Question about update (In WWII)
« on: March 12, 2010, 03:34:46 PM »
I read the release notes and I didn't see any mention of fires occurring in a different set of criteria now.  I landed my Ta152H on the first night of the patch without a gear and after my wing ripped off (I prefer to land with just my fuselage  :)), my plane caught on fire.  Out of the hundreds of gear less crash landings I have made in the Ta152, I have never seen it catch fire before and thought this was too huge of a coincidence.

In addition to that, while I'm not 100%, witnessed what seemed to be a Spitfire ripping his wing off in a high speed, high G turn in which he then caught on fire.

Since I had never seen either of these things happen before in god knows how many hours I have played, I ask if the new patch code caused this or I have to chalk this up to bizarre astronomical alignments?

Now that you mention it I saw someone do a belly landing last night at a Vbase and also caught on fire.

Thought it odd at the time as there were no nme near and wasn't on fire before they landed.

Bug?  or Feature?

+1 for not making any veiled threats to stomp off the playground ;)  

No doubt this issue is a result of the recent updates.  As much of a drag as catching fire in the game is, I do believe it was a very real hazard to combat pilots in WW1 and 2, so having it play a bit more prominent role in game might not be a bad thing but certainly dont want to see it end up happening frequently.  Could really spoil gameplay.

I was able to reproduce this at my first try. Land without tire, plane on fire!

Lol, yeah I'm not complaining I think it is very cool and puts an emphasis on landing with gear!  But, it wasn't included in the release notes, hence this thread.

Belly Landings and catching on fire has happened multiple times to me in the last few months.  I feel that it is not related to the newest update & consequent patches IMHO.

However I saw this in the latest patch info.  Makes me curious as to what & when?

I know they had set it up for some certain planes.  The only thing I can personally question is a change done to the Ta152 specifically, as I mentioned, I had never seen it before and I have belly landed that thing very hard hundreds of times before this patch, and no fires.

Does it also catch fire if you belly land on grass?

So when I think my F4U1A has gotten slow compared to before the update, that's not just my imagination?

I remember first flight it felt like accelerating alot slower, and top speed while level also seemed lower I think..?
