What are your favorite combat flight simulators?
you would think engines could take a hit since they are redundant
>>727500193Maybe it's a kind of death spiral effect. Like one engine gets taken out and suddenly the aircraft is slower and less maneuverable, making it more likely to be shot again
>>727500193It turns out it's hard to fly 500-1000km with your engine burning while sustaining other damage.
>>727499904>my child will reinforce areas with red dots>my child will reinforce areas with no red dots
I'd just reinforce no areas and use the materials to build more planes instead
>>727500193they're not redundant, they need that many to overcome the weight of them (and themselves)
>>727500851So just make the whole thing smaller and you only need one engine
>>727500804Great way to run out of pilots
>>727500193If there's an engine fire, there's a decent risk that it will spread and cut the wing off etc.Also, having less engines means that your remaining engines will have to do more work and can overheat.And it's easy to shoot the engines first, then finish the kill when it's already wounded.In the end, there's very few places in a plane that can sustain damage and continue flight.
>>727500913>In the end, there's very few places in a plane that can sustain damage and continue flight.Look at the OP.
>>727500735>my child will not reinforce it at all
>>727500193Yeah. That's why they put four of them on there. The original design just had two and it performed just fine. Then someone said "Fuck it. Put two more on." for no particular reason. He just liked four.
>>727499904Ah fuck my plane got measles
Min maxed armor... the wrong way
>enemy starts like 1000km away and by the time he gets to you to bomb you, he's flying so high that you can't possibly intercept in timeHow is this shit allowed? Can the devs fix this meta please?
>>727499904I hate this retarded babies first math statistics meme.
>>727499904The original IL-2 by Maddox was crazy good, with a branching campaign and a bunch of stuff. I heard the series went arcady after that, but that was the only game that made me go out and buy purpose peripherals to play.
>>727501061хopoшo, иcпpaвлeнo
>>727501030>drop bombs>plane is suddenly a lot lighter
>>727501061Sounds like skill issue.Just buy more radars, invest into proximity fuse for AA guns and buy better fighters.
>>727501038Relax, it will go away.
>>727500735>damage in red dot area, repairs deemed low priority, plane cleared inspection
>>727501061make your own bombers :^)
>planesGet that boomer shit out of here. It's the age of drones, baybee.
>>727501061That's why when I become a dictator my first priority is achieving air superiority through giant sheets of flypaper
>>727501418>dronessoulless
>>727499904qrd?

>>727501182>soviet AA>hitting anything other than civilian airliners
>>727501182The funny thing about Russian equipment is that nobody can take it seriously cause we've seen how those perform
>>727501842Armata performs really well, with stealth so advanced it was never detected on battlefield
>>727500913>spread and cut the wing off Well there's four wings as well, surely they are also redundant.
>>727501454it's a reddit thread
>>727501454People report what THEY think needs to be fixed.instead of more accurate research on why x thing failed.It applies to casualties of war, but also failing systems/industry in general.
>>727501842>haha fucking russia LMAO fuck russia roflcopter>WATCH OUR FOR RUSSIA FUCK SHIT PISSS REEEEEEEEEIf fuckers could make up their minds or just admit they're all faggots pushing for more goybucks I'd be happy.
>>727501842People forgot just how many lives soviet-supplied AA took in Vietnam.The ministry of defense rated Hanoi as having better air coverage than Berlin at its peak in relative terms.
>>727501454Since a 6 minute youtube video is not a qrd:Planes come back from bombing runs, engineers look at which parts of the plane to armor, dumb stupid engineers who suck go "armor the parts that got hit the most" (red parts in the image), smart sexy genius engineer says "NO armor the other parts because the planes who got hit there never came back"And his name? Albert Einstein
>>727502136Yeah turns out it's scary when the nation next door throws millions of men into a war when your entire continent is nearly demilitarized by now
>>727502148>how many lives soviet-supplied AA took in VietnamVery cool. How many S-400s did they have in Vietnam, since that's what we're talking about?
>>727500193Presumably the feed from the same tanks so fire or leaks in one will still mess you up. I'm more surprised that the rear is so vital even though the tail can take a beating.
>>727502378One huge problem is also that an engine fire WILL spread to the wings, and to the tanks like you said>rearOne elevator being shot still means you can just about fly by wrestling the plane. Note how the rudder is NOT optional, no red at all towards the rear of the elevators>tailGuessing the forces on it means it will break off if you turn after it has sustained damage
>>727502351You mean S-75s, the direct precursor to the S-400s?A few dozen batteries, downing at least 200 planes including a couple B52s, retard.
>>727501762Somehow Ukraine have more aircraft lossess than Russia. 30 more airframes.And for some reason ukrainian aircrafts are not flying in russian controlled zones...
>>727502576>You mean S-75sI do not. See >>727501182Keep coping and getting your S-400s shot by drones, Ivan. No more (you)s for your desperate whataboutism
>>727502632>rocket made to shoot high flying planes and balistic missiles>somehow is destroyed by small low flying droneIt's a mystery how it happened
>>727502632You think Russians would have anachronous weapons in the last comparable major conflict they were used?Why is that relevant?
>>727502378> I'm more surprised that the rear is so vital That image and most of the related story is made up.
>>727502632The dude was talking about vietnam, ivan.
>>727500890reinforce the pilots, ez
>laugh at S-400>zigger goes MUH VIETNAM>3 posts later: why is that relevant??!?!?Yeah.
I swear to fucking god if I click on this thread and it already turned into- GOD FUCKING DAMMIT
>>727502782Quote me, pussy. You haven't even made an argument beyond MUH GREENTEXT.
>no flying boat vidya
yes ivan we know you're raiding
>>727502902
>>727502934>he's still to chickenshit to directly quote and arguelol ok fag. Mocking people doesn't work if you look like a bitch in the attempt.
>>727501762>>727501842>>727502351>>727502632Deflect all you like, but Soviet/Russian AA has a good track record just like US jets have a good track record.Similarly Soviet/Russian jets are dogshit while US AA are dogshit.
>>727503175>while US AA are dogshitThis. Su-25s took out like 30 Patriots lmao
How did these bombers even manage to take such a beating before going down? I thought planes had to be precision engineered to even get off the ground, but these things could be turned into swiss cheese still manage to do their mission and fly back home
I wish they would make a single player version of war thunder, with actual missions and stuff
>>727505140They're working on it: Aces of Thunder. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2754090/Aces_of_Thunder/
>>727505140Before War Thunder they made Wings of Prey and Birds of Steel. These games are basicaly War Thunder Offline.
>>727505049I believe this is a heatmap produced from a bunch of planes so none of those planes took that many shots.
>>727500193The ones that took a hit probably didnt come back
>>727506689It's not a heatmap
