Wildfowler Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 A question on damage. Today in a E111 I and my wingman took on two Avro 504's. My wingman seemed to disappear! I got some hits on one 504 and then switched to to the other who was closing on my tail. I then looked at the first 504. He was pulling up very hard. Suddenly his top starboard wing broke away and he spiralled down. Is it possible AI sometimes over stress their machines like us mortals or did my few ill aimed hits weaken the wing? By the way. I was not credited with a kill!! Quote
ArgonV Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Hello! Sorry I was out of town. ;) The AI does make errors sometimes. This was at one point a WW2 simulation, so every now and then they want to try and fly these fragile kites like WW2 aircraft. It makes for some interesting fights! But it gives it a feel of realism in my opinion because flying accidents and structural failures happened frequently. Also, the way the damage code is set up, it is possible to weaken the wing (And other parts) by shooting them a few times. Quote
