Somethign other then the rediculoous way its modeled now. LOL

I'd honestly rather just die outright then to have PW the way they are done now.

Get hit. Usualy dont have enough time to even try to disenguyage before you ALWAYs go into TOTAL Black out less then 5 seconds later.
And you ALWAYS black out on final approach to land.
Typically about 5 seconds before you touch down.

Ok yea the PW should distract you from what your trying to do. I can buy into that.
But total black out,witin a few seconds, every time?

Do it gradually or by severity. Maybe start with a head weave making it harder ot look forward. But C'mon with this total blackout stuff already.

Its the only part of the game I absolutely loath

Especially when it's that single .303 that manages to punch through your armored rear bulkhead and graze your shoulder.

Greetings,

I tend to get a lot of pilot wounds (okay, the giggling can stop now). I have noticed sometimes it is quick, black out frequently with little time between, to long periods with short black out. The time period between and the length of 'sleep' become shorter and longer respectively over time.

Regards,

To me it seems like it tied into airspeed. The next time you get a pw, even if you arent near a runway, slow down, drop flaps, gear, and see how quickly the b/os come. Irritating. Sometimes I just auger to spite Hitech's PW code

But if you notice, as soon as you take a PW you get total blackout within a few seconds of taking it. Often giving you no time to try to disenguage.

And if your in a loop of any kind the only option is to hit auto pilot so you can hold nice and still for whomever happens to be in the area.
the only other option is to do nothing only to see the ground 2 feet in front of and rushing at you fast you just when the blackout wears off.

I hate it. Personally Id rather just die outright rather then have it like it is now.

I seem to remember when PWS were first introduced. Often it would start out with your view wolbbeling back and forth and blackout starting to come in but not total. And it got progressively worse over time.

This seems to make much more sence then going into total naptime,,EVERY time.

another option might be when wounded and blackout comming on make it so you have to press and hold one or two buttons at the same time to simulate both thew distraction a wound would cause and trying to fight off both the pain and /or blacking out.

Anything...ANYTHING but the way we have it now

I like the 2buttons Idea.... It would signify that you are "fighting the pain" or "applying first aid" or what ever... While you still have to fly your plane..
The black outs would still come, but slower and progressively...

From what I understand, the duration and length of blackouts (and the time length before you bleed out) is randomly generated, BUT, when wounded if you pull Gs you will increase the blackout frequency. I've had a lot of PWs where I didn't black out for 20-30 seconds, and some where I blackout in 2 seconds and bleed out in 20.

It's random, but once you see the blood STOP pulling Gs. You'll live longer.

Frankly, I think it would be just quicker and more convenient if the buff gunners didn't have to fire their guns - get within 600 of a buff and suffer pilot wound automatically.

Pretty much what we have now.

BAIL OUT!!! OMG EDDIE BAIL OUT!!!! BAIL OUT!!!!!

I started pulling negative Gs once and my pilot quit blacking out, I was suprised and pulled up then blacked out..whoops!

Greetings,

Again, based upon my extensive experience, I also believe that Pilot Wound black outs are associated with the G pressure on the pilot. May not be true, I have just noticed that if I stop turning, I black out less often. (although, they still happen eventually). This may be the reason that ppl notice the black out before landing..... I tend to hurry the landing process when in a hurry.

I do think it is also tied to the time since the wound also.

Regards,

PS, I ain't in the mood to spell chick this....

I think its time to take a look at the PW model and make it a little less basic. Its kind of odd that all pilot wounds make you black out off and on. Why cant we have things like:
- a leg wound = cant control/limited control of that rudder pedal.
- an arm wound = cant control/limited control of control column etc.
- some may cause total loss of control.
- some may just be an inconvenient flesh wound
- etc etc

You wouldn't have to model the pilots individual limbs as distinct 'hit boxes' etc, just if a shot is registered in the cockpit hit box, pick a random area of the pilot to apply the wound to, and pick a random amount of damage to be caused to that area. And each area wound would manifest itself differentially depending on place and severity etc. Lets have some more sophistication in the PW modelling.

and for the love of god, can we PLEASE get a sound of a pilot screaming as he try's to fly while his guts spill onto the floor.
please please please please please.

The BEST past of all jane's flight sims.

Your pilot got hit, you knew it.
"oh yeah,and you also actualy die sometimes mid flight."
