Damage models/weapon lethality

[Capn kamikaze]

Recently it seems that weapons have either been made less powerful or planes tougher.

 

I've been getting a lot of hits recently with the AIM-120 and have noticed that more often it results in damage rather than a kill as it had in the past.

 

This is against multiple targets, Su-25's which seems more plausible, but also against Su-27's and MiG-29's.

 

Has something been deliberately changed, or accidentally broken?

 

For example I made a recent mission to hunt down an A-50 protected by a screen of four Su-27's, I killed the Su-27's, and let my wingman kill the A-50, it took him two AIM-120's and an AIM-9, first a 120, then the 9, then the second 120, because the A-50 was running, and all were hits.

 

After the first 120 and the 9 the A-50 looked like this.....

It is using the SFM and that's why the AI can do things like this, humans can't do things like this...

 

wait for update, one day they will fix it

Still what about the Su-27's, as I said, it seems recently that something has changed, and weapons are doing less damage in general.

Still what about the Su-27's

 

You are probably right about damage may have changed recently, but, Su-27 AI is also SFM, as is every AI aircraft.

 

I have noticed this since 1.5.1 or so with air to ground weaponry.
