+Spectre_USA Posted January 22, 2004 Posted January 22, 2004 I've been doing a lot of single missions with all the cool new add-on jets, and the good old F-4, and have noticed a new thing in Patch 2. I have been shot down, according to my new pilot record, 4 times! Never have punched out. I discovered it when I only had 2, and then had a Phantom mission where I got shot up pretty good, but made it back home. The fourth was when I flew into the area of a .50 cal, and a single hit was recorded in the debrief. They're gonna right off the whole airframe for a dented panel? Quote
+Dagger Posted January 22, 2004 Posted January 22, 2004 I'll check with TK...but if you're hit take a look outside and make sure you only took one hit and where it was...I just need all the info I can get to give TK all the details,but Thanks for bringing this up and I will pass it along to TK.

+Spectre_USA Posted January 22, 2004 Author Posted January 22, 2004 Just don't tell him it was from me, I pestered him enough during the beta. ;) I actually just got another single hit from a ZPU-2, but did NOT get it recorded as a shoot down. On neither case did I see a pockmark on the jet, so don't know where it was hit either time. I only saw the green tracers, and the listing in the debrief. Still think that if it's chewed up, but landed, loss of airframe should not be given... Quote
+Dagger Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 OK told TK about the problem..and the info needed is where are you getting hit on the aircraft..and is it AAA or SAMs?A hit by a single shot in a vital place could leave an aircraft flying but unfixable.and a single SAM could destroy most aircraft.So please get all the info you can and let me know so I can pass it along..get some pics if possible,showing damage.Again Thanks...

+Spectre_USA Posted January 26, 2004 Author Posted January 26, 2004 Well, I just discovered, by looking at my pilot record, that I lost a 5th airframe. I wish I had looked at the debrief log, as I had no idea I was even hit. No AAA got me, nor did and A-to-A. I did get screenies of us egressing the area, and see no holing anywhere. The only thing that came close was my own Mk. 84 2000-lb'er that I laid down on a bunker at about 400 ft. Engine hit? There was no smoking... Quote
+Dagger Posted January 26, 2004 Posted January 26, 2004 not sure but 400ft...WOW gutsy move...that one I'd venture a guess battle damage from bunker and bomb frags...from TK is saying he was try to get the DM very close so it could be a single hit in a vital area.These losses..are for you or am I reading this wrong and they're from your flight.

+Spectre_USA Posted January 26, 2004 Author Posted January 26, 2004 The loss was mine, but only noted in the pilot record. The debrief didn't even say that a jet was lost/damaged, as it usually does when that event occurs. Something is toting up a loss in the pilot record, but whatever is passing that parameter is lost on me... Quote
+Dagger Posted January 26, 2004 Posted January 26, 2004 Oh so it's not showing up on debrief screen..just pilot record.Ok I'll pass that along. Quote
