Realistic?

[Pajama Pilot]

This AI pilot was able to fly and land softly with these serious damage. This is realistic?

 

Using OpenBeta 1.5

So the obvious thing is the missing tail. I guess that's plausible if weather conditions are decent. With that said though, the AI does not use advanced flight model, so what works for the AI and what works for the player is not always the same.

 

But then again, an Israeli Air Force F-15 landed with one wing after a mid air collision in 1983. Is that realistic? :)

That same damage has occurred to me in the Su-25T. The aircraft just fishtails uncontrollably and you swiftly lose control. Yet I've seen the AI land no problem on multiple occasions with the same.

 

I think it's just the AI issue where they either fly like it's fine, or they're dead.

yes, plausible, the elevator is what you need a little more of...

IMHO

if that happened in the DCS I would report it immediately in the bugs section :)

 

 

Thank you all for the answers

This is a different aircraft, but I think this video attests to the plausibility of a F86F realistically and successfully landing without a rudder, in real life.

The B-52 has it's engines on the wings and therefor the pilots can try to control yaw with assymetric power settings. An option you dont have in a single engine fighter.

While stationed in SAC one of our B52's lifted and just after it was airborne went 90 degrees vertical. (no lift at all) the pilot straightened it out just in time... note: runway needed minimum, with average loudout 2.5 miles. I watched some jaws drop... :huh:

They should program the ai to loss control
