Mustang Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Not sure if this has been mentioned elsewhere in the bugs section but has anyone else found the F-5 damage model to be exceptionally resilient to missile hits? My experience has been during multiplayer fighting against other clients, it takes at least 2 missiles (sometimes 3) to finish off this tiny jet and if you hit the F-5 with only 1 missile he will always fly away with only a little bit of smoke trailing behind him almost unaffected.

Paganus Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Are you hitting it in the tail? I've noticed tail pipe hits are not as effective as airframe hits on several aircraft. F-5, Sabre, and MiG-15 all come to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas_From_Hell Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Can't say I've had that experience, missile or gun hits usually destroy the plane and kill the pilot whenever I'm inside it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razo+r Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I've already survived a few missiles hits but either the second one killed me or my engines died later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aries144 Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 It seems to work fine on my end in multiplayer. I take a hit to the rear when flying the F-5 and lose my elevators. I hit an F-5 with an R-60 and don't seem to have any issue with effect. If they don't go down immediately, they're crippled. I find the Mig-21 to be a little more durable, but not extraordinarily so.

What server were you playing on? In 104th server, but with further investigations it seems the AIM-120 is at fault the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Well if you're firing AIM-120s at F-5Es, they need all the help they can get :D Firing a single R-60 at an F-5 from a MiG-21 almost always results in a kill for me.

OperatorJack Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I've noticed all sorts of aircraft tanking missile hits, it's not exactly an F-5 specific problem /да бойз/ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemoen Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I find that while I survive missile hits often, my fuel tanks don't and I will be out of fuel in about 20s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
