Can't see it myself. I have flown several dogfighting type missions and it would appear to me that the damage modelling is pretty durn good.
They are hard to hit and when I do hit them I'm lucky to see small pieces of aircraft flying away. I did apparently hit a fuel tank on one and the fire was obvious, but it did not blow up by any stretch of the imagination.
Now the balloons are another matter entirely................
I am going to try playing with some options to see if that makes a difference. I have almost all the gameplay stuff on HARD.
I agree...but then I was accused, in a round about way, of being a bad shot.
I still get the kills they just don't blow apart with near the regularity others seem to be getting.
