Make more advanced damage effects

[wild current]

If your wing gets shot maybe some of your missiles become duds and stop working and a bullet hits the your rudder it will be stuck in that position type of stuff

[vagrant haven]

This would be sick but I think devs are done with damage as they have already created insane model

[worn dragon]

Damage model very good.
Tell more about your advanced effects idea, because for now this no enough info

[wild current]

I was thinking the aircraft when they take damage in certain areas some of the uses of the part stops or is messed up for example say the wing is shot you could make the weapons on the wings become unusable because they got damaged.
It would add a level of realism to the game plus can make combat more interesting.

Like this if the wing is damaged maybe your aileron stops working or gets stuck

[worn dragon]

Wow. Very interesting, i think this have much sense

The planes already have their performance damaged when they lose control surfaces.

Losing weapons to damage feel too RNG to sit well with most players. Short of losing a wing with all the weapons on it.

Mitch talked about this and said that the control surface actuators are electric motors. Maybe they are controlled via bluetooth/ redundant wires. So they would be harder to damage than currently existing control surfaces. No hydrolic leaks possible etc.

I like the idea of some bombs or missiles breaking if they get damaged. And it isn't really more RNG than the damage is anyway. Sometimes you can survive one IR missile, sometimes three. Sometimes a bomb survies a close SPAAG impact, sometimes not. It is dependant on minute differences.

Fun fact duds are modelled...kinda

If lets say your wing gets heavily damaged but doesnt come off the missiles will just despawn instead of launching

[glass gull]

its less resource heavy ig

[clever sparrow]

It feels like it would make combat more annoying

[rustic vapor]

I mean its also how it technically would work only thing remaining is to make it fall off when used

[hazy inlet]

The game needs to communicate this somehow or else new players would be confused as to why their weapon didnt fire.

[rustic vapor]

I mean realistically, how ? Beside showing the big ol' "HUNG STORE", and still a bunch of player wouldn't know what it means

[hazy inlet]

Big red text that says "MALFUNCTION. FAILED TO DEPLOY", or anything.
