Hi i fly a lot in WW2 with BF109 ; Spitfire and P51 i like very much the new damage model.
Whith the 50cal, when you shoot the engine , radiator , tanks... they do a great job , the problem is not here, when you aim good it s easly shot down a plane.
the problem is when you shoot the wings, you never can cut a wing of a BF109
i tried to shoot the wing of the FW190A8 and i cutted is wing on the first try ( its hard but its possible).
when you shoot the fuselage whith 50cal i realised they dont do a lot of damage on the fuselage of the BF109
i know they are not explosive munition but when there is a lot of impacts they should cut the wing and its not the case
if you put a good long shot it had to cut it, no ? what do you think? I think there is really a problem on this.
I tried something and i dont understand the result (if you can explane it to me thanks)
That was turn on dcs open beta 2.7.6.12852
why can i cut the outside part of the wing with 10bullets and the interior with 30 ?
and now; Why can I cut whith one 50cal but not whit 6
i know i missed a lot of shots but i put more bullets whit the P51, no ?
It s 6x 50cal i feel i shoot potatoes, at the end of the video you will see i put a litle burst in the tanks and it s works very well but not in the fuselage is that normal ?
I know they do less damage than a 20mm but here i don t understand.
I watch a lot of footages of 50cal cutting other planes and i feel it s impossilble to cut the tail or wing of a 109 or D9, i m probably wrong.
Yeh i know IL2 is old but go at 3.10 and 18.40, is that possible in real life and if yes is that possible in DCS ?
PS thanks you for DCS i like it very much, i just want to help you to make it more realistic and be helpfull ! thanks in advance for the time you will spend on it.
