Great shots Madmatt. What is the brown looking stuff by the buildings? Brush? Rubble spread? Trenchworks?

I forgot to mention how great that AA looks!!! Great job BTS!!!

Hey, I DID see a label in the sky, like the hull penetration label. This is gonna be great...

... and will the shadow help ID the aircraft? Do the silhouettes match actual profiles?

[Fionn]

No, the silhouettes are generic.

Think about it, if it carries 2 500 lbers and a load of rockets does it really matter if its a P51 or a P47 (assuming armament is the same).

Having 1 generic plane silhouette means faster play for everyone.

Just for the record I just shot down a plane and you do not get a message like you do with a tank kill! But you get a cool explosion, or least there was a nice airburst effect I hadn't seen before! I will post this picture soon!

Never really thought it mattered ("long hair, short hair, it's all the same, once yer head's blowed off" -Firesign Theater) but with the other attention to detail we're seeing I had to ask.

Regarding using AA on ground targets, I know that some AA had stops installed to prevent gun depression past a certain point. Target fixation could cause AA fire to track into friendlies- and this was a big problem when AA was installed around airfields, as they could inadvertently shoot up the planes they were there to defend. The stops were removable but I don't know how quickly.

MATT!!!

Sorry, your right- I blew up the picture and the label just reads "Fighter Bomber 819mm". Just got a little excited, you know how it is with incoming... still, the label is awfully close to a Hit Results tag, but I'll say no more... mum's the word...(you gotta admit it would be cool).
