Ah Chuck Norris....That explains why you only shoot planes once.
They always go down from your first kick.

I always had the feeling, when bailing out, that humans had too little drag. The plane and the bailed-out pilot have too similar relative speeds, and I think the pilot should slow down more violently. Don't you think so ?

You are right, realistically, the plane should scream past the pilot. Alot of pilots were injured hitting the rear section of the plane when bailing out.
But for a sim of this age what we have is not bad.

Hi Pilots!

I thing, it would be great to give to the pilot a gun to defend himself.
Guys did You know that the last aircraft shoot down in European theater of WW2 is Fi-156, which was shot down from the pilot of American "Piper Cub", while the American pilot used his personal gun to shot the motor of the German light aircraft.

Well...so...Oleg, give gun to the pilot!

Lol that happened ONCE (ok it might have happened another couple of times) during the six year war and you want Oleg and team to waste time on that?

To think some folks call those lovely targets uhh trains a waste of time.

I can assure you JoeA, if we have gun, it would happens millions of times in this sim. Just imagine how many aircrafts we have destroyed in this sim 1 000 000? Or may be 10 000 000...I do not know, I believe, we have destroyed all aircrafts built in the entire ww2 period in this sim...well...gun is good idea, look, we already have machine guns rotating in to the cockpits - gun is easy to create. And you can use your gun against other pilots on the ground. I know historical cases, when in Khalkhin Gol, japan pilot and russian pilot keep fighting on the ground with saber and knife, after air combat which finished with bail-out for both pilots.

You want the "Storm of War" series to be a first person shooter (with aeroplanes)?

I don't think I like that idea...I can just imagine the string of threads we would be flooded with...

1) Why don't we have Luger's?
2) I don't think that the 303's in the Enfield rifle have the same hitting power as the 303's in the Hurricane.
3) When will Oleg add knife throwing?
4) We need a better "health/stamina" system...maybe something like COD.
5) The box said that this was a FPS but the makers spent TOO MUCH TIME ON THE AIR PLANES!!! This game SUX as a FPS!!

Well proton45, this is shooter sim, all I am doing is shooting but using my aircraft as a BIG FLYING GUN. Bang-Bang-Bang...Who shoots sharper - he wins. Look, just one gun - Luger is good idea...but no grenades, and no throwing of knives (Lol).

That wouldn't be so bad, but I'd be o.k. with it if there were a count-down timer that started as soon as you touched down in your chute to make your way back to friendly territory or if it only allowed that function (i.e. pistol gunnery) while you were in your chute. That would prevent some bored slacker from just flying over to an enemy airbase and running around in "first person mode" picking guys off at their airbase with his luger or .45 and snickering at his ability to pwn until he gets kicked from the server...and under the right circumstances, it WILL happen. That's just one example of why I do NOT want FPS capability in this FLIGHT sim.

There are inherent differences between shooters and flight sims whether you want to see the light or not.
