Incredible damage model!

[Raven (Elysian Angel)]

Hey,

 

 

I just wanted to voice my appreciation for the work that went into the damage model for the Hornet. I cannot stay silent about how superb this module is, setting a new bar for upcoming modules.

 

 

Two examples:

 

 

 

1. I took some shrapnel damage from an R-27 that exploded very close to my aircraft. If you look closely, you can see the radome through the holes in the nose:

 

 

 

2. Tonight a few friends and myself did some formation flying practice. One of them collided with me, shearing half a wing off his aircraft and taking one of my vertical stabilisers with him:

I returned to base and landed without major incidents.

 

Thank you, ED and BST! :thumbup:

i also lost a vertical stabiliser today, in an instant mission, and having shot down the guilty party, i was all good to find an airport and land. However, as you might have found, when you drop the flaps, the rudders, or rudder in my case, go toe-in and that caused a fair bit of yaw, that i had to address with loads of opposite trim.

 

i did manage to get down on the ground, albeit off to the side of the runway, but having inspected the damage I was pretty impressed.

good thing you had that spare vertical stab....

Lol, I think "taking a step outside" might have been my only option without it. ;)

The part that has the hole in it is the Radome, what you see inside is the radar :)

It looks like that some types of damages dont really affect aircraft at all.

You can lose literally half your airframe and still keep flying. Move over A-10, there's a new flying tank in town 8)
