30mm damage

[Scotch]

With the beta and everything else going on, wondering about this

[MrRiplEy[H]]

Richard Candelaria's P-51 took a hit from a 262, only suffering a big hole in his wing?

Richard Caldelaria can owe his life to some slave worker who sabotaged the fuse of the 30mm round most likely..

I have a video of me shooting am FM2at point blankwith a 30mm, it hits him in the tail and nothing is done.

Well, that was an FM2, quite possibly the toughest fighter in the game.

[StokesAk]

Though it would be interesting to see, it's a moot point as it "just being a lag issue" would contradict previous statements they've made about damage application vs lag. But any sort of answer or acknowledgment one way or another would do.

Now go make up some more stories and practice your voodoo dark magic.

[mechanic]

voodoo perhaps...but what stories have i made up? (if you want publicity for the thread, lets do it, im curious what you mean)

yep hit wing tip plus acouple mg rounds hit probably should have done some time of damage

[StokesAk]

I also remember watching one of m00t's films where he pops a 30mm into an FM2 and it has no effect.

Anyone who flies 30mm birds often has probably run into this before. There's been numerous threads started about this issue, but very few films. You earn that sweet tater shot on a Spitfire only to have him shrug off the hit with minimal to no damage and fly off as if nothing happened.

In this case the lucky Spit14 takes a fuel leak after being hit by a 30mm round from within d200...

Alot of the time the 30mm issue is the toughness of the target, the toughness of the area hit, and the .001 damage left needed to shred the part.

Most times if the 30mm is being fired WITH the mnachineguns the areas hit almost always fasll off, otherwise a second 30mm is needed. Altho scratching my head it makes me wonder why some bombers soak up 30mm like nothing happend at all.


HTC, add another 2 points of damage to the 30mm so people can have theyre one hit wonder weapon.

Amazing how such discussions aren't unique to any one flight sim...if you're talking 20, 30 or 37mm cannons, they should be HE rounds...especially in the German planes (pretty sure some Russian too). Keep in mind that a WWII era sub 40mm aircraft cannon round did not have the same explosive impact that modern HE ammo has...still, one would think that if they can model 40 or 88mm ack properly in the game, it would be a simple matter to program that same modeling into the aircraft cannons to smaller scales.

Tracer rounds into fuel tanks and ammo stores should create a nice light show as well...just not on a frequent basis.
