Buzzkillington Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 (edited) The F-16 target model (where missiles are aimed) is set on the pilots head and not the airframe. This means that every hit is fatal to the pilot which appears different than other airframes. in multiplayer this means a nearly unsurvivable aircraft. My first clue was almost no ejections from f16 vs other platforms. Edited December 4, 2022 by Buzzkillington Spellin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted December 4, 2022 ED Team Share Posted December 4, 2022 The F-16 pilot is in a very exposed position with a large canopy, the pilot is more vulnerable than other aircraft. thanks Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

Buzzkillington Posted December 4, 2022 Author Share Posted December 4, 2022 (edited) But the rcs of a pilot is lower than the aircraft body so the missile wouldnt fly directly into your face. Same for ir signature. If you watch an intercept the last thing you see is the mission flying directly to your eyeballs. I was guessing there is an aim point for the model that’s set to the pilot vs the centroid. Edited December 4, 2022 by Buzzkillington Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coxy_99 Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) Technically wrong thread it should be moved to F-16 bug thread under damage model. Its a small aircraft i would expect it to explode. Edited December 7, 2022 by Coxy_99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
