This could encourage the "chart monkeys" to speculate and make some formula in excel to predict the data required !!!!

We need a chart

I like it the way one dies in a game like Stalker,, where as you get injured, you lose energy,, your vision fades away.. then it cuts away to the seen where your body is..

Ask and you will receive!

Skoshi Tiger Pain V Bullet Speed Comparison Chart (c)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
................Ft/sec__Size of head (Ft)__Time to cover distance(sec)
Pressure____200___0.75____________0.00375
Pain_________3____0.75___________0.25
Mk7 .303_2445____0.75___________0.000306748
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This chart shows the time taken for the different item listed to propogate approximately 9 inches (very roughly the distance between the back of my head to the tip of my nose!

From extensive research of the first site returned by yahoo I found that nerve impulses generated by pressure travel at about 200 feet per second and those caused by pain go at only about 3 feet per second.

The trusty Mk7 .303 round travels at about 2445 ft/second (from memory!) (The Colt-Browning machine guns used the MK8 round but they were only a little bit faster)

As you can see there is an order of magnitude diffence between the time taken for the bullet to pass through the said distance and any feeling of the bullet. The pain is not even in the ball park!

Which leads to the old Joke

"what is the last thing to pass through a grasshoppers mind as he hits the windscreen of a car traveling at 60mph!?"

i'd like an Edgar mod. when you die the radio will say "ahhh..te bañaste." like the father (holding the camera) said when edgar fell into the water

honestly... u get shot in the head... ur dead and black is all u should see...

get shot in the arm... maybe a little blur or something to simulate pain, but u wouldn't die before u ran outta fuel, landed or someone finished you off...

really it all depends on where u get hit...

fade out should be if u die from bloodloss and even then it should be like...

u get tired and u should be like nodding off sorta like... screen goes black and then comes back like ur having problems keeping ur eyes open... and eventually u just pass out, screen goes black for good...

Yeah. Which means all the pilot kills are headshots. That is really, really unlikely in my view. I think there are too many pilot kills in the game, it's the sniper bomber gunners fault in the main, it just didn't happen like that in the real war.

Well we have no way to confirm this so we can have what we like as a KIA option IMHO :grin:

its a bit like WW2 AC FM & DM discussions, no one here flew them or got shot gown in one but we all think we know how it should be.

i should rephrase to say... a dead person can't go on teamspeak or ventrilo and report where enemies shot him down... so black is all you should see, instead of being an omnipresent observer who can give info to anyone

don't worry about that

theres the log filehack that sees all ac coordinates, been out for years that's why i stopped flying bombers in online wars.

radar anyone ?

i thought this was for SOW i know there's the log file in il2fb but maybe it'll be different in SOW...

and radar in the 40's consisted of little dots on a screen... there wasn't the resolution or technology to identify the aircraft and in no way was it perfect down to the exact location...
