1.2.2.7286 - AI lands normally with damaged landing gear

This is a long standing issue.

AI aircraft still don't seem to be affected by damage in any way when landing.

For example, when the landing gear is completely destroyed, AI aircraft will land on "invisible" wheels as if nothing ever happened and merrily taxi to the HAS ... :doh:

The same goes for other damage, such as elevator, rudder, ailerons etc., it doesn't do a thing for AI units.

It's quite an immersion killer ...

Moreover, when you damage an (AI) aircraft to the point where it cannot properly land, and crashes while trying to, you should get the credits for the "kill" ...

I'm pretty sure IL-2 did this properly ... :smartass:

same here but with su-25a...

Thanks for reporting this, haven't seen it myself. As this is quite hard to reproduce, I would appreciate it if you could attach a .trk file please.

It's been there for quite a while. Look at the date i posted this.

thanks

FYI: the same issue applies when damage is incurred when aircraft are on the ground. There is visual damage, but no corresponding change in "behavior" of AI units. Looks like the "ground part" of the AI FM doesn't model damage.
