[REPORTED]Broken damage model in 2.5.6.50726 ?

Hi,

To check the HUD visibility this patch I loaded up the Instant Action F-16 mission "offensive BFM", and it seems the damage model is broken:

the first Su-27 ate 4 sidewinders and kept going, so I followed up with both amraams, and still it kept going. It's only after landing a few gun rounds that he ejected. Track included below:

(forum upload failed since the track is 10MB)

I noticed this too. Planes aren't destroyed by missile hits anymore. They get damaged and fly on smoking. I had a problem downing F5s, so it must be universal.

Just dumped 6 AIM-9's into an F-5 and he lived

Came here to report this. In F-16 against J-11. 2 AIM-120 and I emptied all cannon rounds in him, he was visually damaged and smoking but kept flying untill bingo fuel.

Same, instant action mission issue. Model shows damage, smoke, but doesn't seem to be destroy-able.

I even hit the MiG with my own plane, it caused my aircraft to suffer visible damage, but it still flew just fine.

Track attached.

UPDATE: It seems to be just aircraft: my KA-50 kills tanks and SAMs just fine.

Teste F-16 and F-18 using AIM120 and AIM9 against F5, Su25, Su27.

Neither guns, nor missiles would bring the enemy planes down.

Only flying into them killed them sufficiently.

So while I guess due to the less than cheerful and productive mood Airhunter's post will disappear. It is certainly understandable where it's coming from.

Well the radar doesn't work in the hornet anymore so I don't think I'll be able to use missiles anyway :D

Its a disaster

Why not use the same testers they used for supercarrier? Give them acces to the patch for a day before you release it.

It's Open Beta... i can't believe why you dudes still get caught in the same trap? Oh, i know why... i want it first, no i want it first, NO, I WANT IT FIRST.

And then it blows up in your face... again!!

Because that doesnt get them any money. They already sold the P-47 and Channel map, so why bother with testing? ;)

Because the current "stable" verion is any better? It is maybe slightly less broken but still riddled with the same bugs and issues.

But they were volunteers testing it for free, this is not money issue.

This issue has been reported. Thank you for the post.

Goddamit ED, test your shit before you push stuff...

Best case scenario it's the wrong build that has been pushed, which isn't too encouraging.

Nice job ED, once again!

What works and what I used to test was ACM Boresight mode in the Hornet.

I moved to OB because the campaigns were (and still are?) broken on Stable. Don't pretend like everything works there either.

It’s beyond me at this point.. also stable version is basically a previous beta with the same bugs so can’t really use that either.

I don’t understand why people keep defending ED. In the current crisis the first step is to acknowledge there is a profound issue in their development process.

Loving the game, but suffering the lack of improvement and constant state of unfinished work.

Hope they figure it out sooner then later.

ED get your mess working! Since february and 2.5.6 there are bugs after bugs after bugs. One fixed bug opens 10 other bugs. Performance is crap too since 2.5.6 in VR!

What's going on with you? This sim is a joke at the moment!!! A bad joke!

Performance is crap too since 2.5.6 in VR!

Funny that you'd say that: my experience is the opposite. That's one thing that seems to be working out for ED these last few builds: for me at least performance is getting better and better :)

Agree, performance is slightly better and visuals are on the rise as well. What’s also on the rise is CTDs and bugged systems.

UPDATE: It seems to be just aircraft: my KA-50 kills tanks and SAMs just fine.

Not really, it's more of A/A problem. Ka-50 can't take out other helos anymore(12 vikhrs and Mi-24 only smoking but still flying). And I had no problem bombing tanks in F-16 on current version.

Does the issue exist against AI aircraft or client aircraft or both?

For me they have until BMS implement VR to figure their stuff out.
