Rip the engines themselves never take damage. Always the tanks.
Ahh, well, then just alittle C++ code change to show you your inbrd/outbrd engine is on fire, followed by fuel tank fire, then 10 seconds later BANG!  :rock

it could be done relatively easy game design wise.  If the B-29 takes engine damage and starts to over heat due to either loss of oil pressure or radiator leak and the engine isn't shut off before it redlines then it overheats, swallows a valve, pops a hole in the top of the piston, forces fuel in the crankshaft, ignites the fuel and 30-40 seconds later the wing folds due to the intense heat of the fire against the wing spar.

I was lucky not to get shot down, I made one good 45 degree angle pass but ballsed it up and only got a few hits on the vertical stabiliser.

I was so keen to get the kill before anyone else that I just rolled around behind and barreled in on his six.

He lined me up at the last second and the rounds from the 20mm and two of the other turrets passed just over my cockpit. If he'd had his eye in I'd have been vaporised.

He was about one minute from his drop too, so I suspect he was busy in the bomb site.

I got lucky.

How can kill message come up in text buffer when the plane is still in the air.?



I am talking about the Hitech kill.  I am assuming the plane on fire is his.
