4.11 realism

[jameson]

I'd just like to fly my 109 like it was flown in the manual. That the ATA meter pointed to 1.0 before you start the engine. Any more revs than 2300 excepting for brief periods and it would blow up the engine. A top speed at 2300 of over 500kph...instead 450kph. I'd be happy then. XXX

I think engine failure 5 out of 10 times might be a bit optimistic,if flying LW in 1944-45 from an occupied country.Sabotage was rife,so really we should have a problem maybe 8 or 9 times out of ten.

Oh, yes. And being an LW pilot, you should suffer from sleep deprivation, bad food and combat exhaustion. What’s more, red opponents should regularly outnumber you, 6 to 1 on average, and up to 30 to 1 on occasion...
Could be very fun!

You fly 45 minutes,and find your guns have jammed when you need them.
You are 100 KM's over the lines,when your oil pressure drops to zero,and your engine quits.
You take off,and your engine quits.
You get to high alt,then without warning your oxygen supply fails,and you die of ashyxiation.
Get rid of the refly button in dogfight servers.You die,or bail out,you have to leave the server and come back in,after losing all your precious points.
Sounds fair to me,after all,we are after realism.

Sounds good to me. I sense that you're sarcastic though I am not.

All those women who love watching south american "telenovelas", should read this forum...

So much drama here... so much drama, heartache and unfulfilled expectations...

So much drama...

What will happen in Season 4, Episode 11???

Is evil Teresa Dosamantes going to ruin another young life? Innocent Rosa, trying to find her way, in the cruel world, forced to choose between Fernando Fighteras, the flashy toreador, or the stalwart but unremarkable Don Skipier El Bombardero... Is the peaceful village of San Arcadas going to be burned to the ground by the bandits of Campo Real???

Don't miss the next episode of "Corazon de Volando Armadillo"!!!

couldn't find a smilie for 'throwing rattle from pram' which would probably be more apt.

Well if you don't agree with realism Kendo no need to trash the thread.Don't quite understand why you put in that last quote,from another thread? I admit I can't skip bomb now,whats the problem? Hopefully TD will make it an option,if not,someone else doubless will.
Is it a problem to request realism options here?
Pretty sure Oleg will incorporate a lot of this in SoW,so if DT can't/won't do it for il2 thats fine,we don't have long to wait.

sounds like a fun-killer to me. unless it is selectable options that only the "full-real" servers enable.

well the luft engine failure rate sounds a bit OTT, but not that dramatic considering the state of the luftwaffe in the final days.

can we also model petrol shortages so only half the serviceable planes can get airborne?

Thats a good idea Titus,had not thought of that! Would be great in a campaign or online war!

[MD_Titus]

knackered radios as well perhaps? instruments kicking the bucket randomly, compasses being out of whack, ammunition exploding prematurely in the barrel?

aye, great additions for proper hardcore online wars or campaigns i must admit.
