Armor / Damage Points for Aircraft

[Pand]

Similar to viewing vehicle armor information in the hangar, it would be interesting to see the defensive statistics (numbers) for each area (labeled) of each aircraft (and/or 'potential' random damage of hitting a particular area).  Doesn't necessarily have to be in game.  

Example of Locations and Damage Required for Plane X
Engine (to Oil)
Engine (to Stop)
Pilot
Front Fuselage
Radiator
Middle Fuselage
Wing Root
Guns
Flaps
Wing Tip
Fuel Tanks
Ailerons
Rear Fuselage
Horizontal Stabilizer
Elevators
Vertical Stabilizer
Rudder

it seems like a lot of work for something that wont be useful.  if you still dont know how much ammo it takes to give a pw then...

I want to believe every aircraft has some sort of hit point # in which it requires a certain amount to be damaged. Some aircraft seem to have an odd setup being they lose parts far quicker then other aircrafts.

its doesn't have to be a detailed schematics, just a raw list of the parts and value wwould do the trick

++1. It would certainly identify the "weak" points in each aircraft. Might make someone change where they are aiming!

the weak points of any airplane are just off the top of my head, the pilot and wing root.  always aim for one or the other.

lancasters, yaks, ki84's for example have very strong wing roots.

What we are asking for is a complete list, not hints

think about it all that work to post it.  when will you use all that info and can you memorize it for every single airplane?  in addition you have to add the variables, in which case will be your aim and what bullets you are using. 

for example let's say the tail in x plane will come off if you put 30 .50 bullets into it.  are you really going to count the bullets?  is there a way to even see the amount of damage you are causing to an airplane and to which parts of an airplane you are actually hitting and how many rounds you are putting into it?

  Not really that hard to remember a particular weak spot on a plane, maybe after 2 months of gameplay you should remember everything. No one is going to count out the bullets that hit a particular part of a plane. They just need to know what's the best spot to aim is.

You hit it right on the head ET!  This data can then be used with a bit of math to see how long I've got to hold the trigger down to damage/destroy that particular area of the aircraft (and save some ammo!).  http://www.horizonx.org/pand/?page_id=587

I imagine if it is too much work then HTC will chime in and let us know.  Depending on how they have it written, it could be a simple 5 minute script to export the data.

Would this put anyone out in some way if HTC provided this detail?  It appears that there are people arguing that it should not be made available.  The data is already coded into the game, all they would need to do is extract it.  They have already done this for vehicles, why is asking the same for aircraft not a valid wish?

I think you read me wrong, I +1 for this wish. I was just commenting on

Sure, why not?  I don't particularly see it as making a huge difference, but I guess all information is useful in some way.  I wouldn't stop aiming for wingroots or engine/cockpits, but some people might.

The only problem I can see with releasing it is, if people start going over it with a fine tooth comb, it would more than likely turn into, 'Why does Plane X's tail have this many hit points while the Plane Y's has this many?!  I demand justification for every number on this table!  My favorite plane's numbers aren't the highest!  Conspiracy!!!'

You know it'd happen.
