It seems some parts of bombers (no bug sighted so far when attacking fighters with Mk108 in G-14) are immune...

First of all I'm not sure all these hits really are 30mm hits.
Damage to my Ki was:
Aileron, flap, tail gun, engine, fuel leak so i took some damage (I however do believe that most was 20mm hits)

I think the "bug" consist of 2 things: First is the damage model, enough damage to a part and it fails and on bombers one 30mm might not be enough to destroy that part (seems like no damage) Second is that a hit on a control surface or flap can detach that part but the wing itself is intact so by hitting a lot of "small" parts a plane can absorb more damage than if the hits has been to the wing.

If that's how the damage modeling works in this game then maybe a little tweak with it is needed. How about any overkill damage is dealt to connected parts? So if you hit a flap with a 30mm then the flap comes off and all the overkill damage that was not needed to break the flap is then dealt to the inner wing. Or if you hit the horizontal stabilizer then it comes off as does the elevator and all overkill damage is dealt towards the tail section and other tail stabilizers.

Based on my observations it seems like its how it works but i cannot say im sure about the damage model.
But even if damage are transfered to all parts within the blast radius a hit on a small part that detach will still be less lethal than a direct hit in the wing.

From my observations the only part of bombers that appear immune to damage are the bomb bay doors. Have never seen them fall off from damage either, even repeated 30mm hits.
Leave that thing alone!

I'm sure they do read this but I wouldn't expect a fix (if one is needed) will be forthcoming because of the new update that is nearing open beta.

ME163 vs LANCs

10 hits on the drone and 5 on the lead bomber. Ran low on fuel and had to give up. Both lancs landed.

Maybe this will help determine if there's a problem. Film and screenshots attached.

Oops forgot a picture that shows 1 more hit on drone tail area.

11 hits total on drone that I could see in the film.

Exactly like the 30mm bug : some parts of Lancaster (as other bombers) seem to be imune to fire... :headscratch:

Offline drones aren't a good way to test gun leathality for a couple reason. Also german 30mm had a delayed fuse. Could it be possible that shells are going through and through?

The ME163 vs LANC example was from online in the late war arena on 6/12/2015 at around 1545 hours central standard time.

Dont forget the drone vs lead bug.
