I have never blown a wing off, or seen a plane blow up. I have sat right behind a spit just under its tail on many occasions and then slowy raised my nose and blasted it at point blank range with canons and mg's only to see the spit pull a hrad turn and start to battle with me. I have tried all different ammo load outs to the same effect. To me it seems something is definately wrong with the DM model.

I tested ammo as well and:

YES the DM really needs some work...dont get me wrong I dont want to cut a wing with just one cannon blast as we could occasionally do in IL-2 46 but the fact, that it's sometimes taking 3 or more attempts to shoot a target down (good hits on every single attemp for about 2-3 secs) isnt realistic IMO.

also tried differnent ammo on different planes...but some of the planes dont fall/explode whatever even when your putting endless lead into them...

havent seen a single in game blowup by the way...

hope 1C will do further work on this
