Post by: Belial on August 16, 2009, 07:20:37 PM

I would like to see some massive pyro when the bombs hit the ground.

Explosions are awesome, though there is always the problem of what it's going to do to FR especially when the all to common lanc-stuka comes in carpet bombing 10,000+ with of ord.

I prefer what we have in AH now to what there was in that video.

It would just make bombing even more fun, instead of a little circle showing up from a bomb drop.

Strange thing is the film you showed is some of the most unrealistic bomb explosions I have seen, more like the typical Hollywood gas bomb explosion.

Those explosions weren't anything special... and I can't believe you posted a video of fighter ace, yuck.

Lol, those bombs seem less realistic than the AH ones, but I would like to see some sweet 'splosions, +1.

I think Dimwooo in the comments section pretty much accurately described how those explosions looked.

These are what the explosions would really look like.
