Losing Tail
« on: April 17, 2005, 07:40:12 AM »
Maybe I am running a string of bad luck but 10 of the last 12 times I was shot down it was to the tail falling off.  Whether they shot at me headon 30 degrees off front or from behind I hear one hit sound then the entire tail of the aircraft is gone.  I realize the one hit sound may stand for multiple simultaneous hits however I would like to see some flaps missing or wing issues instead of the tail falls off every time.  

This is only since the patch.  If no one else is having it I will just tell the ground crew to give me better constructed planes.

This is a mix of la7, spit V and spit 9 that I was flying.

Nothing new -
Add -
Tiffy 90% of time 1st ping is oil irrespective of direction of shot.
Pony as above but radiator.

P38 as above but pilot wound.

Spit as stated tail is bad, used to be pics on the Custom Skins and Sounds that showed a Spit and just how much tail/horiz stabs damage it could take.

Interesting note - try deacking a field with an F6F, 90% of time 1st ping from ack takes out same gun, same wing. I think the damage model appears to be very rudimentary.
