Aircraft Damage System (Specifically jets)

It's merely a cosmetic change, which I'm not against, but I would like to see something that brings a bit of balance in jet and AA combat, maybe a slightly longer lock-on time or even some degree of RNG whether the missile hits or doesn't. Of course the system is quite f**ked as it is a vBF2 thing but still, I feel like the changes that were made some time ago to the AA and lock on have made CAS a lot less desirable for players

Increases survivability of the pilots, not the jets, I don't want an instant death on my name because of splash damage or some BS AA that 1 taps me (Following 'Alon's principle')

What about the RWR 1 second delay?

You only get the lock message when its fully locked and not while-locking, its not a "delay". If you don't pre-flare while flying over AA you deserve to be shot down. This is unlikely to change.

Missiles sometimes refusing to redirect to flares is a different issue that I might look into in the future.

Imagine a script that cuts jet respawn in half if the pilot manages to get back to the jet spawn alive after parachuting out of a burning jet.

- shouldnt be cut in half
- should maybe be lowered by 25%
- also for crewman

Seriously, this would be awesome. It would add a lot of exciting tension trying to get back to your base alive after losing a vehicle.

1.6.0.0 you could hear different lock sound when someone was trying to lock you...

That was actually really good accidental change.

agreed, is there anyway we can keep this?

Like it gives the sound 1 second before complete lock or less, I'd even appreciate .5 seconds
