Damage Model retuned... I have a Question

[Saintaw]

I know that the Damage of Big guns (or Bombs) and those smaller ones have been reworked.

A couple of times, I noticed that Dropping 2 X 1000lbers on the Vehicule Hangar won't work, sometimes it will...(Yes, I hit it spot on!)

What does it take "in the New Book" to get a VH blown ?

PS: I also blew 2 FH's with 1 2000lb Egg at once...but I think that one was hit before by someone else...

Thx in advance.

Strange things going on here. Using a Seafire I was able to blow the two large towers at an HQ today with ammo to spare. Ack it put up was REALLY light. Took two hits, losing my flaps completely. OTOH, I couldn't blow the VH ack at P-21 with guns. Had to blow it using a pair of 1k bombs.

flakbait I have a theory about the ack...

I don't think it's really any lighter.  I highly suspect that HTC decreased the number of tracer rounds in the AAA to help the framerate problems, hence the AAA LOOKS lighter.

also when the server is very busy it seems to suffer packet loss i think.When 1.05 first came out i bombed a factory with 50kg eggs and noticed that the hits were either registering as normal or destroyed message was very delayed and once or twice i saw the crater near the objects(acks/fueltanks) and it didnt seem to register at all,
At first i also thought that my 190 cannons were much weaker when time and again shooting the acks had no effect.Packet loss? I still cant be sure whats going on but it does seem a little strange,

Same happend to me on a "fresh" field, ie to my knowledge I was first there for some time.BTW on another field, still fresh, I got radar with a 50 lbs.A first time for me.

Had the same thing happen to me with the VH ack at 17 last night.  I raked .50's across it 3 times without taking it down.

Could it be that HTC increased hardness of acks?
