4.12 development update discussion and feedback

[Bearcat]

Hmmm ..

Flight model changes

- Updated flight models for P-36 / P-40 family, SB-2, B5N and Me-163

- Introduction of mach related drag increase for all aircraft

I hope that winds up being a good thing..

Scoring system changes

- Added shared kills (½ point). This can be enabled from difficulty menu (on/off/historical).

- Shared kills are written to event log.

- Damage registering changes. Aerial kills are awarded based on damage amount instead of giving the kill to pilot who shot the target plane last.

- New kill markings in debriefing UI.

- Added optional team score to online dog fights with optional cumulative team score which doesn’t reset team score between missions.

- Player who commands AI bomber bomb release also gets score from all AI aircraft’s bombs that destroy targets.

Great news!! No more working a bandit only to have some putz come in and plunking him on his way down and getting the kill.. I see there are still no rockets for the P-51s..

I don't think it can be a bad thing, but I'll wait to fly them before I judge. I'm pretty excited about the new mach effects, visual effects, and finally options to remove that infernal "Mission Over" in glowing red letters! Opening up the sound files is a great decision also. I can't wait to mess around with it.

Very nice stuff DT! Will there be a PDF release or does that come with the patch itself?
