If not too difficult, I would like to see the ammunition wagons explode as if they contained ammunition, when strafed. Also, could the new AA wagons, armoured train etc become active artillery?

Having the option to have ammo and fuel trucks, train cars, and ships to blow up with more or less force would be nice. A truck loaded with 500 KG of rifle ammunition isn't going to explode with the same force as one loaded with 500 KG of dynamite.

Look at gun camera films of fighters strafing ground targets, and it's clear that a hit on a big ammo dump can produce a massive explosion, which is sometimes lethal to the strafing aircraft!

Ammo train cars (usually brown) have this effect and if you are too close you will suffer damage or be killed.

Modelling ammo trucks in columns could be a lottery when attacking as you wont know whats what in the convoy.

Treat all columns as inert supply vehicles troops and food, fuel trucks are modeled Grey German Green Russian iirc and are harder to kill for some reason.

And besides fuel trucks there are tanker vessels...
Loaded tanker could burn for many hours with impressive flames and smokes while staying afloat. Half laden or empty tanker with tanks not yet ventilated could explode after a minor hit due vapour detonation.

I'm happy to support realistic explosions with a realistic danger element provided the frame rate hit isn't too severe.

And thanks again DT for all your good work. I think I'll be sticking with this game for my WWII air combat fix for quite a while yet, mostly thanks to the sheer variety of aircraft and other objects and maps continuing to become available. I enjoy any additions, but particularly the earlier war elements come to mind, like the B-24D a while back, and the AI improvements such as terrain avoidance, taxi to takeoff, etc, etc.

I'd love to see the Martin Baltimore in game too! It's an often overlooked type, but saw squadron service with 7 countries according to my sources.

A little confused since I would think a 40% limit would mean the player could not choose a fuel loadout higher than 40%. This would work great on smaller maps making the fuel usage an issue.

difficulty LimitedFuelOption 00
This is the default setting. Online player can choose all fuel settings

difficulty LimitedFuelOption 10
This is the default setting. Online player can only choose 10%

difficulty LimitedFuelOption 20
Online player can only choose 20%

difficulty LimitedFuelOption 30
Online player can only choose 30%

etc.

No need to go past 90% since the 00 option allows 100 percent fuel.

To tell the truth, here is my wish:

difficulty LimitedFuelOption 100
This is the realistic setting. All online players take-off with 100% of fuel. NO LESS!

Thanks.
