damage model of the gazelle

[Nimbur]

Hello, I wanted to ask if this is a bug or a feature, that the gazelle, after 500 shots 50 cal and a few 30 mm and without tail rotor can still fly further where against the gazelle lasers me away with its 50 cal in the air?

 

i didn't know that the gazelle is better armored than the mi-24p...

maybe I'm just too ignorant

 

try it out for yourself, have fun

Never had anything like that happen to me. Whenever I fly the Gazelle, it´s shot down pretty quickly.

yeah, same experiance here, 1 well placed 23mm shell and i m often out, MG's and small arms can do little if not kill crew, but any cannon caliber is lethal. Is this video from mp or it's AI, AI is known for having simplified damage model, can also be some weapon underperforming or clear bug

Was that an AI Gazelle? The damage model for the AI in DCS is different than for a player units.

yes thats AI gazelle... what is also interesting is that there is always a lag in the approximation, but this applies to every module at the moment.
