Smoking planes?

[furbs]

Just flew a few offline missions and just noticed that i didn't see one smoking plane the whole time, so then i ran the bomber intercept low level mission 5 times on auto pilot just to watch, and again not one smoking plane the whole time.
Now i saw a few wings come off with a bit of smoke but not one smoking plane.

Has this patch reduced the chance of this happening or it just a fluke morning of missions?

Anyone else noticed this?

do you have effects on high?

personally i see no difference. lots of cool and different smokes comign out of every plane. some white, some grey some black.

Sorry, i mean just the black smoking planes or catching fire.

catchign fire is a rare event. black smoke not so much.

109's catch fire a lot with my .303s, stuckas and heavy bombers not so much. anyway i dont see any difference, there werent many fires before, still dotn see much.

Biggles and I bit into the BR20s on ATAG 1 last night, and Biggles had one spewing thick black smoke all the way down to the deck, so the effect is still there.

I've not seen it for ages though, so it may need a particular combination of hits to trigger or summat.

It is definately there though.
