v2tec Posted October 31, 2021 Posted October 31, 2021 Ok, the A10 is a robust airplane and I could use the ejection seat, when / once it was necessary. But, when I fly the FA-18 or the F16, one hit kills (by AA missile) and I am not able to use the ejection seat at all. Well, the damage model also looks the same all the time. The plane is loosing the wings and goes down. I am not sure if this is the same in reality. ________________________ ________ ______ ___ __ _ Win10 64 Pro, i7-6800K 3.4Ghz, 32 GB (DDR4), Asus Aorus 1080 TI WF, TrackIR 5 / RIFT, Thrustmaster Warthog, Fanatec Pedals, 55" oled 4k TV, Modules:A10C, KA-50, Huey, AV-8B, FA-18, F-16, NTTR, Persian Gulf _ __ ___ ____ _____ ______ _______ ____________

Especially the F-16 with its single engine and a very light airframe is unlikely to survive a missile hit, especially compared with the titanium tub of the A-10 and its engines which are outside of the airframe.

It's like the ejection seat has an automatic throat slasher attached in case any of the valuable, expensive hardware takes damage. i believe this happens a lot and has been for a while. this was mentioned by Kang. it still makes me laugh. lol AKA_SilverDevil Join AKA Wardogs Email Address My YouTube “The MIGS came up, the MIGS were aggressive, we tangled, they lost.” - Robin Olds - An American fighter pilot.

Extremely rare though. With fragmentation warheads, this sounds reasonable. You might survive a hit from the AA-8 (R60) since it's warhead is really small. And keep flying. I experienced that once.
GumidekCZ Posted November 3, 2021 Posted November 3, 2021 Neither F-16 or F-18 have damage model simulation completed (like ww2 have). It's something will be worked on. Nobody will tell you when, but I have small whish to be completed at least at Q4 2022.
Nealius Posted November 3, 2021 Posted November 3, 2021 ^ Damage model for both Hornet and Viper are stil WIP. For what it's worth, particularly in multiplayer, I also see IR missiles guiding on the cockpit rather than the engines or jet itself.
