But for sure when oil run out (that usually takes minutes, sometimes up to half an hour, not seconds, you know) engine will stop.

So also comes to water tanks damages and to fuel tank damags (in fact leakage of fuel doesn't mean fire and explosions in reality an in our game too. moreover, the less fuel in tanks the more probablity of explosions on hit.


PS I think it is easier to check this by yourself in training mode when you buy a full game.

WOW! Thanks Kirill, just to say, you guys have done a great job on this game. The 360 is FINALLY going to have a decent action flight sim. Bravo!

For bombers there are for example

etc,
or just bomber release it's bombs and cannot be target more.
When bomber cannot perform mission or\and report 'return to base' it becomes 'grey' target, that means that you ave completed your mission with this target, but this is not a confirmed kill.
When you kill pilots all indicators removed from target. That means that you not only do your job, but will get comfirmed kill (as this aircraft will fall down sometime for sure). Fighters usually haven't 'grey' state, and when you kill a pilot they usually stall in a few seconds.

PS Yes, it is INSANELY detailed and cool

Awesome news!!!!! I want I want I want, or I will take the demo for now.

Anton said there would be no gore during missions so I doubt it.

They should have let us kill the Germans on the parachutes.

On IL2 for the PC I would shoot the Russians after they bail out when I was German.

I think that it is immoral to kill someone after bailing out since they have already been defeated in a dogfight and the fact they will most likely become P.O.W.'s afterwards anyway. I know it isn't real in the game, but still...

Plus, the game was developed by Russians and MANY Russian pilots were killed after they bailed out in WWII, so I'm not surprised.

Edit: This would probebly give the game a Mature rating.
