Oil Leaks?

just be interested to know

not necessarily, in fact.
It depends on engine and so on. Engines can burst into flame, or just stop, or explode (not sure about last one).
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!

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.

There is no moral in computer games as you are shooting bits and bytes. A guy on a parachute is just a smaller target. But actually I don't care so much about it, shooting planes is fun enough
