Well although we at Project Reality Forums do not mandate that our members use proper grammer/spelling with their posts (everyone appreciates readable text

) ... trims post would look so... after a run through Microsoft Word:

I would think that a plane would be able to glide after being shot all to hell, so long as the wings are still mostly there, and the tail section could be completely gone and I would think that the plan would just fly in a rather unbalanced manner. My point is it would not necessarily just plow straight into the ground in a blaze of glory every time. I have heard stories of a more recent fighter jet used by the USAF, perhaps the F-15 or F-16, the damned thing lost a wing entirely and was still able to fly back to the air field that it came form (my source is the history channel so I would say that this actually happened) so maybe ea and dice are not so far off form what could happen maybe not all the time but some of the time.

There's that story of the IAF F-15 hitting an A-4, losing a wing and somehow making it back to base. Allegedly McDonnell Douglas didn't initially believe the story untill some of their people went and examined the aircraft. Not sure how true the story is, but I think there was a picture of a F-15 with only one wing. On Boeings site there is a blurb in the F-15K section about an F-15 landing with a partial wing.

some of the A-10s had some crazy damage taken during the first gulf war and still survived

BrokenArrow · 06-30-2005, 10:24 PM

well, considering an A-10 is like a flying tank haha

Irony is a bitch.

But I digress, I also hate DICE's plane crash physics. I also dislike how things just totally blow up in air. I haven't played BF2, but I imagine the planes simply explode as well. Correct my if I'm wrong.
