Riiiight. +1 for a US spelling version for the US people.

It's not like many of them have an easy time already with their own spelling, let alone an Oxford-English spelling. Fortunately there are dictionary extensions for Firefox and other browsers to ease their spelling when typing in a browser.

Thanks Rodolphe! Very nice picture indeed. That's the clearest damage shot I've seen so far. Wonder if the larger holes were caused by larger caliber rounds or .303s striking at an angle?

Cheers

-1 for a US spelling version. I don't think we should ask the developers to have to make adjustments for every country. It's a little desperate when you start to rely on fighting games to educate your country.

Nice pictures of battle damage. I guess the bigger holes do indeed come from the projectiles striking at an angle as Sutts says.

You can see that they are not so round but elliptical in shape, indicative of a line of travel more or less parallel to the fuselage at the time of impact which results in "dragging" more of the fuselage skin along with the bullet as it penetrates.

Perfectly round holes on the other hand would be due to impact at a near 90 degree angle to the fuselage.

Finally, their appearance could also be slightly affected by the camera's viewpoint/orientation in relation to them when taking the picture.

Always nice to go on a collective hunt for the small details :grin:

Nice looking entry damage shots posted here!...it only makes me wonder if exit holes are modeled in SOW, which would be very cool.:grin:
