He broke his neck when his plane flipped, allowing the Americans to capture their first intact Zero. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akutan_Zero).
This would also be a nice touch, but it would be much harder to implement. The bailout sequence is a stock animation and the animated pilot doesn't have a damaged model.
Another option that would be nice is if the player controlled when his parachute opened. |
Hi Pursuivant,
thanks for the link.
I guess you're right about the bailing out sequence, never thought about that this way...
+1 for the chute opening controlled by player, that's actually a very good idea: sometimes weird (and fatal) things happened to me because of the lack of such an option, if you see what i mean
)
+1 also for the "neck breaker" option as a consequence for violent to moderate ground loops or flips as you say. We definitely need something like this!
