Just out of interest I thought I'd try the Hannover, DFW and Fokker EIV in a vanilla install of BHAH II without either of the two patches in case one of the patches had thrown things out.

All three damaged themselves when the front guns were fired.

I tried the Rumpler and the Roland and really threw them around the sky firing and they were ok.

So it appears to be specific aircraft and on the basic sim, not patches.


"A great deal of an aeroplane could be holed without affecting its ability to fly. Wings and fuselage could be—and often were—pierced in 50 places, missing the occupants by inches (blissfully unaware of how close it had come until they returned to base). Then the sailmaker would carefully cover each hole with a square inch of Irish linen frayed at the edges and with a brushful of dope make our aircraft 'serviceable' again within an hour."
