Im simply asking for an official explanation on what triggers “your plane has burnt down”. Getting all riled up and saying this is nothing but “wild speculations” and asking for replays is absurd, when all I want to know is how the mechanic works and what triggers it.
I was addressing this claim, and I wasn’t saying you were wildly speculating. I was saying I don’t want to wildly speculate.
Isn’t “the enemy” a player too?

So you are not going to address what triggers “Your aircraft has burnt down” while having a completely controllable aircraft? Because that’s the main concern of this post.
What is “Your aircraft has burnt down” and why does it occur while having a completely operable aircraft?
To be bleak, there are a majority of planes that just, straight up shouldn’t catch fire, one example is the Su-25 with its Fireproofed everything.
Also, metal control systems (metal wire/pulley) shouldn’t decintegrate.

Lets not get off topic. I never claimed it does not work both ways. It clearly does, I am an enemy to players just as much as players are an enemy to I. Dont get it twisted.

Eh… I think the Su-25 is tanky enough as it is without it being immune to fire damage. Already takes 2 or 3 AAMs to bring down normally. Though you do have aircraft like the Ju-288C that always seem to be able to burn indefinetly that should probably be addressed.
Im not entirely certain about that, they would be more resistant but not invulnerable. Im assuming thats the back-up system as well, similar to what the A-10 has, so if the primarys are compromised, and they are using the redudant systems, then it should have massive flight performance limitaitons.
It takes you zero effort to go
“Hmm, this game I died in a weird way”, go to the replay website, save its link and share it with others for input rather than vagueposting.
Here is a prime example that occurred right in the middle of this discussion. My aicraft was on fire, 100% controllable, RIGHT before I touch down to cap a airfield, “Your Aircraft has burnt down”.
Right around the 6:50 mark

Lmfao asking how a mysterious mechanic works is “vagueposting”.
Love to see it.

Well, yeah, only fire that can burn hot enough to take out metal control systems is a hydraulic fire, which only applies to hydraulic assisted control surfaces.
Also not like a Su-25 took like, 12 stinger before going down one time.
Okay so I’ve ran this past a developer.
Fire should be the last type of damage before aircraft becomes dead.
Pilot was burnt in the air in the burning aircraft before it hits the ground.
I then asked “What about in the instance where there is no fire?”;
No fire - can’t be burnt
And then if there is no visible fire but you did get that message you “burnt down” that is a bug, so we’re than back to replays if you’ve got them.
So again, you seem to be avoiding the question.

Not dodging at all, I’ve literally just bothered a dev with your question…
You took fire damage > pilot dies > “Your aircraft has burnt down”
If for instance your pilot was alive, or your plane did not catch fire it is bug.
This is exactly why I asked for replays, because then we can ascertain if you were on fire but it wasn’t visible or you weren’t on fire and the mechanic trigger incorrectly.

I don’t think it’s off topic (or twisted) if I’m asking a question about a contradictory statement in your original post. But I see you’ve (honestly) edited your original post about this bit, so all good.
The fact you consider this “bothering” is rather telling, and I literally just posted a replay with the time stamp. My pilot, while injured, is not dead and my aircraft was 100% operable. I was forced to eject from my aircraft right before touching down on a cap.
This is not the instance I was referring to 50+ hours ago for clarity.

Very common use in English to describe taking someone away from what they were doing to something else you or another person wants as “bothering” you want to read more into that, that is on you.
Thanks.
okay at 6.37 you catch fire
6:51 your pilot is nearly dead
Then your pilot dies to the ongoing fire;

The only person getting upset is VERY clearly you currently.
