I guess this is the right time to ask this since next version is about the SFX department.
my requests
1. planes that fly on unmanned after pilot bails and eventually crash as the pilot floats down to earth
2. planes that fly on unmanned after the pilot is killed and proceed along the same way the bailed planes do into a death spiral or the likes pointed earthbound.
3. lower tollerance of airframe for ditching at speed ( +150mph into the woodlands and shrubbery should be fatal)
4. kills awarded for aircraft that have been ditched assuming the shooter is nearby and has hit them with gunfire.
as you may have guessed I am hoping by having these SFX we will be able to use historical tactics such as fiegning death since the shooter will not know our pilots vital signs. bailing will be more fun since we get to watch our shattered plane plummet while we ride the silk. and by awarding kills for aircraft that have been forced to land we will see both chivalry and more determination to fight on against the odds.
be cool to be fighting a loosing battle in my p38 shot to bits, leaking fuel and blown radiators, wingtip missing, leaking fuel n oil, the enemy pilot pulls along side waggles their wings and salutes then flies off to find their next victim since they had forced me down and were duely credited for their achievement.
then we can say chivalry aint dead in Aces High
