-
WHOOOOT !!!!

when did this sim turn into a teenager 1st person shooter?
trying to appeal to even a younger group?
remove the gore
I hope its somebody playing in photoshop and that htc didnt really waste programming time to add that "feature" (
-
Blood!!
Cool!
Can the blood be seen from other planes? It would be great to see a plane going down with a blood splattered canopy!!

i tend to agree with this.......although it does look "cool"

Hehehe
I love politically correct.
If there wasn't "politically correct", I would have one less thing to laugh at.
Believe me, living on the left coast I spend a good deal of time laughing.
I could always fall back on "anger management" for a chuckle.
But it just wouldn't be the same...
I'm with Swager, I think it would be cool to add wittle bloody chunks of flesh stuck on the windscreen.
That would ROCK !!

lol live in the UK by any chance? Seems to have turned so "PC" over here its getting stupid........:(
thing is, what does blood add to the game? so you know your injured, but isnt a fading screen good enough?
not whining or whatever, i just dont think much effort should be put into it though.
still "looks good" though :p
-
The splatter followed by a red haze fadeout to the black we have in place now. That'd be cool..
The fade back in would be in red for the duration. Red to black.
You could make a pilot kill a mess..
Maybe throw in a skull fragment ??
Always been partial to skull fragments..

eagler, I'm sorry but where does blood equate teenager oriented?

the majority of 1st persons shooters have the gore and animated skin marketed for the frustrated pimple faced teen - heck - I hope that is their target audience anyways .. maybe I'm wrong

Now all we need is the engine oil spewing and smearing all over the front canopy when the engine is hit and we are all set.
BTW I think the engine should start to sputter when its about to conk out also .
-
A toggle would be the best solution. I have no problem with it. After starving for updates, any addition is a good addition in my book.
I just think automatically assuming the game's aim has changed to a teenage crowd and thus being "bad" is a bit premature.
-
The problem with being PC isnt that we might offend someone. its that we care too much if someone is offended.
Well the rest of the world does anyway.
While I dont intentionally go out of my way to offend people.
Dont ever kid yourself into thinking I care if someone is offended by something I say or do.
My suggestion to those offended... grow a thicker skin. And get offended over something worth being offended over.
Like world hunger and malnurished children.
-
Least now you know when a black out's coming from being wounded.....
hate taking hits.....then continue fighting just to pass out.....
Now i'll know when to get out of danger / combat

You're incorrect. The average age of a FPS player is not a "pimple faced teen," it's closer to 27. (The exact age is debateable, but just do some research on google.)
I'm sure there's going to be a toggle in your options menu so that you won't have to feel queasy, but personally, I think it's a nice touch. Very immersive... I wonder how many USAAF pilots had to stare through their own blood in order to land their plane.
Remember, that's not some demon's blood, nor an ogre's. That may accurately represent what someone went through sixty years ago.

I wouldn't count on it. In any case it is so divorced from the reality that the comparison is painful.
I don't mind it, but lets not kid ourselves but that this is a game.

I don’t care about the blood one way or another but by it just being their gives you the sense of an enclosed cockpit. AH has the feel of an open cockpit, as if there is no glass between you and the outside. IL2 “dirty” canopy glass gives you the feel of being in an enclosed cockpit.
Another thing that the blood shows is that if it is possible to do with pilot hits why not include oil spray with eng hits?
I am not sure what to think, if this "spray" feature is gonig to include oil from eng damage then great. If it just remain with blood spray then my opinion is "shrug".

I DEMAND MORE SCREEN SHOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
show me the G10 with slats the P38 and some wrecked ponies! :D

HTC goal is to make the most realistic, immersive online sim. Now good sims are fun and exciting while at the same time capturing the struggle, pain, and realism of war.
IMO the amount of blood is approriate, its not like anyones head is flying off here.
and remember, this is WAR!!! With people dying!!!! If flight sims showed half the stuff that really happened to pilots in their aircraft (notably in the b17s and bombers) it would be alot more disturbing than it is now.

I can only imagine the mess a 30mm would do to a person....

same feature that would enable other effects like oil etc. Let's take off all damage effects as well to not offend our sense of the warbirds' suffering too.

Man nice frame rates!
