Am I Seeing The New Damage Model?

[Tinkickef]

I have just noticed some damage effects on the Huey that I have not seen before - actual holes in the skin and access panels ripped open by gunfire.

 

Previously, apart from the odd damage to the tail boom where the driveshaft between the 42 degree and 90 degree gearboxes are, and the taillboom itself detaching, I have never seen anything other than bullet hole decals applied to the skin.

 

The bullet hole decals are still there, but the actual holes in the skin are a vast improvement.

All we need are the rest of the decals to be turned into actual holes and the effect will be outstanding.

 

Edit: Effects observed on 2.1 Normandy.

Nothing new there AFAIK.

The upgraded damage modelling will only apply to WW2 aircraft, initially, and is still in internal testing with ED.

Thanks Feef. Never saw panels ripped open with internal parts showing behind them before. Guess I never took a hit on that panel before.
