Ok if we're goig to have Pw blackouts. How about the flying torches?

[DREDIOCK]

Ok its no big secret how much I positively LOATHE the way pilot wounds are modeled.

But if we have something for that.
What about the flying torches that continue to fight as though everything is hunky dory for several minutes after the engine catches fire.
Surely something  like plane becoming a flying torch would be somewhat disturbing, if not downright distracting to the pilot of the plane considering fire is supposed to be one of, if not the most horrible and painful ways to die. Not to mention the nervousness that would be created at the thought that the plane was likely to explode at any moment.

I mean how many pilots once their plane caught fire continued fighting in spite of their plane becomming a flying meteor?

Surely  if pilot wounds can and should  be modeled to absurdity. The same can be said for the flying fighting torch.

well maybe the fire should move into the cockpit and start to burn the pilot causing a complete red out after about 15 seconds...

[Beefcake]

Although I agree with you DREDIOCK that the pilot probably wouldn't stick around once he turned into a torch, but some times I'll get hit and I won't realize I'm on fire until I look back and see the flame trail due to the way the game renders smoke and fire effects. It is possible that some people catch on fire and never realize it until the wing snaps off or the plane explodes.

I agree flying torches calmly fighting on is stupid .

[Murdr]

It's the fuel tanks that catch fire in AH btw.

[StokesAk]

I was in a Ta152 and one of the tanks that had no feul in it lit on fire. 

[A8TOOL]

The fire in some planes looks like it's coming from the wing and others it's closer to the wing root or even the engine itself.

Red outs is a good idea...... that has been mentioned over and over for 8- 9 years

Vapor is a biotch.   It hides in every nook and cranny.

Yup. The vapor is more flammable than the gasoline itself

I was once starting a gas stove when I caught on fire ad the flame worked its way up my arm. Funny thing is I didn't even realize it for about 5 seconds

I'll bet my life savings you weren't laughing at the time.

LOL! You are correct

Well, did you continue to attack the p-47 on your 6?

I agree, something needs done about the damage modeling, now how to get around doing it is a different story...

[Saxman]

If they can vary the location of the fire, they could have the cockpit fill with smoke so you can't see.

[Chalenge]

How about a slow and gradual blackout of the canopy as if soot is building up there? Disgusting but...

[Larry]

Yeah but vapor doesn't burn for very long if the tank is empty. Empty fuel tanks that catch fire should only burn for a few seconds then they would burn themselves out.
