Tomcat death spin


Reflected

Some changes to this are in testing now, should be coming soon.

 

Can confirm Tomcat death spin is still an issue. Almost every time I get hit by a missile, I am unable to eject if both of the wings fall off because the Tomcat enters an unrealistic rapidly spinning dive, which renders the crew unconscious. I could understand not being able to eject in the event of crew death, but it doesn't seem realistic that the plane would suddenly start spinning extremely quickly with no wings. There isn't any rotational force applied to the body of the plane, so Newton's 1st law of physics is being broken here: no rotational force = no rotation on the aircraft.

A couple weeks ago I got hit by a missile and went into death-roll even with the wings intact!

It's the whole neutron star - spinning ballerina thingy mates!

Say you are in a slight roll with your wings on. A missile hits you, now you have no wings! The angular momentum steel needs conservation, right? ;)

It is conserved, the energy goes away with the wings.

 

Unless you go to a totally METAL ballet recital, their arms stay attached.

 

Me was trying to make a joke! :P

Cap's Grim Reapers video the other day basically covers this, the whole fuselage is one big hit box it seems.

 

 

It is not.

 

However, DCS splash damage applies damage to a very big area, so when you get hit by missiles, most of the damage cells take damage.
