Fix the Dora!!
« on: June 28, 2013, 12:51:45 PM »
For all of the improvements, new birds etc there is one glaring error in the existing planeset: The Dora's radiator.

It has been well discussed. Pervert went so far as to post a graphic showing how the radiator in-game extends well beyond the radiator in real life. A hit on the nose cone sets of the radiator, as an example.

Of course, I flew the Dora yesterday and took the 'one-ping wonder' hit in the radiator. There is ZERO chance the Dora was this 'nancy' in real life. Please, fix it! It should be about 60-seconds worth of coding.

Don't forget the tailwheel, also (I think it is the Dora that doesn't retract all of the way)  :D

I think it's all of the 190s except Ta152.

Yep, I'd like too se the radiator taken a look see. Pervert provided very good evidence through testing that shows it really deserves a look.

Really?  ;)

By the way, Boo, the rules of flying Lady D:
1: never ever accept a head on
2: do not attack a bomber unless its above your base, so you can glide home.
3: turn with the ponies and make them look funny
 ;)

Otherwise yes, Pervert posted some nice material in this subject.

109's have 2x radiators, and were pretty 'nancy' at one time; however, I for one believe they've been improved. Still not two separate systems with a switch to close one side but tuffen'ed up good though. :salute

Pervert's evidence was met by the usual "nothing needs to be fixed" answer from HTC.

It still needs to be fixed, every plane with dual radiators should be treated as such, and the areas of damage should be respected.

I've seen the posts on this showing where hits on the D-9 caused radiator leaks and I definitely support this being looked into for the D-9 and 152
Ms. Dora also had two radiators...
Bf109 and later Spitfires too.  Be nice to have that feature modeled for them.

2radiators = twice the chance to get a radiator hit. They were not redundant afaik.
Mosquito VI - twice the spitfire, four times the ENY.
