The meter would effect what your pilot can do and would recuperate during less active spells.

Could be switchable of course....

(Hello BTW, been following the forums for months, but thought I'd contribute.... Thanks for all the great discussions! )

Very good suggestion! Getting wounded would also take away a chunk from that meter, if it's a serious wound it would gradually lower the meter and so forth...

Hmm I wonder how this could be made.......but then thinking of the bomber crews......that where rated as "Flak-Happy" or the real bad cases that got in their records stamped "lack of moral fibre".......just need to think of that movie "Memphis Bell" where the navigator is on that mission a nervous wreck.
But I think if things like raditator leaks, icing, burst tires, electrical fires, engine failures, or a real joy, when you want to drop your bombs and one or two do not release and you have to return with those "firecrackers" still on your aircraft. I think we would have plenty to chew!

actually, I would love to see the icing of the wings implemented.. I love new challenges not only in terms df-ing but also in just handeling a plane. The new navigational tools with wind effects is more than welcome.

Here's => http://www.jamesreese.org/hangarflying/ a nice series of articles concerning the P-38

Better mk108 damage.

Ive shot at fighters that only lost a elevator, rudder, or aileron.

A single hit should do more damage to fighter aircraft, and certainly at the wings, as a 30mm hit on the wings was fatal.

Ive shot at a p-51 two times with a mk108, and the aircraft still was in one piece.
After 3th hit the mustang fell apart.

Ive shot a tempest 1 time at the wing with the mk108, and he only lost a aileron and kept on flying.

A mk108 30mm hit at the wing should rip the wing off, at least for fighter aircraft.

Actually the wing stays on - but the receiving end will loose control of the plane.

You're dining with your comrades, eating borscht and drinking vodka, and suddenly you have to scramble because your field is being attacked. Then in the air you sometimes get disoriented and dizzy, and the next thing you know you have some strange substance all over your canopy from negative G's. It's like an alien invasion, the Blob is here to get you.

That would be a nice one, a chance that in a scramble mission, you're not feeling too well (or bound not to).

Would be hilarious if when you're taking aim, a thunderous HACHOOO throws your aim off, and your flight, in choir, yells GESUNDHEIT!

Actually a plane travelling in the air would be under constraints from the air and the probability that the wing breaks off after getting such damage is close to 100 %



Other effect of 1 MK108 round on a spitfire.

Hohoho!

The 30mm munition test shows the wing damage when the aircraft is stationary.

Under normal flight conditions the wing folds soon after impact, because the increased drag will weaken the damaged wing construction untill it falls apart.

You wont be able to control the airplane.

WW2 fighter aircraft simply arent big enough to withstand this kind of damage. Even large bombers needed only a few hits.
