One Eyed Ross Posted February 11, 2022 Posted February 11, 2022 Ok, I am not sure if this is the correct place for this or not, being relatively new here and all, so if not, back up ten yards and punt it to where it should be... I have been flying the A-4 a lot (well, exclusively) lately. Been bombing things. A lot. Anyway, when it comes to the WWII mod ships, specifically the IJN carriers, bombs don't seem to do a lot of damage...unless you are using a cluster munition. That will sink a carrier really fast. Ok, I get it. The IJN did not have armored decks on most of the Kido Butai. Armored decks didn't show up until the later carriers...but still, a CBU doing lethal damage while a two thousand pound Mk bomb does 5%? Maybe if the deck was loaded with planes ready for launch (which was never the case, even at Midway) it seems odd that a CBU would sink a ship while a one ton bomb does little damage.... Am I thinking too hard about this?
Mr_sukebe Posted February 11, 2022 Posted February 11, 2022 You’re over thinking this. could simply be that as the ships are mods, that the damage model is very basic. it would be worth asking the question in the thread that provided the mod 7800x3d, 5080, 64GB, PCIE5 SSD - Oculus Pro - Moza (AB9), Virpil (Alpha, CM3, CM1 and CM2), WW (TOP and CP), TM (MFDs, Pendular Rudder), Tek Creations (F18 panel), Total Controls (Apache MFD), Jetseat

Am I thinking too hard about this? Not at all. Mr_Sukebe is correct. They have a very basic collision shell.. But with new info and direction from Markindel, I am slowly working through all the ships, Re doing the collisions so they can be set on fire and sink. Stay tuned.... 1 "Yeah, and though I work in the valley of Death, I will fear no Evil. For where there is one, there is always three. I preparest my aircraft to receive the Iron that will be delivered in the presence of my enemies. Thy ALCM and JDAM they comfort me. Power was given unto the aircrew to make peace upon the world by way of the sword. And when the call went out, Behold the "Sword of Stealth". And his name was Death. And Hell followed him. For the day of wrath has come and no mercy shall be given."
