hmm, maybe AP should make what look like sparks on SOME of the hits

and if we do get debris, wouldn't it be cool if there was the chance of sucking some of it up in your engine(s) and damaging it/them?

Non he rounds do have a definate hit spite..
Incinderary rounds flash when they hit. Quite noticibly I believe.
When you see gun camera of a Jug hitting a 109 you see the hit sprites..That look seems to be what HT was after in the game..is it perfect..no.
But its wrong to think that only HE rounds had visible hit indicators. Most counties used rounds that flashed on hits even in thier AP rounds..

lolol...HTC could make it look great.....but half of these guys in this game have crappy video cards and slow bellybutton proccesors....So intill we all get top notch rides...We cant have the best graphics possible......sniffle sniffle...

Yes i want wires and crap flailing in the wind....ailerons flapping around beating your fuel tanks up....

I cant wait...every year it gets bettr:)

Hit Sprites...ummmm...yes they are quit big somtimes...but my small bellybutton screen (17 inches).. i need them..lolo:(

Love BiGB

I agree totally that they need to be reworked. I for one will miss most shots if HT changes them to be more realistic, but I want that. But don't take them away, because in guncams you can still see them, just not as bright or big as theya re here. Seems that different ammo has different visuals in real life, I know small arms does :-)

Does anyone have gun camera footage that shows non HE rounds (e.g. .50s) hitting at 1000 yards distance; and how this footage compares to the naked eye?

I've seen AP rounds hit, cannon HE rounds hit, and the famous Hurricane vs C.202 clip where the Breda-Safat machine guns which fire HE included shells hit.

When AP rounds hit, it seems they give off a short, small, bright white spark simular to what we have in AH. They are small, and disappear real quick.

When HE cannon shells or the Breda-Safat shells hit, they give off a large explosion with smoke with smoke, it seems.

What's the maximum visibile range of those flashes?
