I'll reserve my final judgements until I see them in motion, but if the effects can not be disabled... oh well, I'll just need to get used to them/ go back to 4.11/install a mod with original effects or plutonium.

Thanks for explaining... I believe there is a subtle widening for the effect while it fades... overall I think it looks quite stunning. Especially combined with some of the new fire and flame effects.

When 4.12 is released, I will be defending the Glorious City of Leningrad in my beautiful SB-2, all while listening to Shostakovich's 7th Symphony!

OohRAAAHHH!!!
