Title: Awesome! New Oil Hit Screen!!
Post by: Chilli on September 26, 2008, 05:37:32 PM

Haven't been able to fly much since the patch and just noticed a new oil hit pattern. :rock  Anyone else notice the same or is it just on certain models?

Also, new pilot wound screen always appears on my right side only.  Has anyone else had any other experience?

the niki's aileron looks shredded rather than just a neatly cutout  part.

  Yes I did notice the blood splatter right side only! Oh wait just a can of stewed tomatoes hehe.I like that scene in the movie(Memphis Belle) :P

I think the side the blood splatter is on is dependent on which side you get shot on.  I noticed I had blood splatter on the left side once and right another time.  Can anyone confirm this?

LOL, Ivan.  Next time before I start blacking out I should try and take a taste, stewed tomatoes are one of my favorites (homestyle of course).

Sector9Fifty, that is cool  :aok  CSI blood spatter technology used in AH2, wtg HTC  :rock

not sure bout the pilot wound, I think I had it on both sides... Here's a screenie of the N1K's oil hit. It's pretty slick  ;)

Yeah I had a Hellkitty oil hit and had to circle a few times before I was able to put it down on the CV. Its a pretty cool oil smear and makes for a fun challenge.

looks easier to shoot with that than what was before... i can land on cv's blindfolded (the way you'd land a zero with a full tank of fuel) so no big deal.

Probably tells you a lot. Or perhaps it doesn't tell you a thing.
