Damaged planes performance

Game Discussion Arcade Battle
1

Hello,

I am wondering is there is a better way to evaluate the general state of my damaged plane in Arcade air battle

Previously, the visual damaged skin was fine, and provided you the illusion you are badly damaged, but they replaced it by this buggy system with ‘autogenerated bullet impact’. Now your plane is in ‘black’ everywhere, but you can see, maybe, 2 or 3 7.76 bullet impacts on your right wing.

Also, the engine status does not seem to be… working correctly. I stopped counting weird issues like

  • Engine armor is in red, engine is in white, no leak, but the engine is dying
  • Engine is in yellow, no leak, but the engine is dead
  • Engine is in red, 2 major leaks, but I can fight without any problems

See below the exemple : horizontal stabilisator looks destroyed, elevator looks heavely damaged, the visual damage is ridiculous, I don’t feel I am damaged.

Do you know how I can see that, in battle, or not ? You know like… turn rate + 2s, Max top speed - 25 km/h

Thanks !

PS : this is for arcade air battle, but if you know the answer for air realistic, it should be the same principle.

Nah you have to guess how your damaged plane gonna have a different impact, no buttom to show specific numbers like that. Engine damage will reduce speed and power, if its too much you gonna fall like a rock. Fuselage and flaps damage will reduce your maneuverability. Elevator, tail and wing damage will in most cases make you loose control of the aircraft.

Check the integrity of your plane with the xrays (“O” key).
