:airplane: Had something happen a couple of nights ago, just wondering if anyone else has had the same experience! I was approaching a CV at about 20 feet in a TBM, planned on zooming up to 200 feet, dropping fish, the running like a deer!
Of course they were firing at me and a large shell hit the water just in front of me and I flew right through the water with no ill effects at all. I thought that would or should cause a crash, but nothing happened at all. Did I luck out or is that the way it is in this game. (BTW, got shot down when I zoomed to release fish).

Currently water is not modeled in the game. So what you flew through was just a texture, the same as flying through fire or clouds.
The splash you saw was an animation, like when a tank shell lands near you and kicks up dirt.
-
So its not real water? :old:
-
Just like fire is no real fire and doesn't damage you if you fly through it. Just an animation, not an object.
-
I remember reading that our fleets used main battery fire into the water to defend against low flying attackers, the idea being just what ET described.

unless it's a HE round when gv.ing

is there enough of an impact to cause it to go off, or is it just a splash from the shell? is the shell actually ricocheting when it hits the water? I know bullets will, so why not big shells at low angles? I think the impact of hitting the water is creating a splash or spray and you get a free plane wash out of the deal.... my 2 cents.

A large splash generates enough volume of water to negatively impact the plane's flight. It's not like flying through the rain.

Are the trees real?

Zach the Matrix has you. You believe AH is more real than this world. Wake up and take the red pill! :uhoh

are you sure?

That's the only bit you wouldn't want to be real. Well, that and perhaps pilot wounds :devil

It's the volume of water which is the trouble.
Like driving through a deep puddle in a car, it slows and is pulled further into the puddle.
The plane not only loses speed but will nose down toward the water.
Well, that's my logic.
