Sometimes you just say: WOW!

I was flying BARCAP this afternoon and sent an attacking Su-25T down in.....tiny pieces parts. The pilot did not eject. Sometimes I just love the damage modeling--especially when it's the other guy's aircraft on display:

hehe yep, it's impressive for sure and some of the other ones I've noticed (though not as extensive, though the A-10 model was nicely done when I collapsed the gear on a real hard landing earlier) and it's looking better as they go along..

I agree the damage model is wicked ...but the sad part about the mud moving in lomac is that the ground vehicles have no freakin damage model at all. You know...its soo satisfactory to bust a tank and see its turret cartwheel across the plain. :p

but the transition from a brand new tank to that ...which u just showed is like "DIRECT" ... .poof....yellow orange ribbons...with white polka dots ...then u get this model. I am talking about the transition to this model.

 

Well...hopefully ED understand this....its a second addon which focuses on mud moving and ED really need to give us a good damage model so that we can enjoy the damage we are causing. In either case, they delayed the game anyways....might as well add this in. :D

The real question is what the hell were you doing flying a BARCAP mission anyway?

I got lost?... :)

 

OK Rich, sorry to have to ask this but What is BARCAP? I've looked through my abrv list but cant see it.

BARrier Combat Air Patrol. A CAP is usually flown over or close to the object/area to be protected. A BARCAP is flown farther out as a barrier across the anticipated direction of enemy attack to give added protection to the object/area. Now that you mention it, I haven't seen the acronym used in quite awhile. Probably not since long-range missiles came into play, which makes sense. My age is showing, I guess (sigh).

Funny you should mention that, real bad landing I guess you would say, though at the angle I would have clipped the main gear off but hey, this is bad enough don't you think?

Eric, didn't your mother teach you to eject BEFORE you were upside down with the water coming up fast? :)

:D trust me man, all of a sudden it was like "OH &*^%!" and I was rotating towards the water, and was like "I'm in a K-36 seat, I'll be allright!" so I had to eject before I "died". And in saying that, my Mom understands since I use such a seat :thumbsup:
