303_Kermit Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 (edited) Hi. Yesterday after the patch our squad started a bit fool around with Warbirds on Gudauta AF. I set 18m/s crosswind and we practiced landings. We took several planes, and there were many landing gears broken. Most warbirds were able to perform a pretty kangaroo-style-landings but jugs tend to...Explode instead of breaking landing gear. Is it connected with lower ground position of P-47 after last path? Belly landings seem to be quite safe , but lowering landing gear is a risky business, and a bounced landing looks just as safe as shaking nitroglycerin bottle. Can you please check if it's a bug or (god forbid) a feature? @Edit: In case of any doubts, just try to land hard enough to bend a landing gear. P-47 will explode. @Edit 2: Tailwheel spring & damping effect seem to be totally removed in MP. It's as stiff as the parrot in Monty Python sketch...

Walshtimothy Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Flying axis mostly these days so can I kindly request that Ed fix this bug ... to make the jugs blow up on takeoff instead of landing All joking aside I've heard quite a few talk about this so must be a bug. 2 walshtimothyWW2 virtual flier - currently playing on 4ya ww2 - youtube channel here https://www.ww2adinfinitum.blog - https://projectoverlord.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigg Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Yeah this happened to me last night on 4ya, however it wasn't from landing. After doing a repair and as the plane was placed back on the ground it exploded and killed my pilot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigg Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Yeah there deffo seems to issue since the last update, today in the one life event we lost 4 jugs to a weird gear bounce. it seems to be related to mp, recieving damage in mp as we had some flak damage or just recieving damage in general. Also there seems to be a difference between sp and mp in how they feel when the wheels touch the runway. in the quick landing mission i just went 10/10 with various approaches and been intentionally rough with some of them and no explosion. mine in the one life happened while rolling down the runway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
303_Kermit Posted April 16, 2023 Author Share Posted April 16, 2023 (edited) Looks like it's related to ground position shift of P-47 during last patch. I blew up just doing circles over AF. Just "touch and go", so it can't be related to battle damage. @Edit: Edited April 16, 2023 by 303_Kermit 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Eyed Ross Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Yes, it is annoying....especially when I am just now learning to fly the Jug. The perfect landing is still eluding me, so I have been blowing up a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oreo147 Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 @BIGNEWYand others - this is literally making the Jug unplayable, at least a comment would be greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ED Team Lord Vader Posted April 26, 2023 ED Team Share Posted April 26, 2023 Hey @303_Kermitand repliers This was reproduced and reported internally for analysis. Seems more evident if the propeller hits the ground. 1 Esquadra 701 - DCS Portugal - Discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gomez Adams Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 That's odd. I just bought the P47 yesterday. I had two Captain Kangaroo style landings and nothing happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slippa Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 (edited) I needed a refresh in the Jug so set up a simple mission to train on. Twice on take off I spontaneously combusted. I'm sure I hit nothing, though I was fully laden and a bit wonky. I've blown up twice on landing, both I'd have 'walked away from' if secret squirrels weren't seemingly detonating the radio set along with the Jug and everything in it. Something's up.
