Thanks Bounty! I think it's aircraft-specific. Just a couple of bursts from a Spit's MGs did the trick, while the 109 was probably shooting blanks or something...


Those chain reactions killed my FPS bigtime BTW. A single group of tanks wasn't a big problem, but all those crammed onto that "industrial island" set off others which set off others yet again, bringing my CPU to its knees it seems .. major slideshow, even by CoD's standards ..


Utter destruction ... good thing I sold my BP-shares this morning



Ooops.. got a bit too close there, but ...


.. look at that hotrod-Spit go!!




Ok.. I think I overdid it on this one...


And now for something completely different. Little Fritz and his bailout over the beautiful English country-side ...

Great pictures.
But is the pilot a midget, or is the grass just huge?!

No,I think he landed in Kew Gardens.

I like the way the pilot's body pose is like 'Wow, look at that. The grass is THIS BIG here!'

Hehehe LOL, I hope that's what he's talking about...

Prolly just some local farmer's weed-plantation ... man's gotta make a livin' you know?

Some amazing detail in these shots. Looking forward to getting a PC to run it - in a year or so

Once a while damage modeling amazes me, truly, this was one of those moments.


Sometimes not so much, shot this tail off and it came like cutted straight with knife. Lucky me didn't crash my plane on it.


RTB, landing was kinda bumby so rightside undercarriage gave away, plane ended on nose after long slide.

You can damage gear? I'm going to try it again. During my last landings I decided to do very hard landings and no damage.

I love this sim

Shado: I just had a tail-less Spit like in your shot flying around straight and level in one of my missions. He must've collided with another plane I think. I watched him every few seconds or so on ext-cam and the pilot couldn't be bothered... just kept on flying. In fact: A bit later I was creeping up on another Spit and must've crossed into the tail-less Spit's flightpath while doing so. He popped up in front of me, flying around merrily. WTF?! Only after I shot some 20mm into his open fuselage did the pilot decide to bail out... Didn't take screenshots though .





Low-alt dogfight: Finall possible thanks to those excellent performance-mods! Yay!










S.

Yea, it seems you can, that was first time I noticed it myself.
Here's video of it-



And Shado, awesome pics

Bumps a daisy, it's enough to make you weep

Saschas ya got some real belters there mate, yeah my Spit would have carried on going

Nice shot in the red weedy flowery field

Over the top

^ A Spitfire in hell?



Shado: Any chance you're gonna make that naughty Stuka-skin public..? Pretty please ...?



S.

Those BR20s sure catch on fire easily. And those poor souls that had to man the rear-facing guns ... They're practically wearing a big bullseye on their forehead along with a huge "shoot-me"-sign above their heads. I don't even want to imagine what it would've been like manning those guns in RL ..





^ What, me worry?






Talk about being exposed to enemy fire ...


I wonder if that glasshouse of the upper gunner had armoured glass ... probably not.


But I think what this mission taught me is that 1C overlooked yet another important detail: Where are the sunglasses on those Italian pilots/gunners? Geez.. that really should be a no-brainer ...
