Changes to Bomber Survivability Feedback and Discussion

I have resized the Dots to now represent 1.6mm skin thickness vs mk108 and a 50mm round with 450g of tnt also placed in there for scale, and overlaid it over me163 combat footage where we can see mk108s in action

Heres before and after for the mk108 size, 50mm has already been resized

And thanks to feetpics we can also see these rounds landed on the 1.6mm section for the left wing, the aft section of the wing is thinner and that also explains the larger hole on right vs left

There are not even columns for KK kills in the entire legible portion of the study. That data is likely contained in one of the many illegible tables in structure damage. There is a table in engine damage that follows the conventions mentioned in the paragraph you are citing.

It is very likely that the table that I am citing doesn’t distinguish between K kills and KK kills.

Still nothing

That seems highly unlikely given they specifically mention K and KK and a the differences between them. There are no KK kills

Except this is the only chart in the whole study that conforms to the labeling convention. Or at least the only one that clearly does.

And not a single mention of a structural breakup yet again… Makes sense, considering this is a page regarding shooting a JET ENGINE.

instead we see things that are currently pretty much impossible in dev server like fires resulting in a kill

Scroll up, I got pictures of fires resulting in kills… Also ofcourse its gonna catch on fire, this is a page studying a jet engine directly, which unsurprisingly gets one shotted by pretty much everything

I hit a B-17 with a Zuni directly and it put out the fire.

I just onetapped a b29 with a zuni

i think fighters should get survivbility reworks next as the even heavily armored fighters like P47 can get cut in half by 1 20mm but never and can actually survive stuff despite being literally one of the most rugged fighters of second world war


Major Loren W Herway of Indianola, Iowa examines flak damage to his P-47 Thunderbolt. A direct hit by an 88 took out his turbocharger, hydraulics, and rudder controls, but he made it back to his base and made a belly landing. When the ground crew started to tow the aircraft away, the tail section separated completely. USAAF photo

You fired 4. Not one.

Only one hit, you can see 3 rocket trails continuing on after… As i literally just said, here lemme try again

Only fired 2, and well, one was still going, so it couldn’t have hit

Hit closer to the center.

Another 300 comments and from what I can tell, not a lot of interest being discussed.

Anyway, added a number 6 to my list of suggested changes

You mean hit the stronger part of the bomber and watch it be stronger?

Or hit the section of the bomber unable to break off ingame to scew your results
