MeoW.Scharfi Posted November 4 Posted November 4 (edited) We really need to talk about the Damage Model state this game is. - german MK108 does too little damage - P51 is wayyy too tanky - So are La5s - So are Spitfires(except the lucky hit to break its elevator) - P39 37mm is way too weak - 109 Wings became too strong - IL2s are waaaay too tanky - various 20mms are way too weak and the list goes on.. Can't be that I am the only one being burned out spending too much ammo on enemies 37mm HE against IL2 on multiplayer 20mm vs IL2 Yes those planes were meant to take punishment but this is too much.

Roland_HUNter Posted November 5 Posted November 5 I've been talking about these problems for years, but nothing. I even sent a track file back then.😕 1 1
Aurosa Posted November 5 Posted November 5 (edited) Only when flying the IL2 itself, you get to understand how good it is, and I can say it not only as a pilot of one, but also someone that tries to shoot them down in BF 109, for MK108, most of the airplanes can still keep flying while getting hit numerous times, Normandy is the best place to test it, and that made me question effectiveness of this cannon. Before using 30 mm, I thought I'd be blowing targets to pieces in the air, but most of them seem to not be affected in any way, especially P-47, which I have encountered the most often. WWII German Mk-108 30mm Auto-Cannon Combat Effectiveness Against US Bombers and Fighters German combat footage revealed that it took 20 to 25 hits of MG 151 20 mm to bring down a heavy bomber, and 3 to 5 hits of MK 108 30 mm to take down a heavy bomber. MK 108 is underperforming. Edited November 5 by Aurosa 1
Bilbo_Baggins Posted November 5 Posted November 5 (edited) Mk108 makes a hole in the airframe and it continues on with impunity in this sim. The game modelling does not even remotely represent the damage the destruction dealt to an airframe with the weapon, yet we're being asked for track files, *sigh*😕. Could start by getting it in the ballpark first. Edited November 5 by Bilbo_Baggins 1 2
1CGS LukeFF Posted November 5 1CGS Posted November 5 Alright, we're done here. There is an established procedure in place to file a complaint about this sort of thing. Whenever someone wants to upload track files based on the current build of the sim in a new thread, I will be glad to forward them on to the team. Until then, no amount of YouTube video links or anecdotal accounts is going to change anything here.
