Love the photo, Jman. Really hits home the point of small calibre ammunition versus an iron construction.
Yes...the hardest part is working with the (very) basic WBs damage model.

rifle caliber(7.7, 30,303, 7.9) vs 20mm Some 20mm was AP some HE and some minegeschoss..
Difficulties arise in the game when it comes to "explosive" shell damage as the game code says if you are explosive you automatically defeat "any" armor plate. This is why 110s could strafe down a DD...it defeated the armor plate and did damage when it should have been able to.
Examples of 20mm damage

Made it home but was written off.
So when working on plane/weapon models we are trying to get a good balance with the tools we have. Are they perfect..no way! Are they "close" sure. Do we need improvement...absolutely...and the work continues...
