The graphic showing you your wing may have been there. But that doesn't mean its not damaged.
If a gun takes a 20mm round you can have bent, broken attachment points. You can have a damaged spar, you can have all KINDS of damage to fuel lines, control cables, etc running inside the wings out of sight.

Just because the surface is there does not mean that you can pound out the dings and safely fly that AC again.

Would you really risk your own life for real in a plane that had a gun shot out of its wing?
I wouldn't.


what was the gun damaged by then? :huh


whenever I've had gun damage, the wing is still there...
I'm an aerospace engineer... I'm not just arguing for arguing's sake.

woah calm down buddy(you= :furious). no, slipknot posted things about dropping mexicans on towns to lower property value. my posts do not resemble these.





American P51 Mustang at the 2008 Biggin Hill Air Show. This actual aircraft originally belonged to the 332nd fighter group and bears several battle scars by way of repaired bullet holes in the fuselage. This group became famous as the first all Afro American fighter group - the Tuskegee Airmen, Tuskegee being the town where they trained in Macon County, Alabama.


hey they can fix stuff...

yes i know many planes were scrapped upon landing. but yall just cant let a wishlist item go can you?. even if someone just wishes for it you jump all over them.

im just trying to defend the right actually post items on the wishlist instead of being a No-fun community. lighten up, honestly.


and as far as FSO. ive read many real life accounts of pilots landing damaged aircraft back at their base and upping five minutes later for some payback. even the british who get shot down completely get a ride back to base and go right back up again.
       seeing as this is a video game, where tank turrets become instantly fixed by a wooden box, it actually isn't too much to ask for a fricken machine gun repair. even if it isn't what happenned 100% of the time.
     
 you say that fso would never be the same??? how many people escape the dogfights with only damaged guns? most people just get shot down, wing ripped off, bailing out into hostile ocean territory. now yes, that persons night is over, agreed.
      however, if a pilot is skilled enough to come out of a dogfight with a still combat-worthy plane, which does happen, and makes it back 20 minutes to base. can you throw a dog a bone?seriously, he deserves to get 2 50 cals repaired. its not like we are re attaching wings or something.
