of other things. Trust me they know. 1 2
Sitaro Posted January 1, 2022 Author Posted January 1, 2022 Well, I honestly was not sure. I asked as respectfully as I could while trying to make my reasoning understood.

Not to forget, there still is no complex fuel management and drop tanks. On 1/1/2022 at 5:16 AM, Sitaro said: Well, I honestly was not sure.

But there still are some long awaited things in the pipeline. 1
Sitaro Posted January 15, 2022 Author Posted January 15, 2022 Considering I purchased the game for the American aircraft, other than the Normandy stuff, the rest could wait. I didn't buy it to get handicapped planes due to dev screw ups. 2

Just simply that I can get a really good deflection shot or even a really good burst from behind, and all that happens is a coolant trail. No real damage. the enemy will still have insane rudder authority, easily climb with you, and do the spray and pray and catch you with a single HE round. Then my plane is unflyable. There is no modeled cables in the planes, no hydraulic lines, nothing to damage with AP except engine, pilot, and rads. And wing struts. So by time you've inflicted enough damage to get the enemy down, 5 others are there. At the same time I see so many people comment that German HE rounds don't have enough filler, don't frag enough, or the velocity is to low. I just want to laugh in their face because at least their not stuck with crap AP. Buying for the American planes was a waste of money. Because not only did I need to pay for the game, I actually had to build an entire new PC that would run it. And I get crap AP.

I don't have bullets but my plane sure looks pretty. Not needed, skin your own markings. Air Marshal, honestly, meh. who cares if you don't have bullets to shoot with. And the DVD, if I understand correctly, Again, just a visual. who cares if function is not there. Looks great but doesn't work correctly.

Second, do you honestly think the Devs working on DVD/markings are the same guys working on the damage system? Third, 'Murica If you just want to see USA superiority, go watch a Superman movie. Fourth, API won't change the fact that HE is the superior ammunition. Fifth, if you can't shoot down aircraft with the US planes, it must be because you're missing. Sixth, I want it all and I want it now. 1
MisterSmith Posted January 16, 2022 Posted January 16, 2022 There are multiple threads on the subject. It has been addressed by the Devs as to the complexity of the problem and their desire to solve the technical issue when it fits into the roadmap. Not only is this a willful duplication of the topic in general, you have also duplicated the topic yourself with "Getting Sick and Tired."
