Radiator Problems with some AC

Faustnik · #1 01-26-2011, 07:10 PM

Some of the IL-2 planes do not have radiator damage models and this is a bug. These are the:

Hurri II
Mc.202
Mc.205
Yak (all models)
LaGG-3 (all models)

Some similar planes that have radiator damage models and work correctly are the Hurri I and the Mig-3.

All planes have a similar design.

Would it be easy to fix these similar planes?

It would be a big fix for light MG damage!

Anyway, radiators are interesting!

Hehe after 10 years of sucking it up and having to tolerate the cannons crowd and their "learn to shoot" insanity this simply wouldn't cut it anymore.
We need tungsten-core .303s

to make it up for all these years.

Yeah, I like .303's for their speed and accuracy but they basically do next to nothing in Il2. I've unloaded an entire Hurri II (12x .303) in a macchi at point blank, no real damage, mind you this was an AI plane, a human plane would have seen some damage.

I used to aim at the radiator on Hurris with the 109's machineguns once I'd ran out of cannon ammo, and get quite bemused when I saw hits but nothing happened. It's the only real target from behind. I would like this too.

The not the gun thats the problem, it's the radiator.

Use only the 7.62mm in a Bf109E and hit a radiator with some Yaks and Laggs or Mc. 202. There is no radiator damage. The to hit a radiator in a IL-2. The IL-2 radiator will damage with a thin smoke easily. So, IL-2 is a really wimp compared to Yaks or Laggs.
