Wonderful! The goodies just keep on coming. Thank you OBD.
Can you elaborate on:
6) Revised aircraft 'death physics'.?


"Take the cylinder out of my kidneys,
The connecting rod out of my brain, my brain,
From out of my arse take the camshaft,
And assemble the engine again."

regarding 6)

When aircraft are effectively destroyed they go down - and to avoid them flying on forever or something too daft we kill the aircraft.
Imagine when pilot is mortally wounded or controls are badly damaged or locked in a position the aircraft will spiral or dive.
Originally this was too severe, so they would often dive or peel down quickly as soon as "dead".

The new behaviour was to make that much less severe so craft would fly on more. However apparently it seems it was too far. So now it's in between the old behaviour and the new.

I’m sure many will recall the odd but true story of the RE8 flying on with a dead crew?

"One of the most unusual incidents of World War I occurred in December 1917 when a 3 Squadron RE8 was attacked by six Albatros scouts. After bringing down one enemy aircraft the gunner was mortally wounded by a bullet which passed through his chest before striking the pilot in the head, killing him instantly. Although damaged, the RE8 continued to fly by itself until it ran out of fuel and landed relatively intact in a snow drift some fifty miles from the scene of the combat. The Albatros bought down in this engagement was presented to Australia as a war trophy and is now on display at the Australian War Memorial, Canberra."

Indeed many strange things are possible in real life. I thought the previous new setting was fine personally but hey ho..

Were there complaints? I don’t recall any...?
Fully half the time I lose sight of my opponent anyway, when he goes low and I go high unless he catches fire or something, so I don’t see much of the “death ballet.”

I’ve seen the Eindecker fly on in a lazy circle after the pilot was sprawled on the starboard wing (partially). I didn’t mind it to see it once in a blue moon, but most of the time the plane would most likely be out of control and falling after killing the pilot. Maybe keep it for stable airframes?

"Death physics" between the old and new sounds good. The time it took for aircraft to hit the ground with dead crew in 5.02 seemed too much for average case considering the lack of trim and the corpse of the pilot.

Bagged my first victory, a French Nieuport 17, under 5.03.
Like to give you a nice windy report on the “death dance” but we were both about 50’ above the ground smack in the middle of NML when he lost control and crashed. Actually flew thru his dust cloud which was a first.

You’re doing it right then*. Remember the advice drummed into all new RFC/RAF pilots: “_never_ever_ follow him down” (because to do so would be to sacrifice height, and thus render you vulnerable to any other Huns in the vicinity).

Mike

*wish I could learn to do things right, at least half the time..
