...I find it does everything that's important to me in the game, and it does it well.

Still, at least I get the chance to admire Waffle's cool new damage effects. :)

Ouch! That had to hurt!

Welcome to H.A.C.K.!
:salute
Greebo, I feel the same :)
Oh, LEAVE 63 ALONE! ;)

It's a little odd that the oil from engine hits starts at the FRONT of the cowling, tho.
-
I agree Sax.
I love the blood splatter tho

In Soviet Russia, Plane crash lands YOU!

I really like the damage effects :aok
The cockpit design is nice to
sad about the rear view...maybe they could add a mirror view or what that would look like anyway for seeing directly behind you.
The tail prob as i understand will be fixed in the next patch. I haven't noticed it myself but it's been mentioned.

The pilot must have been admiring the back of his head splattered on the canopy.

At least it's there now, instead of a splotless cowling and then all of the sudden oil all over the canopy.

I never thought I'd actually get to SEE Greebo's brains :confused:
Must collect in jar...and study... :devil

hehe the pilots even looks as though he's slumped over the controls.

Bending over to try & find the pieces of his head maybe.

Blood spatter is awesome!
I also like the oil effect, whilst I might agree that it is too prominent at the very front of the cowling, it was easy to see the oil damage on the outside of a F6 that I shot up tonight.
Long range, 600 yard shot and hit the engine... I saw the oil on the cowl rather than just a trail of smoke. Cool little addition :salute

Some thoughts on major oil leaks in big radials....
While there will be some oil coming from the cowl flaps, gravity is not in suspension and the bulk will work its way down.
I once lost a jug on an R-2800, literally lifting an inch up off the crankcase. There was some oil on the top of the wing, but the vast majority flowed down and completely bathed the underside of the nacelle and wing. Over the years flying C-118s and C-131s, I lost at least 3 engines, all of which pumped out an amazing volume of oil. It always looks far worse than it is due to the hysteresis of oil and being blown at high speed.
In the image Guppy posted, the oil comes out around the front of the cowling ring and over the top. Oil will not flow forward. There will be aerated oil mist from the cowl flaps with some minor leakage around the seams and Dzus fasteners. The bulk will leak out through the oil cooler door underneath the F6F. The oil would be nearly jet black too, with nary a hit of brown. This is due to the oil carrying a great deal of microscopic carbon (from combustion). Fresh oil is amber, used oil would be very black. The oil tank is topped off during every refueling, but the tank and sump isn't drained except during specific scheduled servicing increments. The volume of carbon in the oil strainers is impressive, but generally unimportant. What you are looking for is metal... That's important.
Anyway, the resulting leakage would look more like this:

We better hope we never get oil splatter in the game like this then.
