Damage model is rubbish!

worst as in blazing angels "is better", which i personally cant stand.

i can kinda see where sod is coming from. i started a thread about this a few days back. the thing im disappointed about is that we were 'promised' a damage system the same as il2 on pc and its lacking in that respect.

Thank you! exactly what i mean, now that i know they promised that i can go on for days... The wheels not falling off alone is failblog content.

sod, why don't you post this in the suggestion to devs thread? it could be as simple as "please incorporate enhanced damage model similar to pc version for possible title update." then give your example about the wheels falling off.

seriously, that's the place to make your case. anton said they are making note of the suggestions there. if it won't happen, he might go so far as to explain why the model was built the way it is.

just trying to suggest a constructive approach to this...

The game in simulation mode is far from arcade like. Personally I couldn't care less what the damage model looks like as long as the feeling of flight is simulated and believe me this game succeeds in leaps and bounds. I presume you are flying from 3rd person - outside the cockpit? That would explain a lot.

If you're looking for explosions and eye-candy perhaps you should stick to Gears, Halo, Burnout Paradise, those types of games?

I dont just play plane simulators, i play more simulators then you'd image, even crappy train ones, IM not so worried about visual damage, but since its a simulator it should have speed effect your plane, infact pulling something like 10g's in a tight turn in a crappy 1940's plane should rip your wings appart... but thats far too picky. Who said im looking for explosions, if you read what i said, i clearly stated damage and careless flying does nothing to the simulation model as it did in the previous game.

And clearly the PC die hards will never be satisfied with BoP. Just because wheels don't rip off at high speed ,which I doubt was common, and the damage model is not as good as PC versions makes it arcade like?

And you called somebody simple minded? That's rich.

Being simply minded here il give you a real meaning:
simple-minded
Adjective
2. (of opinions or explanations) not taking the complexity of an issue or subject into account

You clearly cant see what im saying / sugesting and just taking it as offence.

Common enough for big warning stickers in the cockpits about lowering gear and flaps above certain speeds. 200mph is enough to destroy most things apart from airbrakes
