Damage Report and Successful Engine Air Restart

[Azazel]

There I was.... rolling in to bomb a bridge being guarded by 2 x ZSU-23s and I took fire which knocked out my right engine fuel cell. Right engine down, left still go. Right engine fuel pump dead. Air Data Computer toast. Right engine fuel cell completely dry. I leveled out away from target with the right engine windmilling at 20-25 rpms, pulled the right engine throttle all the way back to its back stop (right shirt + home), enabled fuel engine crossfeeding, hit the engine start button on the console and then put the right engine throttle back on... It lit up right away. Landed safely back at Sukumi with about 600lbs in the left fuel cell and both engines still working. Loving the F-5E BST. Amazing flights so far!!!

The damage/failure modelling does seem very well done so far (as does systems modelling in general). I've only done a couple of 1 vs 1 BFM flights so far but the way faults cascade and develop over time following battle damage is excellent.

 

So far I'd say this is the best systems modelling of any DCS aircraft when comes to faults/failures. Very nice indeed and very refreshing compared to the A-10C.

In the 1v1 Fights I had with a Buddy I almost everytime took out his CADC. After that I had won the Fight because he then lacks of auto flaps and slats. Very refreshing damage model indeed.
