Information on new damage model
« on: February 17, 2010, 05:49:06 PM »
When the WW1 arena was first announced, it was mentioned in the announcement that part of the reason for the WW1 arena was to test out the new damage model.  Since then nothing has been mentioned about the new damage model.  Can we get an update on it?  What is being changed and how is it going to work?

They will introduce the "hit bubble" concept (slightly bigger than our planes), and all damage to individual components will be removed and substituted with a single "plane health" value.

This is my small pond, go fishing somewhere else!  :neener:

But seriously, I'm interested in knowing how the new damage model is going to work.

He is.

The damage model was (from what I read) an increase in the number of parts rather than the complexity of parts. Meaning instead of just "wingtip, outer wing, wing root" there were more parts per wing and their effects would be felt in different ways. Think of damaging but not destroying a biplane's cloth-covered wing. You might get away but how you do and how you fly while doing it will be different.


IMO a step in the right direction, but they never said anything about adding newly complex models, just increasing the number of existing models.

It would be cool if HTC could posts a short video showing the damage model in action.

+1, I'm really hoping that the new damage model is something impressive.

Im hoping, and maybe its more like dreaming..

that the new model will graphically show and model in flight more than just actual control surfaces being removed..  I.E. you could get shot in the wing, it makes  a hole in the wing where you got hit that is size appropriate to the type of ammo that hit you, and you lose a measure of "effectiveness" in that surface (if applicable)     so If my wing gets a bunch of 20mm holes in it..and is still there, it doesent fly the same as a clean wing.. and maybe could be snapped off if sufficient g-forces were applied due to being weakened by the damage..  ohh... stick stir that...  :banana:

He kids but that's exactly how each individual plane component works in the current model IIRC.   :)
