410 wing - really?
« on: August 27, 2012, 10:42:26 PM »
Starboard wing keeps getting sawn off in no time flat. Seriously, were two metal spars really that weak?

The 410 is a prime example of why the player base should not get to vote on aircraft.

I was flying next to a lancaster at over D1200 and lost a wing with a single ping sound.

It wasn't from the rear .50 but rather a .30 caliber gun.

The airframe does seem weak.  It should be tougher imo considering it handles like an overweight piggy.

The Kanonenvogel had 6 rounds per pod, this is not even close to being open for debate.

Even the balsa parts of the Mossie strike me as more durable than the 410 wing.


Yes, a waaaaaah has been recorded.

21000lbs of balsa would be virtually indestructible for anything but 18" cannons :)

This brings to mind two questions:

- is the 410 damage model functioning correctly as intended?

- which aircraft would HTC have chosen to model apart form community input?  (if the answer is He111 or Ki.43 or J2M I'm going to rend my t shirt)

Just always had an interest in the J2M, and would like to see it in game some day.   The other two are great scenario planeset hole-fillers.    Not to be construed as a whine, just a playful poke at the wisdom of the masses vs HTC's possible choices.   But maybe they would've put in the Meteor, who can say?    :D   
 
I do like the community participation in choosing the next plane though.   Its a great way to make the players feel involved in the game's development, and if the a/c doesn't work out as its hoped or expected to, we've only ourselves to blame.  :frown:
