Based on a theory I had come up with I’ve created a test project to conclude that each shot to a specific part from a wing gun produces a random ammount of damage, for instance the regular fusalage can sometimes only take 3 hits while other times it can take 5...Im not complaining or anything, nothing wrong with it I just think its interesting.
Let me know what you think :)

@Noname918181 oh ok
Ok interesting, now that I can use beta testing I’ll see what I can modify to make armored plates for tanks and such @Noname918181
@hafydays ok so im late but i know one thing. Making your fuselage heavier can increase its survivability to missiles
Sams dont use explosion to kill, it uses sreong force in this game
@Zanedavid I don’t actually mind it too much. It gives the effect of a s hitting something vulnerable which makes the plane crash quicker. What would be cool is being able to change the caliber of machine guns like you can now with cannons and also being able to limit how much ammunition they have
Haha I tried tagging a mod or someone to have this get noticed for a possible fix but alas... @Mustang51
This is so odd but it answers so many questions I’ve had! I guess it means the damage dealt by guns is random
@Zanedavid okay
It doesn’t appear so, it still seems random, however I think somewhere in the code when creating a new design it does resets on damage, this might come into play if something glitches, just another theory though @hafydays
I’ll give this a test haha @hafydays
@Zanedavid oh its okay, but I have a theory, probably not accurate but, I think the larger the fuselage, the stronger the fuselage... I think.... can you prove it?
@TheEpicMOONHAWK thx dude
I wasn’t expecting this to get this much attention but I think it’s just something the developers overlooked? Or maybe there’s a actual reason?
Thank you for the spotlight @Ryn176 @Axartar
I don’t know why the damage rating is like this for certain things, I just had a theory no explanation sorry :( @hafydays
@jacephysicsboss it's "damage"
What is the XML name for gun damage
As a XML modder the wing gun goes from 5 to 35 damage.
I don't really know the exact number this just observations tests from like a year ago
@plane918273645 hey call down I'm just giving advice for others not to have troubles with mods... I always have troubles do I learn from my mistakes and I give tips to others ok?
Hey that is in line with the rules, he is not spamming, it is on topic with this build and might not require a full forum ok? @WarHawk95
Neat!
@WarHawk95 oh, well as you can see IM NEW SO IDK A LOT OF THINGS (the odds1sout scream) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
@hafydays you could make a forum for that...
@WarHawk95 b-b-but I just wanted answers...
@hafydays look at the rules : "do not spam other builds with links to your stuff"
