I agree they got what they wanted.  In fact they seemed to get it pretty quick.  Now lets get some of the other planes that will fill in the ranks of the axis and soviet planes so we can build on scenario's, FSO's, Snap Shots and other events so they can be more accurate.  Oh and lets have the B-29's flying the low level fire bombing missions with stripped buffs.  Bet that would be fun.

I actually think many are missing something.  AH does not have engine fires.  It has fuel fires.  That has been no indication from HTC in the update notes that the modeling of AH has changed and that the engines in planes can now catch fire.

So I'll wait for the patches and see if HTC decideds that there is an issue or not.  If they say there is no issue with the hardness of the self sealing fuel tank areas, then so be it.

You know, I was wondering this same thing.  I had been under the impression that there were no engine fires, but since everyone stated that the engines caught on fire so adamantly, I figured I had just missed something... lol

I think everyone sees the B-29 catching fire and instantly thinks that is the engine.  The 29s engine issues were due to cooling issues and the use of Mg.  Everyone seems to have hysteria over engine problems,  if you try it in offline, shoot at the wing (avoid hitting the engine) and you will get the same results.
