All things must come to an end. It's the end of the day Friday, and I'm off to enjoy my weekend. And then I'm usually too busy to post on here a lot.

Although if we have time I might post something entirely unexpected here mid-week.

Luthier,

with a multi crew aicraft like that on fire (or under attack, damaged), will some of the endangered crew (by nearby fire or damage) jump from the aircraft on their own initiative, or will it always only happen when (we) as the pilot order it ? (ie, one "bailout" command for all crew at once, and crew wont jump on their own when fire comes near or starts near them).

and similar with AI crews, will some AI crew from an aircraft jump on their own, and will the AI pilot continue to try and get his aircraft home even with severe damage and a partial crew ?

A very good question. There are a number of cases of aircrew members bailing out without permission (and at least one or two where the gunner made his way to the cockpit to release the plane had been flying itself).

One thing I've often want in Il-2 is the ability to order the rest of the crew to bailout. There are some situations where I'd be willing to try and land a damaged plane, but where I wouldn't want to risk the lives of my gunners/navigators.

Besides, the add weight

. Would be good to have something like this in SoW (no one is saying, that you need that blood on windshield).
