just courious, why blood is on front left and front right window, but not on gunsight, front glass, panels, gouges?

Forgive the post, but I am shaking and real angry.

I edited it down just to get to the point, not to discount all your points.

Your a good dude, but there is just no reason to get pissed about it. People want to play out violence in games, or more so I think, to have anything that adds to realism and graphic reality.(even though this is pretty cartoon and not offensive to me)
If my monitor could shake instead of the hearing that damn stall horn, I'm for it. If I get a few red sprites on the canopy to show Im wounded, or my windscreen blackened with oil or steam so I can be extra pissed someone has now turned my Dora into a glider, AGAIN, fine. Even if I hated 'gore" as IL-2 calls it, I'd leave it on to make damn sure I tried to not let it happen. It makes for a better game, better purpose to win. Free Blackjack won't build a casino, neither will a PETA hunting game.

Hell, I splattered 500 BF1942 Vietcon last night in a Lan match, and they had a red spray and twitched and died, and when it was AI I was disappointed. When it was my friends I laughed out loud and told them I was the king. Got the same thing back when they killed me. Doesn't make me a gore-potato.

Point being we had a blast playing a game, and had they exploded everytime I sniped them like the "TnT in the pockets" chutes in AH, I'd be pissed at BF1942 for making a war game look silly. Seems to me this is a feature. And at least one guy thought any "gore" in the cockpit should be selectable.

And for the record I agree. It should be.

The blood still needs a little work.

As to its being there, it's not there for some sort of shock value and I don't view a small quantity of spattered blood to be gory. It's just another little detail to try and give the sim pilot some visceral feedback to his situation. I've always found the current method a little comical when you think about it. A pilot is in a fight and take some hits. He doesn't notice anything wrong and gets clear for a second to check his situation. He pulls up his handy-dandy damage list and says, "Good God! I've been shot!" (best if done in a thick British accent) as he discovers the surprising news.

I don't really see it personalizing things any more than they already are. The pilot is represented, is a target, and can be wounded and killed. From that perspective, fading in and out of consciousness should be more disturbing than seeing a little bit of blood splattered.

I don't view a little bit of blood all that differently than oil on the windshield. I do agree that it's an area we could go overboard in and that's not what we wish to do. My opinion is that there isn't a big overlap between people who don't object to simulating shooting at other people but do object to a little blood splatter.

I can also assure everybody that the blood is fake and that no animals were harmed in the modeling of the blood.
