Tail damage from taters
« on: May 20, 2010, 05:14:52 AM »
I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature, but when you hit the horizontal stabilizers with a tater it only takes out the stab that you hit. I would think that's realistic for planes like the F4U, P47, and P51, but on the stubby I16? You would think you would get some tater splash damage to the rest of the plane given how small it is. Here's 2 films of a tater to the horizontal stab with no other damage. Just curious if its a bug or not.   :salute

A drunk driver will run a stop sign. A stoned driver will stop until it turns green.

The tater duds seem to be back. I've been having duds last night i played. Even hurricanes behave like flying Panzer II's.  :rolleyes:
