Online, I don't care.

Offline, dead should be dead. I don't enjoy it, but there is nothing to be done so the black screen from the cockpit is about right. I don't think it should happen so often, the as I understand it the Spitfire and Hurricane had bulletproof windscreens, and in the BoB at least the German bomber gunners had guns of a calibre less than 8mm, but when it does happen, it should be the black screen or something very like it.

The pilots of the i16 are shown with oxygen masks. In the Biggles books (I'd read the lot by the age of 13, okay?) the limit for flying without oxygen in WW1 was given as 18,000 ft. With oxygen, it would be the limits of the plane, which would depend on superchargers etc.

Sorry Gaga, but your post is one of the most ridiculous examples of political correctness run amok that I've ever heard. (I've deleted the bulk of what I originally wrote to avoid hurting your feelings)

We are discussing here a game that simulates war. War is where a bunch of guy's get together and try to kill, maim and imprison a bunch of other guys who are trying to do likewise to them, these things sometimes get unpleasant. I just thought I should point that out.

I think perhaps you've stumbled into the wrong place. Why are you not playing a nice game of foot ball where the score is not kept to avoid hurting anyone's feelings, mate?

Hi Gaga

Perhaps a graphical update to the dead pilot scenario is a good idea.

We have at present : You is dead be sure !!

Maybe it could be: Stop drinking and smoking or you will be dead soon.

Or any user warning you like

I interpreted the post differently - that Gaga doesn't like the sudden hit of frustration when he/she gets PK'd. Maybe Gaga has broken a keyboard or two after the black-screens?

I think perhaps that's even sadder.
