Hit Sprites

Are there any plans to include different hit sprites for MG's and Cannons?

or how about pushing the boat out and actually have debris and chunks of plane falling off instead of the dated sprite.

hey bloom btw :)

 Like that idea. Maybe hit sprites and debris.

what? we do not already have this? I see parts of wings falling off, I see a flap or elevator come off from time to time, when I shoot and get hits I see little particals falling off, but not enough that does severe damage to flight controls........

I figured everyone saw this........


when you really get good hits you see a whole wing collapse and then you still see good hit sprites on top of all this......

I was flying using a 21" Monitor at 1024x768 res,  it is in repair shop, so I am using either a 14" or a 17" depending on whose I am borrowing and I stil see these chunks, debris, parts coming off.........I am using 256 textures so I would think if I can see it using 256 most everyone else would be able to see it since I am near the low end of performance

just my observation

I see individual parts fly off (ailerons, rudder, wing-tips, wings, tails, etc) but not chunks.  I like the bullet holes I can see when my plane has been shot..... wait, no I don't!!! :eek:

*Bump.

Hi MEchanic.

I dont see little pieces when I hit, I see hit sprites and I see the bits fall off just like in AH1 but I do not see little particles when I hit a Plane???
Played around with video settings and have not been able to reproduce.

Am I missing something?

Sorry Overlag, but I see tiny little particles when I shot sometimes  ( invision metal parts being blown out of the wing in like 3 or 4 inch diameter , which will look very very small in comparison to the plane size on the screen ) , also see hit sprites, along with actual flap, or aileron, or elevator, or even part of wing or whole wing.............not every single time but sometimes, now it could just be my mind playing tricks on me and I am just invisioning what I would want to see......but I thought it looked very real to me........

Also, when I see this I say to myself, dangit I just saw debris fly off, why is he still flying so good!

rgr Overlag,
I am not saying others should or even don't see it, I just shot down a spit at 199 and wish I had the film on, it  showed a perfect example of shooting metal off of a plane as in debris and no other damage.

I will try to get some on film today or even snapshots if someone would like to host them so I can point out what I am seeing, later in this fight I finally knocked his aileron off, then made wing collapse, the got his tail section
