Cool! If you are flying along then suddenly see a big blob of black guck on you windshield, it's not a splatted bug, it's oil and you engine is about to go pffttt. Time to turn your nose towards home!!



I love that WOFF finds a way to let you know what is going on without having to resort to the onscreen messages (we've all used shift-D to turn that cheater message stuff turned off, right? smile )

oh it gets worse the further you have to fly! I,ve had it cover most of the windshield so I had to look around to land. The RPM gauge will also start to go down as you go and you hear funny sounds from your engine.

Oh yes! Especially when it shows up 15 miles behind the lines. Some of the most immersive moments I have had in WOFF is wondering if she will hold together long enough to get back over the lines. Not to mention the threat of fire.


Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear or a fool from either end.

I agree MFair the farther you are from from friendly lines the more you sweat and the louder the noise becomes.

No only the oil but you can also hear strange engine sound then you know it is just a matter of gliding towards your side of the line. I'm always keep on sound change, mostly the sounds are from activities on the ground, but sometimes!!

BTW check also you fuel when being shot up, if the fuel tank has been hit you willl be low on fuel at a few secounds.
