Kill the pilot.

Severe damage is:

  1. All Engines gone
  2. Horizontal Stabilizer critically damaged (blackened, does not need to be separated)
  3. All control surfaces disabled (either cables or destroyed)
  4. 50% or more wing area is removed. (this can be very funny with certain wing shapes and configurations. Twin boom aircraft make this a mess)

A “kill” is:

  1. Tail cut off

The above all permit actions taken by the pilot still.

The only way to stop the pilot from doing things is to kill the pilot.

Fun fact: The horizontal stabilizer being blackened? It reduces turn rate, but plane remains perfectly flyable. I’ve taken black horizontal stabilizer damage in sim (where I need to compensate for damage myself) and I didn’t realize until after the dogfight and while heading home. It’s that inconsequential.

Slightly Alive

Also was the Mica in the air already?

If they’re spinning and haven’t bailed out they’re aiming for you.

Hit the multipath zone, throw chaff and flares and extend or turn and finish them off if you aren’t in a furball.

  1. pilot dead
  1. Entire plane disintegrated.

  2. Landed safely on the ground with broken engine and/or zero fuel.

Note the “” marks: tail cut-off still permits firing. I made this distinction to emphasize that. For this, I can see modelling aircraft like helicopters where weapons can fail from damage as a neat thing.

Gun supremacy

Somehow I landed a B29 without wings and a vertical stabilizer lol.

you play with russia and compain about it ? i bet you have taken some kills to with the r73 or 77

Idk if this game models lateral G forces, but i’m pretty sure a pilot would g loc on a flatspin like the ones in wt

I would recommend some lite search’s on ww II planes, some landed without crews, some landed with only one man alive, never doubt the will of survival. I’ve made it back in pieces then had to check my heart rate lol but I made it…

no brah he literally js launched it out of nowhere and i couldnt detec him on my ahh radar beacuse for some reason the su30 cant detect stuff closer than 25km

Why can dead people still shoot? Because that is just ONE of the MANY idiotic aspects of this broken game. Like why can a tank that gets destroyed by a team mate shoot me even just after he dies? Why can my British solid shot round with 190mm pen NOT penetrate the front of a Panzer III turret. Why do rounds that don’t hit a tank’s barrel do ZERO damage EXCEPT taking out the barrel? There is so much broken with this game and all they do is ignore virtually everything people highlight as a problem and roll out new copy and paste tanks ad nauseam. Bottom line… THEY DON’T CARE!

In Il2, if my plane is on fire or my ripped off due to damage, I can still shoot (at least if the gun itself is intact). Why shouldn’t I be able to also keep shooting in Warthunder?
