Down in flames?

[SIK1]

Ah wow  you guys need help.

And just to add a little more epic, if you bail over water you should be able to do tricks eg; 3 and a half turn pike

"Triple Lindy"  Rodney-style.

Looked at Cntr-D and FUEL FIRE is there, but I think the code to start a fire is set to too low a percentile chance or damage level, or whatever determines it. I see a lot of fuel leaks but nobody is ever on fire. There have been issues in the past, like the Mossie, where fuel hits produced too common a fire, but this is set too low for WW1 planes.

Weren't WWI tracers smoke rounds, rather than tracers that emitted light? I do know that there were incendiary rounds, but what did they look like?

Yes!

I noticed none of the WW1 a/c burn. Seems very odd, but I know its "early days yet"...fuel hits should be bad. 

i thought this too at first squire,  that was until I sent a poor chap down in flames (he was in an F2B)

sizzle sizzle wonk!!

Seems there are fires, but im questioning the coding re the frequency. I have seen a LOT of a/c go down in the WW1 Arena at this point, and maybe one? that was on fire, despite seeing many fuel tank hits, ect. All the bullets my own crates have taken, not a single fire so far. I just run out of gas. Even the self sealing tanks in the WW2 a/c in AH do catch fire, and I think the WW1 planes catch fire even less than those despite having no self sealing tanks or armor.

I do agree squire, i feel more people should burn to death than where it is currently at.   

I will experiment in sloppy shooting and try and target fuel tanks rather than the headshot.

Fixed in patch 2. Very 1st kill post patch was a flamer. Great work HTC

Since patch 4 we seem to be back to very few fires? Thread needs to be in Bug Reports, my apologies for putting it here, but I thought reply rather than a new thread.
