Why are you even trying to bring this up? I don't recall Batz or anyone else mentioning anything related to what you're trying to bring up.

lol, I guess you haven't seen that video of the Havoc taking multiple 88mm hits to the port engine and taxiing off. Yeah, nothing wrong with the game. HAHAHAHAHAHA

Sure I have. The wings were shot off. If you shoot a plane in the wing, what would you like to have happen?

Here's an idea. Shoot the pilot.

Actually no, they shot the ENGINES, the wings fell off, then after about 5-6 88 hits to the ENGINES the engines were restarted.

That's not what I remember seeing.

Post the video again.

Even if that DID happen, I've seen odd things in every game I've played. It hardly means there's a modeling problem. I've had my havoc engines shot and caught on fire by smg's.

In the video the 88 gunner was shooting only the rear engines, didnt even try for the fuselage or other parts of the aircraft.

Meatwad here is what is supposed to happen.

88 shell hits an engine.

Entire plane disintergrates.

Not wing tip falls off and engine is left intact.

I saw this video a few days ago and it was pretty dumb.

Whatever the politics of ww2ol may be when a plane repeatedly hit by either large caliber AP or HE in the back of the nacele that engine shold be gone and most likely the landing gear should be gone too..

So the modeling is clearly wrong. There can be no reasonable debate about that.

One instance doesn't indicate bad modelling. It may indicate attempted realism in an unreal situation.

For example, AP rounds obviously react different than HE rounds. When you shoot at buildings or armor the difference is obvious.

What's an AP round do when it hits an object with less resistance?

Regardless, having few instances of fubared interactions doesn't make the game garbage. In most of the instances I've encountered, it's much more realistic than other games I've played. That's about all you can expect from a game. After all, it's just that. A game.
