A6M5 bugs
« on: August 09, 2008, 01:32:20 AM »
First:

During FSO some squaddies and I were flying A6M5b fighters with wing and centerline bombs. At one point several squaddies and I were returning to base and I noticed my lead still had a bomb on. I told him "You're not going to believe this, you forgot to drop one!" His right wing still had a bomb underneath. He was showing no signs of damage. So he salvoed the bomb and instantly a fuel leak started up on his left wing. He said he had been leaking for a while already but it didn't show up for me until he dropped his bomb.

Second:

Making several sweeps through a fleet's ack guns I returned to base at the end of the FSO frame, figured I hadn't fired my guns once, so I would burn some energy off. I let fly with my MGs and 20mms. Only my right 20mm fired. My left was dead. No damage listed other than aux tank (which was trailing white vapor, so I knew it was hit anyways). Possible mistake in damage screen linkage to which items are damaged?

Hopefully, a new A6M will be out before it becomes too big of a problem.  :aok

I fly the A6M5b almost exclusively and I've never had either of these issues. The first one I can understand me not seeing, I never take the 50kg's with. But the second I've never had.

On a side note, please fix the A6M5b's CT HTC.  :pray
