Scoll Posted November 22, 2021 Posted November 22, 2021 (edited) Having hit a fence while taxiing, no problem to fly with that ... I don't post this into Bugs, first 'cause there is no way from DCS to give us a way to post a 50MB track, and there is enough bugs already marked as "reported", "Already reported" or "wip" ( All wwii planes : 116 !!! 39 only for the A8 ! ) Edited November 22, 2021 by Scoll count 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
peachmonkey Posted November 22, 2021 Posted November 22, 2021 per some accounts, supposedly, this is survivable in general.. However, if it's survivable in A8 specifically, that is a different question... 2

It’s a wonder the thing wasn’t shook apart in seconds and that the pilot could see to operate the aircraft and navigate.

A couple of bent blades is probably nothing for this monster.

This absorbs the vibrations. Gives some reports about it on the most different models Um verfolgenden Jägern zu entwischen,drückte Ofw.Bach von der 1.(F)/123 seine Ju88A-6/u(nicht sicher mit der Version) so dicht auf das Mittelmeer herunter,daß durch Wasserberührung Teile der Luftschraubenblätter wegflogen.Die Maschine landete am 25.12.1943 glatt auf ihrem Heimathafen Perugia(Italien)." To escape from pursuing fighters, Ofw.Bach from the 1.(F)/123 pushed his Ju88A-6/u(not sure about the version) so close to the Mediterranean Sea that parts of the propeller blades flew off. The plane landed on 25.12.1943 smoothly on its homeport Perth. on its homeport Perugia(Italy)." Edited November 25, 2021 by Hobel 4

Ophois47 Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 This happens to me often when I try taking off a certain direction at Dunkirk. Glad it isn't just me. A part of me wondered if it were meant to model a real failure that still allowed the plane to be flyable but I wonder if it's something they'll eventually fix. I'm still considering the A8, its tricky and I've grown fond of it now that I have the hang of it.
