Is it possible to get more detail in the hit sprites? I don't know the limitations and/or practicality of making the hit sprites more detailed as in having many smaller hit srites for .50's and larger explosion type sprites for the larger cannon. I think it would add a lot to the game. Getting "the kill" is the single most thrilling aspect of the game, and detailing that aspect would add much to the game in my opinion.
Also having to do with the kill (actually your own death), I think it would be nice to have a warbirds-type death sequence. When you die you get about 4-5 seconds outside trailing view of your airplane as it goes down or explodes. When I first downloaded warbirds and got online I remember these things the most. My kids would watch and Ooo! Aww! as they saw my plane come to pieces or blow up. It seemed to have kinda made your death sequence funner than "rip, tear, you're in the tower". I know it sounds trivial but I think this would be a cool addition.
