'At their own risk and peril'
...
Quote:
During the early part of the war, the Seenotdienst was inaugurated by the Germans to rescue airmen downed over the sea, using Heinkel He 59. These aircraft were painted white and adorned with numerous red crosses, could carried armaments and were observed carrying out reconnaissance tasks. The British government duly gave warning in a communiqué of 14 July 1940 that such planes would be considered legitimate targets. Quote:

btw .. the adjustable gore feature was implemented in the very first IL2 game but was never really that popular .. it only worked on a few aircraft like the original Emil, basically spraying blood all over the cockpit glass when viewed in external view. I am not even sure if it still works in IL2_1946 it could well be disabled. |

I'm for horses. European horse stocks were almost entirely wiped out through use as pack animals (or food towards the end of the war). This element of the destruction shouldn't be overlooked.
Something for the modding community once the SDK is out, I should think. |

I'd say that perhaps we should include horses in SoW - if not in BoB then in whichever upgrade represents the final stages of the European war. Pilots on the axis side (purely in the interests of realism) will be obliged to eat them. Along with dead dogs, and the occasional rat if they get lucky...

At least the British gave a clear warning that aircraft acting outside the guidelines stated in the Red Cross Convention would be considered hostile and treated as such. Cheers! Last edited by Skoshi Tiger; 09-01-2010 at 08:09 AM. |

I'm no programmer, but from what I understand a good, detailed horse would be hard to portray with minimal resources. Plus I think most horses have four different gaits and some north European breeds have five (don't ask me why I know this stuff....maybe it is five and six). With the team's attention to detail, I could see a four month delay to get the horses just right lol. BTW, I DO get a frame rate hit with X-Plane and birds/deer. I have a decent video card but only a so-so processor. I would still feel bad having to shoot horses....I might just try to shoot the teamsters.... Splitter |

Poster 2: "Rubbish they are fine where is your evidence." Poster 1: "German breeds were known for sturdiness and had 5 different gaits, here is a link ... ". Poster 2: "Wikipedia does not count as evidence they make it up as they go along, and anyway the Wehrmacht horses were not the good breeds and were half starved." Poster 1: "Rubbish here is a report from an SS Artillery Officer comparing Soviet and German transport horses in 1943 ... " Poster 3: "Actually its not the gait that matters its the nature of the tack and rigging and US Army horses were far fitter and better suited than either." Poster 1: "Not for European conditions they weren't, German horses excelled in cold climates." Poster 2: "You made that up troll ... plus the Nazi's mistreated horses everyone knows that .. " Poster 1: "Your mum smells like a Troll and so does your face ... " Poster 1: "Fascist ... " Poster 3: "Your all commo hippies ... " |
