The Hornet can take a good beating and still land :)

Just had a fantastic mission.

Took off from Al Dhafra, started heading toward Iran to bomb a comm tower and refueled on the way.

 

The CAP was a bit slow so got prepared to fight 2 MiG-29's but just as I was closing in on a merge, they got shot down.

 

Got to my target and took out the comm tower. Had some spare Mk-82, so took out a target of opportunity but suddenly got hit by some AAA.

 

Turned back home but was wondering why I was dragging to the right and realised that my left rudder was completely gone and the right one was damaged.

 

Decided to head for the carrier which was much closer than Al Dhafra.

After bolting once, I landed and had a look at the plane.

 

Great damage modelling and what a fun and exciting mission. Are so enjoying this module :)

I think damage model is wip. I've lost left lef and continued flight without a problem.

 

Yeah, I would guess so.

I don't know how it would react IRL but here I really had to apply full rudder and bank, to fly straight.

It takes landings that would crush the F-15 landing gear...but then the F-15 doesn't do carrier landings.

 

F-15 does fly with one wing though.
