well... how can you say it would be more realistic? that looks more hollywood tbh.

i'm guessing to get blood splatter like that you'd be talking either arterial spray or explosive shells removing both tissue and clothing. don't forget pilots wore a lot of clothing and, at least in bob, were usually subject to death by rifle calibre bullets. combine these two factors and bleeding out would be limited to soaking pilot suits, not decorating the inside of the plane like someone has been overly enthusiastic with the ketchup bottle. unless you it's a very specific bullet strike area then there wouldn't be large amounts of blood splatter. and certainly not in such patterns as you've added.

yeah and if the sim looked like that, it would be rated 18+ in most European countries, that would mean a lot of die hard tots that are here and living in Europe would not get the game! Maybe think before asking for Hollywood, although thinking of Hollywoods version of "Pearlharbour" I think I have to look for a paper bag.

I don't want gore...but Il-2 did have a gore setting which, in many ways, was quite bloody.

Yes the Hurri pilot is too small...but the He111 crew look ok for size ?!

It's my birthday today ( don't all cheer at once..!) I was hoping Oleg would give me a SoW video as a birthday treat!

I only use the HUD view in IL2 so not worried about Luther's threat!!!

Cheers

Fantastic screenies, the progress that has been made in such a short time is nothing less than phenomenal. It just goes to show you how much effect taking your time and laying a good foundation has later on in the project.

Clearly the guy in the cockpit is sat very high - the canopy would chop the top of his head off if closed!. So maybe as mentioned in prevoius posts it was adjustable for taxing, especially. Size of his (uncovered) head relative to cockpit/canopy can be gauged here as well though.
