Literally 22, count em, 22 messages up.
Also found more of that same operation
https://migflug.com/afterburner/operation-linebacker-ii-b52s-hanoi-1972/
“15 B-52s destroyed, ten falling in North Vietnam and five crashing in Laos or Thailand, with more damaged. Of the 92 crewmen aboard the lost aircraft, 26 were rescued, 33 captured, 25 listed missing and eight killed or dead of wounds.”
That was one part of the operation or do I need to read for you too
I looked at the wrong shell.
HEI has a 2.5% chance.
What’s highly likely happening is that fuel chances change based off damage to the tank
Bombers have insanely high HP so you’re never ever hitting it with enough damage singularly at once to actually cause it to catch alight.
Did some more digging and found in the files of the P-38J the fuel tank ignition chances.
It sounds like thresholds. If a round does a specific amount of damage, it will get a fire.
Cannons are so ridiculously strong in-game, their incendiary effect never shows up. This update changes that.
So if fires are directly correlated to the damage you cause per round into the tank.
That explains why .50s suck so much at lighting stuff up.
Are other aircraft besides bombers buffed?
How many times have I been proven wrong in this entire thread? You got the skin thickness being 1.6mm, not 2mm (0.4mm is alot for you, isnt it) aaaaaand…
I have no idea what you are talking about for skin thickness of whatever it is, I havent said anything about any of that.
so, at least once now?
There is also 1800 replies now of people arguing that you are wrong
everyone is the hero of their own story though
It doesn’t, because the fuel tanks themselves don’t actually take damage and/or never catch on fire lol
only them and some bomber-based attackers
Also, I specifically chose the Ryusei as a target because thankfully it has NOT received the bomber buff.
the following day seemed to go very well for them
like looking at this pretty much all of them were either instantly destroyed or had to be abandoned after 1 sam hit and ur soy pointing at the single one that was hit by two and survived long enough to also be abandoned lol
Out of almost 1700 messages, once, which i admitted to, and corrected, which barely even changed the end result of my equations anyway.
So this dumb shit meme is pretty inaccurate considering the competition
The entire operation resulted in 15 bomber losses, 5 of those bombers were lost after limping back to friendly territory and ejecting, the remaining 10 were lost over northern vietnam in varying states of damage, and a further 9-12 B52s were damaged and managed to land back home
During this operation a B52 even scored a kill on a mig21 with its tail gunner
were those from direct hits or the missile being close or maybe from the missile being just far enough to set off the proxy fuse but not quite close enough to destroy it
we cant know because as you said theres no footage or pictures and whatnot
good for him? not really relevant
You’re also, again, forgetting the argument here. Its against bombers falling apart like legos
You should have replaced said with the word generated. It would be more accurate.
“falling apart like legos” bombers can on occasion (just like how in real life they would SOMETIMES survive crazy shit) survive alot of damage and “falling apart like legos” is far better than what we have on the dev server in terms of gameplay
Ok, lets assume all 10 bombers lost over vietnam were lego incidents. SO that leaves us 5 bombers that didnt lego and limped back home (cant limp a lego), and 9-12 (im gonna assume 9 to be nice) bombers that MADE it all the way home. Thats 10-14. That is a 71% chance of bombers NOT legoing when pounded by a god damn SA-2. That seems like most of the time they’re surviving crazy shit
refer to:
Also… “OnHitChanceMultFire” sounds more like a multiplier to a base fire chance (likely gotten from the fuel tank itself) than the fire chance of the shell itself.
The name of this variable itself is something like Fire Chance Multiplier On Hit if we un-shorten it.
refer to
yeah i looked through it and it never says if these were direct hits or how far away the missile was when it detonated
also im sure pilots would never overstate shit in their reports ever that would never happen
humans overstating can literally effect any report ever, if you wanna go that route, fine, all the reports previously posted are lies and all thats left is guncam footage and math, which paint a very ugly picture for the result the fighter mains are going for
Inshallah the great bomber era shall begin
