possibly a glitch in the wing damage model.
normally in other planes when stress happens to the wing you hear it, then the damage happens from the stress.
in the 190A5 (only plane i hear no stress on) there is no warning, the wing tips both rip off pulling out from 390 in a medium G banked turn.
i may be wrong but shouldn't there be some "gray area" with stress on the airframe that you can hear before the instant snap?
<> HTC, everything else i have seen in AHII 2.01 seems great, and just wanted to point this possible bug out.
-
they nurfing more LW planes...:(
oh well i suppose we all gota fly spits and p51s from now on :(
-
HT has fixed the stress levels in this patch.
Well they are working again is what is said in the readme.
-
"Airframe overstress/structural limits now work again."
I'll say!
Well I logged on for my first flight, took up a D-9, immediately lost my left wing pulling out of first dive.
Went to the TA and started testing some planes. This is by no means comprehensive, just the ones I had time for.
Planes that rip wings on a 390mph pull out of a dive;
190 D-9, 190 A-5, Typhoon, Mossy (snif), P-47, F6F, Tempest.
Planes that won't rip a wing no matter how hard I try:
P-51, P-38, La-5, La-7, C205, Spit V.
Since my favorite three rides all rip wings on a pull out, I have to re-think my options.
-
all LW planes loose there wings now...great :(
-
Don't seem right. I seem to recall Tiffy's had a problem losing tails before wings, and Spits often came back with wings bent when over-stressed. F6F should be able to take more abuse than a 38.
-
P-51s had wing shedding issues.
The Mossie should be able to take 9 Gs without wing failure.
-
was in a Dora few min ago . dove in on con below me and made a pass , pulled up around 400 IAS and POP their went left wing :(
As it is now you would be better off getting into a turn fight than a B&Z fight.
Just makes me want to log off more and more

It's a problem that's come about due to the wing changes we made back for 2.00. We just didn't realize there was a problem in that because the structural limits were not ever getting called. It should be back to normal in the next patch.

Thx Pyro

"Back to normal" ... does that mean that structural limits will be turned off or that they'll be corrected? I kind of like B17's no longer being able to act like Stukas.

thank you for poping in here Pyro, a quick question?
is that why there is no "stress" sound before failure? if so, that makes sense, and thank you for all the work you all are putting in on this.
-
Good question, does "normal" mean structural limits will be gone again.
Hope not.
Why have reasonably good FMs then turn off structural limitations? Seems ridiculous if this is the case.
Hoping 'normal' means limits still on but you get a creaky sound to warn you.
-
Ripped both Wingtips and Alirons off a F4U-C in a Pull up trying to get on an La7 that went Vert to try and avoid me. Seemed rather excessive for the gs i was pulling.

rgr Dok, Tiffys lost their tails due to over speed in a dive. It would just rip off... The entire tail.
The 38 is a STRONG plane in a dive. STRONG. The only thing that holds it back and held it back was the fact it would compress long before it would suffer from overstress at high speeds/High G manuvering. But with the use of trim to control the 38 in dives, it was able so sustain VERY high G loads to the air frame.
The F6 should hold together like a tank, it did... IRL. It was build tough for CV ops thus it was a monster when it came to taking abuse. The thing I never got about the F6 in here was the landing gear. There are true accounts of F6's falling off of the top deck to the lower deck, landing on their gear and having the gear hold together. I've set some F6's down nice and smooth on a CV and RIP! Off comes the gear. Awwell. Dont want to Hijack this thing so thats enough of that.
I didnt offer too much detail here, (sorry) but these are the basic, very basic facts. And it takes only a few moments of looking into via some credible sources to find that they are all indeed true. But I'll leave the Homework up to someone else. I've got enough of my own work to do lol. :)

only the very early typhoons and prototypes, they strengthened the tail and they had no probs after that.
look on this picture, just infront of the tail you can see the strengthening bars that keep the tail attached to the fuselage ;)

If I remember correctly, later Tiffies were fitted with a Tempest tail also.

Hope it's due out soon. 190's are nearly impossible to pull any G's in. :(

Thanks Fur, I forgot to mention that.
Nice picture btw.

See guys.
Nothing to worry about.
Thanks Pyro.

Kinda like the early 109Fs were losing tails and wings. Early P51Bs having motor mounts fail, etc etc.
Growing pains :)

HT, Pyro ... please tell us what "back to normal" means in this case? Will overstress be taken out or adjusted to more appropriate settings?
-
Normal means they work at appropriate levels.
-
ty pyro
having bad day today coz of the wing snapping issue.
glad to hear its gonna be sorted

I am having some wing rip problems with the 190A8 also.
I hope the A8 will also be looked at in the next patch :)
All in all AH2 rocks, keep up the good work :aok
