I seem to recall seeing a photograph of a Se5a with a wheel shot off. Cue ack emmas running around frantically waving arms and pointing when you come into land ! Will this DM apply to all planes?
Yes, it will. I have shot off landing gear several times on different planes. The new damage modeling changes are a big improvement. There's also no more of the dreaded all four wings exploding off at the same time effect due to bullet strikes. Now I have seen planes totally disintegrate in mid air collisions, but even that effect is markedly different and looks very realistic. It all looks much more natural.
