cannot reproduce the ai JU-88's pop like baloons

hi, @NineLine, 

Merry Christmas, and a coming New Year!

I keep noticing some weird 'resilience' problem with the ai ju-88's. With P-47 it takes 5-10 rounds and they 'explode' or whatever the fireball effect is called, obviously catch fire and sink. Was just flying on some Channel MP server and I was able to destroy the whole wing of 25 or 30 of Ju-88's. Pop, pop, pop... lol..

It seems to happen when I hit them dead on the center of the fuselage from straight 6, the resulting fire can start on either side between the fuselage and a motor. If I hit them directly into the motor they take damage and eventually catch fire, so are the sections from the motors to the tips, they catch fire like normal (I guess).

I'll attach a track tomorrow (the mission I flew ended up in a game crash (d'oh)).. although i'm sure you can load up some quick test mission with a p47 and a ju88 and give it a test yourself... The behavior seemed too intentional, can't just be me...

Still waiting for that track

So I flew my own missions against Ju-88s and I did not see anything too crazy. I am sure there is times you might hit fuel tanks or something like this, but really the seemed to take hits pretty good, so I am going to assume this one is ok unless I get that track

hi, @NineLine, I concur with you, I haven't observed this behavior for the past 6 months, so something was changed for the better. You can close this topic if needed, I'll re-open it if the issue comes back.

cheers!
