Voted no.. with a big N..
Absolutely no need for it in this game.

[Winger]

I Voted yes. For 2 reasons.

1. I am Marture and i want as much realism as possible.
2. If a series of 20mm shells strike a canopy there is nothing left but gore. So show it to us

As much as i voted yes,
all i want to see is if you get shot in cockpit, Dead, i would like to see pilot slumped, and wounded i would like to see maby a red mist

Even in first person shooters, any kind of blood or 'gore' as it has affectionately become known, is never, repeat never modelled correctly.. also, it tends to be completely over the top and nothing like real life.
I've seen what high velocity projectiles do to people, I certainly wouldn't like to see it in this game.
Everyone who clamours for it as extra realism I would suggest has never seen it, except in films, and that is not the same.
It's a total waste of resources at a time when the devs are hard put to put the game in a fully functioning condition and playable state, without messing around trying to impliment a bit of 'gore' because they think its real..

I hope they don't even try it. This game has plenty problems, the las thing they need is pegi changing the ratings from pegi16+ to M. That would be a huge pain in the arse.
Think about it. New CD covers, informing all the sites and stores out there about the rating change, Pull all the old CDs with the old rating off the market and of course the huge potential for lawsiuts.
Nobody in his right mind wants to go trough all that mess and i hope they don't even think about touching that.

Well I suppose it could be an optional feature, which I would like.

But then the question raises, is it really worth doing it? For that one occasional time you can get alongside your enemy and observe him? In 99% of my cases I pull off my target as soon as I notice he cannot fly any longer, to get to safety.

For the time they put into gore they could also make some other 3D models like planes

War = horrible deads

this is a combat flight simulation right??? so what's the problem with blood
come on please let that false moral for any other discussion.

Please devs, never mind the SDK or fixes to tracks, lets get cannon holes in a body? Please, lets focus on aerial combat first, then add fluff later.

+1

Priorities first. Also, as has been mentioned in this thread, contact with enemy bombers & fighters was usually brief and a fighter pilot didn't make a habit of hanging about and looking into cockpits. Yes, we've all read accounts to the contrary and they stick in the mind because of the sensationalistic aspect, but these were exceptional occurrences and not the rule. I never served combat when in the RCA (artillery) back in 1969, but like many here have been first on scene at a road accident which, for me at least, was gut-wrenching and sickening. (Hats off to all police/fire/paras who do a job I could not). Admittedly escapist, but I just prefer the challenge of machine vs machine in a PC flight sim - don't need the blood 'n guts, personally.

If others want that for immersion, it's of no concern to me. I'd prefer it as a clickable option, though. As cheesehawk indicates, there's more pressing issues to resolve.

[retrojet]

Yes... Clickable option... And see what a hit the performance takes...
I would love a super-duper top of the line system to handle everything... But that's not an option for me! ...Until I win the lottery, that is!

Another overlay is bad enough, but please don't go asking for spurting and sploshing etc. That's 'overkill' for sure!
