bullet holes like spotlights
« on: May 07, 2017, 08:16:14 AM »
When your plane takes damage, the holes normally appear black.  Sometimes when the light hits them a certain way, they look like this:

No. 

I complained about this when AH3 first came out and several times since.   At some lighting angles bullet holes look white.   The P-51D still has this issue.

The bullet holes tend to have the same grey like shading that the trees had before last patch...

I have not installed latest patch to see if trees are fixed but they were the same grey color as the bullet holes in certain lighting
