Daidalos Team's Room -QUESTIONS AND REQUESTS ONLY on IL2 Authorized Addons

.[/QUOTE]Stick itself is certainly one critical spot which, when hit successfully, will disable elevator and both ailerons. It does not matter if cables, rods of FBW is used. I do not know how exactly are hitboxes placed and which compromises had to be done to keep computer requirements on reasonable level. We all will have to live with it until new game engine comes. Just remember that this behaviour is not unique to FW190.[/QUOTE]

Agreed. I understand it's a limitation of a game and how hit boxes work but I think you can agree it's a pretty more implementation of what a complex damage model is and can be. It's very unique to the FW. In the 8 years I've been flying this I have yet to experiece all three axis wiped out in any other plane. Why not address that issue instead of continuing to built more airplanes which potentially introduce yet more problems?

Selfsealing works. Case closed..

Not a very complete test... Did you try it on other planes and compare the time? Also I've had it seal on occasion. There are times it never seals even with 100% fuel the plane is empty in minutes. Like 2-3 to be exact. It's not a feeling and I'm not making it up. Try it again I can assure you its there. If it doesn't show up in the QMB then try it online.

Flaws in my logic. Check the records... I pointed out several problems some of which have been agreed to in this very thread. So wake up a bit and look around before you cast stones about logic.

I only applied this theory to another weapon with low % to hit air targets (or at least I think it has low %, I did not verify it), outcome -according to your theory- was that weapon should be more accurate. If you disagree with this, you disagree with your own theory.

Apples and Trash Cans. Try to keep on track here. Just throwing in some random large caliber gun for AA to prove your point has nothing to do with the issue I pointed out. The simple fact is and remains .50cals are very accurate inherently add it six mounted weapons and they have a poorer percentage of hitting that the 4 wing mounted counterparts. At least I'm going off of my experience at the moment. I will have to get you some real stats. I usually hit on average 10%-18% with cannons and mixed MGs like FWs. Same amount of weapons mind you. My average drops down around 6-8 percent with 50s and yes I do know how to shoot.

I hope you understand now why I used BK3.7 as example, if not, I will try to elaborate more..

I understand you used a large caliber very low rate of fire weapon as your example which is nothing like an MG which ROF can make a tremendous difference in terms of hitting percentage. Regardless you've chosen to ignore it so be it. At least people know where you stand.

No feelings, no personal experience from past years, nothing just because it was repeated thousand times, no earlier problems. Situation now, hard proof. This paragraph is not aimed at JG27CaptStubing only, I just wanted to use this occasion to write it before number of such requests for changes explodes and this thread turns into "red vs blue" battlefield.

I agree things must be stated and then backed up with some documentation or at least some simple testing that illustrates the issue. Didn't take much for your counterpart to figure out 47s Doras Tempests can easily break the sound barrier. That was done with a simple test.

My suggestion is before you jump on the bandwagon and become defensive try being open minded. There are many many posts about the 50s alone.

At one point we were told by Oleg the Muzzle Flash problem couldn't be fixed until a new engine. They where eventually fixed so please don't use that as an excuse. He has access to the Code.

I just hope you guys focus on fixing outstanding issues instead of adding more with new planes and new things. Let the sim catch up. It will make for a better product.
