War Thunder News - "Revolutionäre Schadensmodelle für Flugzeuge: Su-25 und A-10A als Vorreiter!"
Es gibt eine neue News zu dem Steam Game War Thunder vom 07.04.2023. Folgendes hat dabei der Entwickler von War Thunder veröffentlicht:
Problems with Damage Models of Su-25 and A-10A Attackers
Recently, players reported issues with the damage models of the Su-25 and A-10A attackers. The damage caused by the striking elements of anti-aircraft missiles was not consistent. After careful study, the developers found and fixed the problems. The corrections will also refine the damage models for other aircraft from kinetic hits from close bursts of guided missiles and artillery rounds.
A-10A Damage Model Refinements
The A-10A had a problem where the tail section of the fuselage would frequently tear off, and both engines would be destroyed. Damage to the front of the fuselage did not result in significant damage to the aircraft. The developers have fixed this issue. Now, depending on the angle, a close burst of a guided missile or a hit in the rear hemisphere will result in damage or failure of one of the engines rather than both at once. Hits in the forward hemisphere will now be more likely to damage control rods as well as other internal modules of the aircraft. The probability of damage to internal modules increases if the fuselage has already been heavily damaged. These refinements will affect all aircraft in the game.
Su-25 Damage Model Refinements
The Su-25 had a problem where the engines could withstand considerable damage from close bursts and kinetic elements due to an error in the damage calculation. The developers found and fixed this problem. Now, depending on the angle and power of the shell or missile, hitting the rear of the fuselage will more often cause one of the engines to fail. Direct hits between the engines or on other critical modules will lead to fatal damage of the aircraft. Hits to the front part of the fuselage are more likely to disable control mechanisms and internal components.
Survivability of Su-25 and A-10A
Both aircraft have a good chance of surviving a hit from a small SAM or other small caliber guided missile. However, direct hits from large caliber guided missiles with considerable explosive weight and number of submunitions will always lead to the defeat of any aircraft, including the Su-25 and A-10A, for which such missiles have been created.
Fly confidently, trust your aircraft, but remember that even the strongest aircraft has limits on survivability. Good hunting!
