redo the muzzle blast using particles?

At least I think its called particle based graphics... the one now used for smoke. Much much better smoke and I noticed that the muzzle blast from tanks and field guns etc still seems to be that X and Y axis 2D graphic. (I think...)
I was just wondering if that could be upgarded some day as well. Would love to see a real massive blast to go with the nice sounds.

Yes, it is X/Y based sprites, just liek the trees.  I agree it would look nice.  But it may be hard for more antiquated graphicas cards.
