[Partly Fixed 12/17/22]Pilot Protective Armor Missing or Incorrect Thickness


Magic Zach

Recommended Posts

It's been quite a lot of time.  I feel the need to bring this up again.  Issues still in the latest version of DCS 2.8.6.41363 include:
-P-47 missing frontal armored glass
-P-47 missing steel armor forward and below of frontal glass (just inside the cowling)
-Mosquito with incorrect angled "armor"
-Mosquito corrected pilot seat armor thickness
 (this was missed in December with the rest of the code-only armor fixes)
-Mosquito missing armor behind gun magazines
-Bf109's top head armor (11mm, which for aircraft armor isn't something to scoff at)
-P-51 missing coolant header tank armor

The other pet peeves with the Spitfire and the 190's still remain as well, but I'm prioritizing missing armor first
However for information and FYSA sake:
 

Spoiler

-P-47 pilot seat armor requires being separated between body and head rest, as the two had different armor values
-Rearrange the Fw190A's oil cooler and oil tank layout, and give them a steel material matching their armor thickness
-Spitfire's 20mm ammo box armor
-Change Mosquito's 'XArmor4' from 'Steel' to 'Aluminum'
