It does show, though, that what Oleg has shown is not neccesarily wrong, but the size IMO is wrong. I mean, even the smoke in this shot is not as thick as the one in Oleg's shot, and that one only has one engine on fire!
It also shows the size of the flame.
so now you have looked a little deeper into the facts of the matter and found out what actually happened in real life ww2 aviation, we'll just interpret that last statement from you as a retraction from your earlier hasty and inappropriate harsh criticism which called the work-in-progress BoB smoke/fire screenshots "wrong"

No, it matches my earlier point exactly. It can happen, but from all the evidence I have shown it is not very common (depending on the type of damage to the aircraft. Certainly to the extent shown in the pictures Oleg posted it is wrong). So yes, my earlier point, despite being harsh, stands. Oleg's smoke is wrong. It might be that thick, but not that large and long (although from digging into this further it depends on the amount of fuel left in the tank.) In any case, the smoke is wrong if it is larger than the same smoke from all 4-engines of a bomber. I will remain thinking this until someone posts a complete video showing a stuka being shot down with smoke looking exactly like the pictures we've been shown. I'm not trying to be mean and nasty, but if we have the option to make SoW an outstanding product the moment it is released then that should be in Oleg-&-Co's best interests

EDIT-and yes, I would happily be wrong in everything I have said above as it would mean less work to be done on SoW, but I need to see proof first
