IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad

Tank Crew Damage Model
I have seen a portion of what the damage model is like on youtube, but I have yet to find anyone actually breakdown the full extent of the damage your tank can take. Does anyone know what components can be damaged as in tracks, sights, engine, etc?

I don't know that the DM is final yet, but I have seen the engine and tracks get knocked out for sure. I have also had crew killed, rendering whatever it was they were supposed to be doing un-doable. It is hard to say if their station is damaged as well when this happens. This often means once a tank is penetrated it is likely combat ineffective, especially seeing as there is no repair function in game just yet. As I understand it this is somewhat historical, once a tank took a hit that got past the armor most of them were abandoned.

As more development time is put in things are likely to change though.

Also if you run into things (or things run into you) the engine can stall out.
don't forget TC is Early Access and going to be full of issues and changes.

it doesn't release until next year.

so much will change.

look how Box has improved this year.

Two damn years early access. And? Nothing! Still the same DM and Gearbox. Now pay $69 and hope for much better DM and manual Gearbox - lol

And this automatic Gearbox and DM ugh Disgusting now for $69 - WTF are they serious?

The tanks haven't been in development for that long. The original tanks in the game were a side project of some of the dev team, worked on when they had a little free time. It is only recently that the tanks have been allotted official dev time.

Tank Crew entered Early acces not more than a month ago. Calm your tits dude.

Side Project -> The new Tiger tank doesn't look better than the two tanks three years before him. Same DM, automatic Gearbox........................................

It doesn't look like they plan with Tank Crew a real Tank Sim with the same Quality DM how the planes have. Doesn't matter if the tanks are destroyed by plane or tank the DM is the same no difference. If I destroy the tanks with my plane I have no problems with the DM how it is only if I fly planes. But if I play tanks and destroy another tank with my tank just to I see the same damn DM makes me really made.

The problem I don't expect they change something..............I compare it just with BoS, BoM, BoK, BoBP Early Access the DM from the planes were 100% finished with their release in early access.................The Tiger tank in early access hasn't better DM as the two tanks released three years ago before him..............For Free it's ok but for $69 no thanks

Entered early acces not more than a month ago are you sure? - The tanks were since their release in early access state. All who played the damn three years these two tanks were the testing crowd for the payed Version "Tank Crew".

With Tank Crew follow more playable tanks in what state same as three years before............

To be more accurate it were "three years" With Patch v1.105 in November 24, 2015 they released playable tanks. If you not believe it look for Patch v1.105 notes or look at the date when he uploaded that youtube video. BTW look at the Quality from the tanks, too

the new tanks are *far* superior to the old one's. the t34 and pziii will be updated accordingly.

the 2/3 year nonsense is just that. nonsense.

The 2/3 years count as nothing done........still the same issue appear not fixed........in tank crew still appear........and will appear..................





but tanks previous to TC were an in house experiment released to gauge interest, very little time/effort was spend on them after initial release afaik.

also, TC is in very ealy development, it should change drastically over the development, I don't understand why you fail to grasp this.

it's not fully released rather is there for fans to support development.

Wrong.
The 2 tanks were just a side project and as a gimmick in the game.
This is a flight simulation.
If enough people think it's good to control tanks, they'd consider what to do in that direction.
This was decided with tank crew and only since THEN are the tanks in early acess
