In theory though, shouldn't the lost weight be offset by the extra drag caused by the now deflected aerilons, rudder, and elevator, just to keep the thing flying?

I think we've all forgotten that the WWI arena patch intorduced an upgraded damage model.  Last I checked/heard, it has not been implimented/integrated with the WWII content yet (and will take a lot of time), but we can assume when it does that damage will be represented in the game for all aircraft much better than what we have now and that until then things are gonna stay the same as they have been...

So I guess what I'm saying, is that nobody has broght up for a while in the community the matter of the WWII aircraft getting the updated damage models in the foreable future, as we've been told.

The damage model will not be like WW1. That's going to be unique to that arena, per some comments from HTC staff. What we'll get in WW2 (and we are already seeing this) is more parts, more finer resolution of damage. We will not get 10 chunks of wings to tear off nor loss of lift from bullet holes, like I think we have in WW1.

What we will see are more finer details, like left and right stabs, gear doors, visuals on flaps, elevators, ailerons, rudders, and overall improvements. It will not be like the WW1 setup though.

This thread has come to the point where it gets very interesting!
Damage model overhaul is not a new subject but is it really a project underway?

Just to be offset by your cases of margarita mix, blenders, shakers and ice.  So it all works out in the end.

You should know by now that no ritas on the rocks are allowed. All ritas are to be frozen..... the choice is salt or no salt on the rim.

Mixes are frowned upon. Simply Cuervo tequila, Leroux triplesec, and limeaid.

The collision model is fine. Player perception of the collision model could use some adjustments!

Maybe he meant damage model?  :headscratch:
Collision model is directly affected by the damage model.

still need the ice for the "frozen," and "mix" would be anything you choose.  I prefer a little Cointreau.
