Know what i hate about pilot wounds and cockpit hits?
In this game they are not only unrealistic, but they simply do not work.
Take a .30 or larger round to any part of your body, your flying days are over.
Not to mention the agonizing pain, the bone chilling wind coming from the now riddled cockpit, the numbness from loss of blood.
You pass out once, your done.
The fade should fade slower, but should NEVER come back.
Untill this is done, aces high will always be arcade, period.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But i have solutions, should you all choose to consider them.
(what we have)First off, the view before it fades, you all know how it sways and shifts the head's place.It dips turns slides,kinda like your pilot is out of it (loss of blood persay) Then it fades, and comes back.
(What we needed)The view should never* come back after full fade, while the pilot is wounded the head should move irregular like it does now JUST before the screen fades in/out, maby with a slight fade.
Also pilot *aggonizing scream* is much needed.
Recap.
1:No full blackouts in and out, before death (first & final blackout)
2:Head should sway like it does now before blackout, while your hit.
====================================================
The sway would be more like a fealing, your pilot has one hand on his gut, holding his intestines and blood in, with aggonizing pain his eyes search the controls, his blood soaked hand grips the stick, engines firewalled as his smoking p51 heads for home, blood runing low his eyes once again dip from the horizon down to his feet, he notices his intire cockpit floor is nothing but blood, doesnt have much time...he turns his nose back to the enemy and trys to put a evil grin on the face he can no longer feal.
Seconds before he pulls the trigger the rest of the *life* run from his eyes, blinded..his body slumps forwards and he passes away with one more agonizing scream, all his flight can hear his last gasp of air.
Seconds later his p51 smashes into the ground full speed, the 109 pilot still unaware he was ever even targeted.
*** Untill then, we will never get things like this. ***
What we will tell of a story is,
"Billy got hit by .50 cal fire, he blacked out while fighting a 190 over germany, flew level and stright with autopilot before he came to a full blackout, regained control (could see again, more blood it was a miracle!) he pulls around to get another snap shot at the 190, but just as he did..again, he lost all blood, blacks out. With wings level again, the 51' pilot keeps a calm, looks around in the darkness untill his view comes back.
Seconds later he puts all .50's into the nose of the 190 in his last head on before diping the nose down and runing for home.
All in all that day, the pilot passed out some 6-9 times, at no time did he die.
its as if some angel was sitting in his cockpit, pumping him back full of blood.

Shame.
