[WIP] Damage Model

[Neuse]

Are you still looking in to the damage model or is this final?

 

From MP experience with and against the F14 i have the feeling it often takes more damage then it should. Other people on our MP server stated aswell that the F14 took two missles and still was able too rtb.

From my experience flying it this seems to be often the case that i get hit but no crucial systems stop working, no fuel bleeding eg....i fell kinda tanky^^

 

Thought i dont know how this was in real life, so it just might be that way.

The damage model is still work in progress and we plan on improving it over time.

This is a pretty subjective topic I guess but I think the damage model has been really nicely balanced so far from my MP experiences.

 

 

I've been shot at a LOT flying in the blue flag servers and have had everything from insta-death to various system failures and everything in between.

 

 

 

From my experience, getting hit by a Radar SAM with a large warhead results in a large amount of damage/aircraft loss which seems about right.

 

 

Then IR missiles such as manpads and AIM-9s/Mistrals have taken me out of the fight but I have been able to RTB with system losses and engine damage. Getting hit by two consecutive heatseekers usually results in the Tomcat going down.

 

 

The only thing I've noticed is that the AIM-120 seems to struggle to mort the Tomcat. Once I took TWO hits from AMRAAMs and managed to RTB - albeit with massive damage to control surfaces.

 

 

 

Overall my experience of taking damage in the Tomcat has been a lot of fun and I'm always eager to push the limits in online play.

Thank you for your kind words. Internal systems damage we think is already pretty close, although there is of course always room left for improvement. External damage probably still needs a bit more tweaking. In any case, we will continue improving it.
