We’ve been waiting for ages for this…
Just need to give a higher altitude spawn for bombers and it might be enjoyable again.
If a rework of bombers airframe is being implemented, maybe in a somewhat near future we could get a rework of the aging post-pen calculator on tanks ? With spall liners and much more complex interiors, bugs happens more and more ( often Russian autoloaders, auto-canon munitions, spall-liners, …)
I’m praying for time like this.
The aircrafts and helicopters currently featured in game are designed on an overly simplified damage model that consists of Separated static parts that When shot or damaged it gets broken separately, why is that? Instead of calculating real-world structural fatigue or stress deformation, aircraft wings and tails are divided into simple box modules. When a main wing spar absorbs enough damage, it turns “black” and instantly snaps off entirely. In reality, combat aircraft structures are built with massive redundancy; a hit rarely severs a wing cleanly unless the aircraft is pulling extreme G-forces later in flight.
When will this gets more realistic and accurate to real life simulation?
changes on bomber surveilability should also include the reduction of bomb-load explosion triggered by gunfire - actually (arcade) this is the most reason for destruction - not structural fails
can we also get a rework on the survivability of the aircraft such as A-10 and Su-25 it is simply laughable how easy it is to take them down, even thou they both were made with survivability in mind as a primary objective. especially how fast the fire takes out controls from the aircraft, most of the time there is simply no time to even use fire extinguisher b4 u loose all crontrol of the aircraft from one small fire.
I also wonder whether, even after the update, guns like the ADEN and DEFA will still be able to take down bombers with a single burst. Their firepowers are extremely high even by real-world standards, so it should be nearly impossible for a bomber to keep flying after taking a solid burst from them.
