Question about battle damage

[Archangel44]

Hey folks,

Today I was playing around with this map and just for fun, I took my High Fidelty F-18C up to shoot some WWII German planes down.

I fired Amraams and it took three direct missile hits to destroy each Fo'k Wolfs.

I used the gun on them and they seemed almost invicible and in the process of mixing it up with them with guns only, I'm drilling this bird and it aint going down.

I look at the enemy plane and its got holes riddled all through it but no smoke and its flying like a brand new bird.

The invincible settings are all off.

 

Using a WWII Spitfire against them, they go down in flames like they are supposed to.

Maybe some other setting???

The WW2 damage model is tuned for WW2 weapons. 

Shooting at them with modern weapons will get you strange results.

Imagine how convoluted their code must be if they need to "tune" the damage model for different weapons instead of the same bullet having the same general level of effect across all modules.

He's not talking about bullets or cannon shells.

It is one thing to model a bullet directly hitting a structure. Quite another to define how that structure reacts to a guided missile detonation.

Yeah he is... did you even read the post?
