Realistic damage model(er...lack of) You clip a tree with ONLY your wingtip...BANG! Your dead. That is SO CHEESY!

Been complaining about the DM for the past year my self, it's old and very very outdated and basicly the same as we have in the beta (same idea maybe updated and refined a bit).

I want better DM more then anything else.

I don't mind the damage model, I'd just like to see a more animated death sequence. IMO, a highly detailed damage model is one of those things that sounds good, but in order to implement takesfar too much time to be worth the end result.

Roll 5 or 10 mph on the carrier deck and barely brush the conning tower or gun with your wingtip and same thing...bang + death.

I once got blinded rolling an F4U on the CV in a TOD and spun out. No damage but was halfway down the deck. I had to turn around and get faced in the right direction before rolling backwards and the above is what happened to me. So frustrating.

Heh, how about GV's? Back into a hangar wall produced death in WW2? Driving over debris? Sure death.

Yeah, I just posted another whine so maybe it can make it into 1.11.

Id love to see exhaust contrails....I have some pictures of the Battle over Brittain taken from the ground and all you see is a BUNCH of high alt white contrails all over the sky.

While Im dreaming...

* See the heat/exhaust contrails from the jets while taxi-ing, take off, at alt, etc...the distortion from the heat of the jet.

* High alt contrails from aircraft...we used to see a lot of those here in Maine when Loring AFB had B-52s..quite common to see HUGE white contrails up there.

* Jet blast...dont taxi behind that jet!

* Advanced weapons some of our airplanes had....for example, 20k bombs for Lancs...lets use those perks! (Can you imagine a 20k bomb on a City? Wow.)

* Enhanced CV damage. CVs are either up or down, and can continue to spawn aircraft despite damage. Let's make the ship smoke and list as it takes damage. Certainly can't take off from a leaning ship

Just ideas while sipping coffee this morning....thanks!

Just think of the trees as the petrified kind... less stress until the DM gets tweaked.

I'd love to be able to park a tank in front of the convoy and have them either go around me, or take damage when they hit me.

Not pick my tank up and fling it off to the side as if it were a paper cup and take absolutely no damage and go driving off as if nothing happened.

(I can see this happening with the train mebbe, but with a 2.5 ton truck versus a panzer, newp)
