O2 damage to Reduce altitude

[Arlo]

I used to support this idea but have since discovered how robust the oxygen system of the B-17 was. Even fighters would so rarely be affected that the addition of this option is meaningless (I anticipate less than 1%).

hmmm O2 damage to reduce altitude aka make it easier to catch bombers to destroy them. OP thinking cartoon pilot breathing cartoon oxygen will make cartoon plane fly lower 10,000 feet.   come on Kenaii its a cartoon game. . do like everyone else does climb to 30k shoot at bombers maybe hit one or to get shot down for you're trouble.   nobody said you had to chase bombers, but if you limit a players game he/she's not going to be playing much longer. if you don't want to fly to 30k then don't, but don't try to make a player play you're way.

In any case it would be just as easy to kill the pilot by shooting him rather than hit his oxygen tank.

I'm not sure about that. Strafing the fuselage of a buff is pretty easy. the bombs don't explode however and the amount damage the fuselage can absorb is very large. You will probably run out of ammo before you kill a buff by shooting it in the fuselage. A8, Typhie, P-47, 262 are exceptions.

If you could damage an O2 bottle and it would act like pilot wound that would be easier than maneuvering to kill the pilot in my opinion. 

Interesting Idea but I think Buff pilots have a tough enough time as it is and this would inhibit buff use. Unless it were compensated by making gas tanks tougher.

Actually it's not that bad to take a bomber down shooting the fuselage.  It's not the most efficient way, but even 6x.50 will get the job done with an extended, but not insanely long burst.

More detail on damage is always a good thing as far as I'm concerned.

I’m almost always in a 109. Which has a small gun package so maybe you more correct than me Wiley

Not when I fly it
