It already is. Have you not noticed the revised damage screen listing? There are also new levels of damage like individual H-stabs being shot off.

That is already "pushed to the WW2 arenas" -- we've got it!

What they might do from this point and into the future is to add new things to incorporate that new damage, but it might be only on a new-development basis. Meaning, they might add more wing panels to blow off (instead of just "tip" and "wing" and "full wing"), but it wouldn't apply to the older non-updated models.  <-- doubt that's in the works, but it's a thought.

No, we don't have the full damage system in the WW2 arenas that is being tested in the WW1 arena.  The only thing that has been carried over currently is the exploding pilot when you score a pilot kill, indvidual damage to horizontal stabilizers.  We don't have the other damage like surface damage, etc.

I don't think the question of when is the issue, but...

WHAT'S IN THE NEW VERSION?

Ack-Ack... I think we currently HAVE it. I just don't think it shows up unless specifically built into new planes. So the damage model is there, but all of the planes in WW2 are too old to make use of it.

I'm thinking all the code is there, it's just that nothing "plugs in" to that code yet.

Wiley: I don't do WW1 much (not my schtick), but from what I've read I thought that surface damage added drag and/or loss of lift? That is, it's not just graphical.

Afk for a year or so.  The name of a gun turret in game.  Falanx, huh? :banana:

Usagewise, the top three AH 1.x units that need upgrading to AH2 standards are:

1) Panzer IV H
2) Tiger I
3) Lancaster Mk III
