Late-War Movie for new hit sprite explosion effects

[Mugzeee]

Ecliptic.
Nice level headed assessment sir. And likely the most accurate. We seem to forget the fact that the real pilots had to constantly deal with the effects of the G's  negitive and positive all the while trying to survive a life threatning event. Thanks

RedDog, those were all Axis aircraft being shot, other than the P-51D that seemed to have either cut in or have a shoulder shooter (the P-51 with the camera).

Rgr that, now that I looked at it again:o

They have icons turned off, I'm sticking to that yeah.

Lets not forget that spending just 2 months in AH2, we gain more experience and have many many lives to expend.

these guys had one chance, the majority probably never flew more than a few combat mission before they died.

ACM was not top of their list of priorities, the number one thing they knew how to do was either run away or BnZ.

if they had the air war of WW2 again, and we all joined, it would be very interesting

great film mitsu, thanks

[Rino]

Nice find Mitsu

[FiLtH]

I prefer seeing damage in here, rather than poking holes in the plane like ww2ol. I like the carnage.

[mechanic]

i agree filth, its hard enough to down a plane in here with rubber bullets and warps let alone if the planes get a titanium re-skin

The thing that always amazes me about these films, is the absolute devastation 6 or 8 .50's can do to the target with just a short burst.


In that respect, I have always felt that 50 cals were a little undermodeled in AH. Anyone else with me on that?

Also, look at how many hits that B-17 is taking to it's engines, wing , ball gunner and body and remaining in tact pretty much.....although I'm sure people inside where being cut to peices.

[Mitsu]

M2 guns are overmodelled in R/L too...

>Mitsu - where did you find this film?

I've received this film from Japanese Player who plays WW2OL.

That P-51 almost got the shooter kill-shootered.

That was a Japanese bomber under fire from American aircraft, using, no doubt, the Browning .50s you just remarked about.  I think maybe a Helen and a Peggy.

All of this footage is American footage of Axis aircraft being attacked.

[NUKE]

ahh, thanks Karnak.

[mechanic]

is confusing sometimes, the first looks very much like a jug in the line of fire.

what prooves it is that its in colour. America were the only ones to use colour film, am i correct?

[NUKE]

I swear, I just watched it again and that B-17 was not in there........the one that was being raked back and forth all over it's wings, engines, ball gunner.

Was this edited?

I know that footage has been posted in the past, but it wasn't in this clip.  I downloaded this one last night and watched it then.  The aircraft IDs were done off of memory.  There is a boxy twin engined aircraft that looks somewhat like a B-25 and caught on fire quickly that I think was a Helen (Ki-48, IIRC).  There is another twin that is blurrier and seemed more resistant.  I think that may have been a Peggy (Ki-67), it is a harder guess on my part.

The one I saw was the same you have seen of the b-17 taking a long pattern of hits as it flew straight and level.

Unless I accidently saw the old clip again, I could swear I saw it in that video .
