Gore

[philip.ed]

I voted yes. Not from a sadist perspective, or from a genuine wish to see 'blood and guts', but rather because of the fact that I feel it is easy to get complacent with the game. By this I mean that it is easy to go after a plane and try and aim for the pilots, or to relish from the fact that a quick hit to the cockpit can result in almost immediate victory. Seeing blood (I can't imagine that you would see a limb sever when dogfighting) could be shocking, but may also hit home the truth that you are ultimiately aiming to kill the opposition.
I don't think it is necessary, but I would play with it on, because to me the game is a simulation, and whilst dogfighting is fun, I think players have to appreciate that there is nothing glorious about war. I always find that hollywood films with gore (as over the top or unrealistic as it may be) hit home the true effects of war a lot better than films where the actors die in a comic fashion.

Just my 2p. I fully respect Trooper's view, and lift my hat off to him for his service to our country.

The desire for gore or no gore is simply a matter of taste..
In my opinion the presence of limbs blown off is in very bad taste..!

Look fellas, the thing I love most about flying online against my brothers in arms is the spirit of the contest. Matching my skills as an aviator (albeit virtual) against your skills.
I gain plenty of satisfaction when I occasionally do everything just right, and send my competitor to the ground in a trail of smoke.

I really don't need to see you decapitated...

Think about it,

Peace

I agree on the prioritization of this, it's pretty darn far down in the list. I voted for gore, but I think the poll is faulty as it has too little categories.

I don't want separated limbs, missing heads and guts but a clear indication that a pilot was hit and depending on the angle of the hit that might be some blood splatter in the instruments / windows. It would be an immersion thing to get a quick glance of it when for example your wing mate gets bounced out of the blue.

Agreed 100%, I would not want to see 1C spend any time and money on doing it.. over other things.. But at the same time if they did do it, I would be more than willing to turn on all the gore!

Put another way I could take it or leave it but I would not kick it out of bed for eating crackers

hmm well gore has its place in any war simulation game really. I guess it just depends on what type of simulation game you want. I for one have not noticed it missing while playing IL246 but I would put my self into the category of someone that would be pleasantly surprised to find a blood spattered cockpit and a slow red out as I bleed out, after one of the up coming patches. This has been something I find very fun playing ROF. when i see those red boarders around the screen the race is on to get out of combat and down to the ground on my side of the line before i loose consciousness.

I voted for gore by the way but I am assuming by wanting gore no one is thinking that means Exploding body parts and people being sawed in half by gunfire or ripped apart by G forces while trying to bail out of a plane flying to fast and spinning wildly. I know that this was a reality of the time, and I would not complain at all if it was put into the game but that is not really what I would be asking for when I vote on the subject Just a basic bloody mess and either I am dead rite away or have time to try and get out of the fight before bleeding out.

My 67 cents worth.

Cheers
