Also in water there was no sinking when I put own, just an explosion and my pilot was dead with the career over, I think I will always bail over water in future. I suspect this can never be improved and is just the limit of the old engine, a shame if it is the case as staying 'alive' is what playing this is all about.
Chief;
I beg to differ on your above statement. I can consistently ditch in the water and survive without engine explosion. I made a vid which is at the following link that demonstrates this: click to view
That is really cool to know, my experience must have been the exception to the rule so to speak. There's no need for evidence, I totally accept your experience. It is early days still so difficult to know what is the norm. Good to know I can try to ditch in future.
