Damage question

[trigger2]

So, how does this happen, I put 8 .50 cal rounds into this spits engine... he puts one in mine...

His engines still truckin, my p40 engine dies on the spot...










So, how's that work?

i saw less than 8 hits on the engine.....but there are times spits seem like theyre armored a little better... was in a dhog, all over a spit, shot the chiit out of him, and he was flying around with wat appeared to be no damage...i got no screenies or film to prove it, but it happened.

If you wouldn't have ho'd him...



BTW the Spitfire has a Hispano right next to the .50 cal.

Even if it was a 9 with a .303, the point is still the Hispano.

Didn't plan on the HO, was planning on a merge, then his gun killed my engine so I opened up...

I still don't see how 1 shot can kill a supercharged Allison V-1710 V-12 engine where 8 shots, even .50's, from d200-d0 (yeah, there were 8, just didn't post a screen shot of all of 'em... ) couldn't kill the spits  Rolls-Royce PV-12 Merlin engine...

You should always aim for the pilot but going for a HO is a personal choice and once you make it you should accept the consequences.

... read my above post, I wasn't going for a HO, was going for a clean merge... but when does that happen anymore T_T, his guns hit, so I opened up...

I always aim for the engine, why? cause if you keep the strafe up, it'll also hit the cockpit at a HO angle

Combination, I tend to fly with the iron stick gunsight cause it gives me a bit of a shot out of the right side window which is where I tend to not see the cons 

And ftr... yes, 20mm's are explosive rounds, but I remember a story from David Lee "Tex" Hill, flyin a P40, 2 20mm's in his engine, and although the plane was vibrating "awful bad" he was able to get it home and land safely...

So, the fact of the matter is, is the damage modeling really that screwed up?
