Bomb craters

[Strike]

I do wish that they'd do with the airplane ground impact effect as they did with the water splash.. When a plane goes into the water, the effect will shoot in the direction the plane was travelling, and at the height equivalent to angle of impact. (I.E if a plane shallow dives the water will spray forwards, but if the plane impacts vertically it will splash straight upwards like in old IL-2)

Now I wish they'd do the same for the ground effect. If the plane explodes on a shallow angle, the fire from fuelspray should go in the direction the plane was traveling creating a "napalmstrike" effect. Right now the explosion and smoke goes up like a miniature nuke :p which is okay, if the plane went vertically into the ground. The crater texture would also in theory vary between a hole (like now) or a long skid-crater type thing in the direction of the crash. Makes it all the more authentic

i think, its looks much better than before, 50kg and 500kg Bomber Crater. Plane Crater looks same, just with Plane wreck, fire and smoke in it...

When you view the craters close up, like when you crash, you can clearly see a square outline around the crater

Plz remove the Bomb craters, it spoils the game

Come on now?! It looks way better than without craters!?

Dont get me wrong from a distance they look ok, but close up they dont
I think they should of spent more time on them, or checked that they looked ok, befor they added them

But Doc, if you are playing the game you wont be near them unless you crash, so surely it's better with them in than without as in most scenarios they will look quite good.

Very true and they don't look that bad...

I hope this to. Guess it has something to do with rendering/fps etc.

Maby some day.
