In last night's TOD I got wounded in my A6M2. While on autopilot blacked out an F4F was able to get saddled up and as I was recovering consciousness shoot me down. I was MUCH too low to try evasives while blacked out.
This brings up the modeling error. How on earth did I get wounded in the first place when the astonishingly advanced armor protection in the A6M2 is so well documented? There's no way a fifty caliber bullet could have done this.
Major Kawasaki Suzuki, a triple ace with the IJN, had this to say about the armor of the A6M2:
"One of the nice things about flying the A6M2 was the impenetrability of the cockpit armor to the weapons of the F4F, particularly while fighting around the Phillipine islands."
Professor Viscious Impact from Washington State University's High Energy Physics laboratoy has this to say:
"I've spent the last thirty years studying the armor of the A6M2, and I have conclusivly demonstrated there is no way a pilot could be wounded by an F4F's guns."
Doctor D. O. Little, who's special and general theories of Cockpit Armor are considered some of the most seminal works on the subject, states clearly that under no circumstances could an F4F cause injury to a pilot in the A6M2.
In addition to the expert testimony presented above, a simple sanity check by anyone who has any background in physics can clearly see that an armor piercing, high velocity, fifty calliber projectile has no chance whatsoever of penetrating both layers of rice paper protecting the pilot of an A6M2.
I feel HTC should immediatly review their modeling of the A6M2 and correct this glaring oversight.
