cannot reproduce F-1 receives almost no damage from guns

[RafaPolit]

Hello! Really loving the look of the F-1 and what it brings to DCS (not that much in love with the price and "small(ish)" discount on early access, but that is for another issue).

I added the F-1 to some missions and went on head-to-head against the F-1 with an F-16.  The F-16 gun can tear the fuselage of almost anything like a hot knife on butter.  Yet, the F-1 was REMARKABLY resilient... a powerful discharge and the F-1 was, more or less, flying OK with an "increased" AoA.  A full second discharge and the plane had a sink rate that could not be "overcome" by the engine and AoA even more pronounced, but pilot and plane still flying.

I could start a new flight and provide a track or capture, but I'm sure this is really, really easy to reproduce by a testing team, so I thought I put here a heads-up in case it's a simple fix (or maybe there is nothing wrong and the F-1 is almost bullet proof! )

 

Thanks,
Rafa.

I can down a F1CE with one F-16C burst.

I have had mixed results in further missions.  Sometimes they do get "reasonable" damage.  Still, if the hit is not on the main body and only catches the wings, for example, the damage is really minimum.

But yeah, it may be more marginal than my initial assessment that happened TWICE on the same plane.
