Re: Does the plane have weak point ?

@Roadmay Ok strap yourself in mate because I'm about to take you on a plane 'fly-through' that will get you kicking chocks and taking stock in no time 🙂

Here are the most effective weak points for each aircraft

Bombers/Mosquitos

When going after bombers, you want to target the engine on the inside of whatever turn they're making (if they're going left, shoot the left).

This will cause he plane to dip in that direction and the pilot will have to try leveling it out, most of the time, they'll over compensate and so the plane becomes a rickety pinata for you to take good shots on the other engine.

The other reason to do this is because if they're in the gunner seat, the radical dip in the plane will force them into the pilot seat and thus removes the gun fire on you.

The engines immediately net you a sweet 45 damage as not only do you get vehicle disable points but also engine disable specific points pluss all the damage it took before you disabled it....this could net you on 1 engine a sweet sweet 80+ damage to the bomber.

Secondary weak spots which are not as effective unless they are close to the ground, mountains, etc is the wings, elevator and rudder. The reason I say not as effective is you have to remember the Blenheim, Ju88 and Mosquitos are lumbering beasts that cant maneuver well anyway, so while disabling wings, rudder, etc might get you some points, it wont have that devastating destructive damage that taking out an engine will. If you get an Engine quick enough, you can drop a bomber faster than they can bail out, something you can't do with wings alone.

Also on a side note, a mosquito running the upgraded engines has a constant speed faster than a G6 using NoS, taking out the engines is a must in order to keep the Mosquito from making a break for the repair station and keeping away from you.

Stukas

Unlike the bigger bombers, you'll want to take out the Stuka's elevator as a priority, while you may not get the high damage points you'd get off an engine, the engine being at the front will be harder to hit.

By taking out the elevator you just made the Stuka struggle to do the one thing it can do well...climb! By taking away the ability for the stuka to climb effectively, you've now put yourself in the advantages position of avoiding the Stuka from angling vertical and being able to light you up with the rear guns. As long as you stay under the aircraft at a steep angle, it wont be able to hit you and you have free reign to unleash hell on the undercarriage.

Wings would be second priority as to not allow the stuka to turn sideways to rear gun you but keep in mind, damaged wings can cause a Stuka to involuntarily lose control and plummet, which will make you lose the kill.

Fighters

WINGS! WINGS! WINGS!.....did I mention wings? Yes wings are going to be your greatest ally and most hated enemy, as you'll love shooting them but hate them being shot off you.

Without wings a fighter can become almost as bad as being dead in the water, it'll lose the ability to keep someone lined up effectively, it's turning will become as cumbersome as trying to U-turn a bus in a 1-way lane during peak hour traffic and it's speed will drop faster than Bill Cosby's book deal.

If you want a sure fire way to ruin a fighters day and take them out of the equations, go for the wings! Elevators and rudder don't even come close to the ball park in effectiveness compared to the wings.

Just as an FYI to anyone running the radar on the VA....you need to lose it and get wing armor, that 40% extra protection WILL mean the difference in winning and losing, as apposed to the radar which will make you fly predictably and so any good pilot will be able to counter it. Stop using the radar as a  crutch and invest in your 2 ears to hear where the enemy is and what they're doing with their engine

I hope this has given you a bit more insight into the weak points of aircraft and how best to utilize this knowledge more effectively when combating different classes of aircraft 🙂
