DLEGION Posted November 15, 2019 Posted November 15, 2019 hello, i get gunned daily, and i noticed some heavy differences with other planes damage model. F18 seems to be some kind of "paper plane", often 1 bullet to the main body is enought to completely shut it off (both engines and all electrical systems), the wings fall off with really few damage compared to other aircrafts, Always got both engine failure togheter (never had one failure and one still running) and gun stop to work 90% of times after i'm hit. now lets say F15 damage model is something unrealistic (it can take a huge amount of 20mm and still work, even with both engine flameout still working in afterburners, never killed the F15 pilot ecc...) but other planes like mirage, F14, su27 ecc, feels way way way more resistant (well an F14 took 3 aim9x hit and was still flyable…but thats another story), even small planes like m2000 where every damage should be quite lethal are way more resistant than F18. so my question is : is F18 damage model still WIP and will be fixed, or its correct as is now and 1 single 20mm bullet can shut off plane ? thanks for the info.
Harker Posted November 15, 2019 Posted November 15, 2019 I also find the F-18 to be more fragile than most other jets. I don't know if it is like that IRL. And I too never had only one of the engines fail, both fail at the same time, always. Although I've survived gun hits and managed to get back to the boat, I don't think I've ever survived a missile.
