I've been hearing a lot of comments about enemy planes blowing up when hit.

Can't see it myself. I have flown several dogfighting type missions and it would appear to me that the damage modelling is pretty durn good.

They are hard to hit and when I do hit them I'm lucky to see small pieces of aircraft flying away. I did apparently hit a fuel tank on one and the fire was obvious, but it did not blow up by any stretch of the imagination.

Now the balloons are another matter entirely................

I am going to try playing with some options to see if that makes a difference. I have almost all the gameplay stuff on HARD.

Trust me they do blow up! I ran into the debris from one such encounter and it took part of my wing off!

I agree...but then I was accused, in a round about way, of being a bad shot. ;\) I still get the kills they just don't blow apart with near the regularity others seem to be getting.


Joke em if they can't take a....
