Yes but the Gladiator cutting the tail of that Br20 really confused me: according to the power of these 0.303s (again: "realistic gunnery OFF" right?) if you make the 20mm more powerful you would need 2 hits to obliterate a Blenheim..

Hi Manu, just a reminder that oxygen bottles are often located in the rear fuselage - I can't say where specifically for the Br.20, but it could explain the sudden detonation.

Plus as the vid creator stated he used the non-realistic gunnery option just to get some of the shots he needed. Given Oleg & Co's modelling of the .303s in Il-2 seem to be roughly right, I don't think you'll have too much to worry about old bean.

It's looking great so far. Thanks for this update. A few things i noticed or came to my mind. It could be because of graphics settings but i saw a lot of repetition in the sea surface (texture tiling). Maybe also because of the settings there was this tail that came off from the plane, without some kind of heavy explosion would this realy happen? I haven't seen any real footage of this (yet) Lastly, bullet impact on the planes looks so real, but with small debry coming off it would be perfect, not just the big parts. Some kind of FX system could add a lot here.

typhoon tails came off without being hit, but this is probably to do with realistic gunnery being off, at a guess. also would you really be able to see small fragments of metal, or would it not be more deformed skin (rather than losing small fragments) if hit by non-explosive rounds?
