Hail and Hail Damage

[Mike Force Team]

Can the weather be modeled for hail and for hail damage to occur to the jets and gunships?

It is highly likely that the outer windscreen will be cracked by a mybkexperience hailstorm, and although the damage is mostly cosmetic, as the inner windscreen remains structurally intact, this can cause visibility problems for the pilot and will precipitate an emergency landing in many cases.

Simply not true re only causing cosmetic damage.  Hail can cause a huge amount of damage and i know of an instance where it literally grounded a whole fleet of transport and attack choppers and also fixed wing aircraft (including hercs).  This wasnt just grounding for the sake of grounding, it was in a high tempo period of operations in an active warzone. 

Point is why would we model this ingame - i think there is alot of things higher up the pecking order, like getting the clouds to at least render correctly first (especially VR), and move.

So many other bigger issues in game that urgently needs dev time.
