The collision model horse has been beaten to death so many times already, do a search.

How would you like to die to collision when an enemy passes you from a safe distance from your point of view? Because that's what you're asking essentially.

It is not cool to watch people die.

Fair enough.
:aok
You do realise that is usually exactly what we are seeing when we view countless videos of WWII gun cam footage looking for pointers on ACM and making historic comparison to what we see in the game?

I suppose its more for the fact those fighters were probably just nubs training, had it been combat gun cam footage we all probably wouldn't feal so bad.

Yeah, if it were guncam footage I'd feel a lot better... do you think before you type? That's horrible, I don't care who it is. This post is terrible, what are you thinking?

Umm the mushroom cloud rising from the crater their planes created? Unless you mean the guncams - I'm sure that many of those pilots bailed out and survived.

Yea those two guys died, however in the 40's and 50's, film makers used a lot of real WWII footage due to no CGI, with a lot of people actualy dying in the course of their duty.

I think that that bit of footage is actualy also used in
Flying saucers v's Earth or some Sci-Fi flik like that. Saw it on the tely a couple of weeks ago.

Still should make you think of the real dangers those guys faced...

How do you like being shot by a plane that in your view is no where near having guns on you?
