C'mon Luthier and the team, surely this can not be accurate??? Ive seen what a .303 round can do - most if not all of my hits were to the wings, in line with the engines. I could have sawed a wing off i hit it that many times!!



Lets keep a scorecard - what's your record - most hits without downing a plane???
Thats absolutely accurate and realistic... I've seen photos of Do 17's with that many holes that landed back in france..

KEY POINT: "HOLES" do not bring down aircraft... holes in important things ON THOSE AIRCRAFT do.. HO an He111 and hit the cockpit hard and you will kill the pilot and navigator with a short burst.. hit cooling lines..his fuel tanks... You are too used to seeing planes go BOOM! when you shoot at them..that for the most part is arcade game results.. many planes slowly lost altitude on the way home and when the crew realized they could not make it they had to ditch or bail.
