Yep. I was right about the ability to bail, but I heard you had to pause to use that option. I hope you can have a list of options by hitting "select".

So if your squadron is in the air with you does that mean you have to parachute then run back to your base to find aircraft in the hangar?

I think once you bail, I'm sure you'll have the option of waiting till you hit the ground or maybe tap a button to jump into the next plane.

And of course we're not going to run back.

Depends on which plane. In the original you could eject from the he-162, an me-262 varient, and an IL2 varient I think. But ejecting was very primitive and not like how it today. Back then, you had to punch-out, unbuckle yourself, then deploy your parachute. The idea was simply to clear the plane, not do everything in one sequence like modern ejection seats. But yes, it would still be neat.

Also try not to get knocked out by your own tailplane.

That always sucks. A familiar death message from the days of Aces Over Europe.

Speaking of effects, once you've shot a plane down, what happens when it hits the ground? (Besides the obvious fiery explosion) We've all seen how amazing the buildings, trees, etc. look in this game, and I know I'm asking too much, but wouldn't it be cool if the plane actually had an impact on the object it crashed into? For most of us who have played flight sims on the ps3 or 360, you probably know that even if you slam into an object at over 300 miles per hour you usually just explode and get a subtle GAME OVER message, and the object you crashed into still stands there mocking you. What I'm saying is it would be nice to see bullet holes rip up the turf or shred a building.

Can anyone elaborate?
