Title: Big Explosions
Post by: GlacierGirl on March 23, 2008, 09:23:52 PM
I was watching a video, and it showed how when planes carring bombs made EXTRA large explosions, and sometimes killed other planes that were too close, that would be cool.

how about making the explosions a little more delayed - like fireworks shows - you see the explosion then you hear it - depending on your distance from it.

There are puffs of smoke on impact.  you can tell the difference between what kind of round hit the aircraft.  I small whiteish colored puff is a small caliber.  .50 call and 20mm are about the same smoke puffs.  30mm and above show a large fireball explosion (if you are close enough)
