I agree but only out of frustration. I think it is me more than the sim. Not being able to light-up someone who I was firing at. Realistic damage model the is the best in CoD.

And I believe logic would point to this was likely was put together by someone whose purpose was to string all the "fire" videos together in one clip.

This could very well be from several missions over who knows how long of a stretch of time and an unknown number of people / missions.

You're quite right, no doubt these clips are the 'best of' as it were. Slight frustration here too, as I don't seem to get many of those 'burst of flame' kind of hits... but that's probably because I'm a terrible shot ;)

One reason for the many firery resuts is that the Japanese planes didn't have self sealing fuel tanks, or armour.

+1 jap planes were known to catch fire very quickly.
Compare that to the german guncams. Even 20mm rounds seem to have a hard time setting these b17 on fire.

Came across this on BBC iplayer, about the building of a Wellington in record time. Has some nice recollections from 'Wimpy' pilots towards the end - makes me wish our Welly was flyable! :)

Depends on the type. Late war IJN and IJAFC single seaters did indeed have self sealing tanks, though they were not as effective as the Allied ones were. Also most Japanese fighters got armor as the war progressed, especially the very late designs like the George, though the Ki 61 had pilot and radiator armor from the get go.

As to the reason we don't see Imperial Japanese warplanes "light up" like they do in gun cam footage, well, it's simple. In the stock game all US .50 Browning arned aircraft have incorrect ammo belting.

another good find, enjoyed watching that

First video some nice footage ..did anyone notice the guy in the parachute? Note the only time footage is rolling is when the gun trigger is pressed...sad

Number 2 video is about the battle of britian another nice put together film however most of the footage is after 1940 .. england doesn't have canals other then the thames and spitfires have no reason to shoot at there own boats or trains

but both videos were fun to watch thanks

I don't think he was shooting at him. I believe they could switch on the camera without pulling the trigger. I am not 100% sure on that though.

Yes the Japanese planes were tinderboxes thanks for reminding me.
