Yes David,
There is something changed.

I have tested all loadouts on bombers and find that there is only damage to the elevators and rudder - never to the wings skin or fuselage.

Also, it doesn't seem to matter which loadout us used the results are the same.

109's smoke and burn with flames all along the wings but fuel tanks do not explode.

110's are almost impossible to shoot down regardless of the number of hits.

Something had changed.

Perhaps you had better post your findings in the bugs thread.

Yes, put it in the bugs thread please.
Now I need to change my ammo belts, as it might explain why a Spit was ignoring me online yesterday...

Yesterday, my Spitfire Ia_oct started burning after having been hit by a 109 with cannon and MG rounds. There was definite fire just behind the cockpit and a long trail of smoke behind my plane near Falkstone. However, I can´t tell whether it were the MG or the Cannon rounds making me burning like a candle. Took a pretty heavy burst into my fuselage, so I had to jump from the flamming wreckage.

I think luthier said that they reworked the various planes skins/A plates. I notice a difference but not a show stopper. I don't use incendiaries so cannot make a judgment on them.

David, I really hate to disagree with you, but I just tested the b-Beobachtung round. Using just the b-Beobachtung load, and limited to very short burst. The Rotol, Spit 1, Spit 1a all three pilots bailed out all most instantly. Maybe your issue is an on-line problem that the devs could look at. I think you should test the round as I did in off-line mode, just so that you can confirm my findings.

hey slipball!
no no no...no problem and good that you tested it yourself!
but,...before i posted this, i tested it offline to make sure its not only in online mode...and theres another strange thing,...offline the damage model seems to be indeed different to the online one(but that could be because of AI flying differently)

but, i shot at spits with only B-Beobachtung, and the spit didnt show no damage whatsoever, except, that the tailwheel catched fire...so the stupid AI bailed as well pretty quickly!BUT: the game didnt recognize the burning tailwheel as any damage, and when the spit went into the channel, the game message only showed that it crashed...(note: that was after i had shot a continous burst of about ~10seconds bullseye)

and this seems in fact the only visual damage the b-beobachtung is now capable off...no real damage whatsoever.you wont see any other damage.
plz try again,...im pretty confident that you come to the same conclusion!

PS: did you make sure, that you really have only B-Beobachtung in your belts??did you make your own mission for it, to garantuee not to have a wrong loadout?

EDIT:
slipball you are right this time!im right now uploading a vid....its really really strange...im not crazy and i know exactly what a saw the last two days...now i wanted to prove that im right and you are wrong, and the vid im now uploading will prove that you are right

the problem seems to be another issue...maybe a bug in the loadouts itself, that it gets too confused when you change types too often???i have no f***** clue whats going on there.
i swear yesterday B-Beobachtung had no effect at all neither online nor offline
the vid comes in a few minutes.

I know, the game can be funny...here is the damage shown seems about right for the ammo used, although when pilot hit the ground, no on screen announcement

I see many 109 burning and killing the pilot, but fuel tank never explodes anymore. Also if the pilot noses up befor they die, and the dies and respawns then the attacker doesnt get credit for pilot kill. Just says the pilot been killed

With alot of dewild ammo this is how most of my kills are happening now.
