Damage modeling

[Waffle]

i'm pretty sure IRL if you got an engine smashed / oil leak - you wouldn't be chasing anyone aorund - you'd be running for home. But since it is a game and you can chase with a busted engine..might as well be able to do it a full power before it seizes   BTW - you can retard your throttle too, if so inclined. And it does have an effect on the temperature.

right, there needs to be somthing in here that would make people want to land...how perking every plane,...not alot...maybe 1 or 2 points...and for the early models like the spit 1 and spit 5, 109E and F, 190A5, ect. they wont be perked at all.

i agree with that an probably everything else here.

i kinda feel AH should forget about TOD, an they can completely concentrate on these other things. my 2cents

FORGET THE TOD!?

ARE YOU INSANE!?

[1epic1]

I brought this up a while back and HT answered. He said that he too would like to redo the dammage modell but as far as I understood it won't be anytime soon or even at all. He said he'd like to, not that he will.

IMO it is the one thing missing from AH.

I remember when I started playing Warbirds in 1995, it had the same general idea (although a few less parts and such) and it was great at the time. But that was 11 years ago.

One can argue and bigger about Il2 dammage modell and flight modell but the dammage modell is often far superior even though some seriously weird things happen there.

You want intellect?......

Chuck Norris will make you an offer you can't refuse, and then make you refuse it.

Rosa Parks refused to get out of her seat because she was saving it for Chuck Norris.

Chuck Norris once met a bear while walking through the forest. Chuck Norris showed the bear his fists. At this time, the bear proceeded to eat itself knowing that it would be a less painful way to die.

Chuck Norris was once the F.B.I's chief negotiator. His job involved calling up criminals and saying, "This is Chuck Norris."

If you make the DM more realistic then the game would be harder to succeed in.  True it would be harder to fail in as well, but AH has always been about playability, about being a fun and mostly believable game.  

I stopped playing IL2 online because it was too much work for too little gain (plus the .50s were pathetically undermoded "IMO").  In AH I can come into the arena and within a matter of minutes have 10 kills under my belt.  I like that

[Wilbus]

Actually Yeager I'd say it might actually be easier to succeed in.

Remember, what we want modelled is to get rid of the all or nothing kind of modelling. Ie. Shoot an aileron off in X plane and lose X ammount of roll rate in %.

Much better to have a cannon shell hit in the outer wing, effect drag, lift etc.

This way people would no longer fly away unharmed with 4 20mm in them (2 in fuselage and 1 in each wing for example). This way 30mm would be as effective against bombers as they were without the need to put them all at the same place (or more or less atleast).

There are only two kind of peoples on earth:
1- People who are scared of Chuck Norris.
2- People who don't know Chuck Norris.
