You are 100 KM's over the lines,when your oil pressure drops to zero,and your engine quits.
You take off,and your engine quits.
You get to high alt,then without warning your oxygen supply fails,and you die of ashyxiation.
Get rid of the refly button in dogfight servers.You die,or bail out,you have to leave the server and come back in,after losing all your precious points.
Sounds fair to me,after all,we are after realism.

Frankly with the limited time I have to fly online I'd be upset if I was flying for 45 minutes and found that my guns were jammed. Or any of the scenarios above you mentioned. If these options were available as a server setting then great.. but I wouldn't use them... ever. I don't do this for that kind of realism.. I do it for fun.. and to me that is not fun. That woule be even worse than flying for 45 minutes and getting taken out by flak.

To each his own...

I think this is something that really happened, but at max altitude when weapons froze.

But are bombers really that realistic now?

If you die close to enemy airport ,in a fighter, this would be great! I hate vulchers , if server allows it ok put it in option

Exactly Bearcat! One reason why the dictated bombfusing thing is so annoying as you have no option other than to skip 4.10 totally at the moment.

What you are proposing means to throw the baby out with the bath water!
It seems that you are incapable to adjust to slightly elevated difficultys.
Mankinds greatest advantage was and is to adapt to new circumstances and use them at the best.

Sure I am certain some might even be able to drop a bomb with a 5min arming time, and??
Does that justify something that is purely random?
Wonder what your type would say if those things JG52Uther suggests where implimented without the option of choosing if you wish to use it or not?
I am certain you would be the first to applaud that?

It is also about identifing stupid stuff, and not just doing something because some one else say so. Do you jump in a lake when some one out of the blue tells you so?
