The puffs of smoke in WWIIOL are due to the timed fuse detonating.

I believe several/most?/many cannon rounds on both sides had a timed detonation due to two purposes:
- incase the contact fuse didn't work (or didn't have one at all)
- for safety, so that the cannon shells could only explode near the intended target, and not on the ground.

  There is atleast one historic occurence of a surprised target realizing that they are under attack by cannon shells exploding in mid air in front of them. I don't think that the shells were intended to explode when they are a near miss. So, this would be more of a eye candy item rather than a historic accuracy item.

I agree completely that the FW190F NEEDS more loadouts.

I'm not saying that HTC should add every variant, (ie please don't add the 190F's variant that carried 2 small torps or 1 full sized torp) but getting the iron bomb loadout would be a step towards sanity.

BTW, WTF is with the 190's fuel tank sequence still not fixed?!

Problem: Map terrain

Elaborated: You could drive tanks in europe, africa, etc. You can not in Ah 1/2 the time due to "bad" spawns (spawns that are horribly far from anything or kill you instantly)

Solution: Add more roads and more gv spawns near critical areas, like factories. Correct the "instant death" gv spawns.

Also, a way to aim rockets on pts would be nice.

i think there are a few times, in his autobiography, that 'hub' Zemke mentions 1st noticing he is under attack when time-fused 20mm shells start bursting in front of him
