Should Bombers get a damage model update?

BRs will work, as what they have done to F2.22.2.

All planes should have more detailed damage models. They could model internals and the aircraft structure with a lot more detail. With current damage models plane fuselages are modeled as three or four large pieces and each piece has a single durability value. In larger planes each piece is almost as large as an entire prop fighter, so we have things like tails detaching in a single cannon burst.

Not a fan of the idea of buffing gunners, though. They’re already deadly enough in sim.

From my pov this has other reasons.

I recommend to look for posts by this guy: @DerGrafVonZahl .

Even admitting that he comes often along as smart ass (and sees Sim pilots as pinnacle of human evolution) he posted a lot of rather good (to very good) analysis of why and when certain things were implemented.

So regarding tails:

Cannon damage below 30mm is being done wrong

Yes this was implemeted somewhere in 2013. There was a lot of killstealing and complaints about planes losing tail controls even they were hit in the front (the cable got jammed or ripped). People couldn’t understand how a hit from the front damaged their tail. Also people followed doomed planes until they hit the ground to get the kill since there was no visual damage on them and they weren’t burning. Then there was a patch and the cables no longer were easily damaged, instead the tail just …

Have a good one!
