Me262 Damage Bug
« on: February 26, 2013, 11:04:10 AM »
I'm not sure if it matters, but I received damage to the RIGHT side of the Me262 nose (and graphics show it as such), yet the damage listing says "LEFT Cannon" damaged.

I know for sure that could happen in real life, whether it's part of the damage is another question.

Very true.  However, I cant see having the incoming round go through the position of the right gun and not damaging it, but damaging the left gun.  Also, FWIW, when I took the damage my wings were nearly perpendicular to the B17 it the round hit my nose almost as perfectly from the right as could be and for it to damage my left gun and not my right gun just made me go    :headscratch:  , hence me posting here.  I could see them both being damaged, but not just the left.  Either way, not a huge issue.  Just thought I'd point it out.   :)

On contrare, it could of ricocheted off the right gun, and maybe a few other things, before then lodging itself in the left cannon.  Maybe it cut an ammo belt.  The guns are I believe triggered by wireing.
