New Damage

[MAINER]

You two just need to fly real planes without radiators 

air cooled POWAH!

Some things I would like to see are:

1- drop tanks can catch fire when shot (they weren't self sealing like some of the wing tanks right?)

2- control lines destroyed so that the control surface is still there flapping in the wind but the pilot has no control over it.

3- damage to hydrolic lines causing the gear to extend

4- break line damage (have to roll to a stop without wheel brakes)

5- canopy damage that jams it closed so you can't bail out (I know most people don't bail anyway, but some of us do)

6- turbo charger/super charger damaged so that high alt engine performance suffers, but can still nurse it back to base at low alt

7- drop tanks that occasionaly jam and don't release

8- prop damage from enemy fire

yeah this would even up the odds i say plus as this is a simulator it mimics real life problems

Thinkin more about that prop damage, that'd be great too, considering how many times i've been aiming at a bombers engine, and can't get it to matchstick no matter how many rds I pump into it.... would be cool to see that prop to start taking the burden of bullets also

i know its not realy damage but when a plane is destroyed i would like to see some thing happen like if a plane hits the ground and (cart wheels maybe)explode and ground sets on fire and a smoke colume blows out
or maybe the plane explodes in the sky the bits that come off should set on fire
or the pilot dies a plane keeps flying and slowly crashs

blood scout, parts of that post are already in game. when the pilot is killed the plane goes into a death spiral for a few seconds (but it does disapear instead of going all the way to the ground) and when a plane just explodes a few (two or three) flaming pieces can be seen coming out of the explosion.
