That might explain why devs made destroyed planes to always explode in the air in SH5. That limitation was removed by TheDarkWraith with one of his hardcoded patches, but I wonder if anyone has ever made extensive tests on aircraft sinking dynamics since the release of that patch :hmmm:

But I will try to change this setting (rebound coefficient), thanks for the advise. :up: I saw it too, but it's only 0,05, so I decided to not try to change it. But, we never know with this strange hardcode ...

:up:
Try both to reduce and increase it please, and see if it makes any difference.

Exactly ! I was watching an allied training film dealing with that problem a few months ago. :yep:

If you are talking about a wartime US training film on air torpedoes, then we have probably watched the same video :03:

You must be talking about bouncing bombs

Air torpedoes were subject to the same problem. I don't think they could bounce back against their dropper, but IIRC their tendency to ricochet once they touched the sea surface, affected negatively their depth control system.

Nice screenie, but I think that Swordfish has missed the right timing to release his fish :03:
