    The big cartoony firery cannon shell explosions and strange looking fires that can happen around the wing roots of aircraft still seem to be in COD. Not quite so sure about the cannon explosions, but I definately hate the fire in the COD forum banner.

    Big immersion killer for me, will we be able to mod these out?

    Not sure if they will change a lot but Oleg said they were still tweaking the effect.

    I don't mind the fire effects of IL-2 in motion...

    The thing that gets me about it is that the actual texture of it never looks like it is affected by the speed of the aircraft...it's the same uniform Hollywood explosion texture in vaguely the right shape.
    Wouldn't have a clue how to go about fixing that though.

    The fire effects just lookings like someone decided to use the MS paint spray button to spray a bit of orange.

    I'd love it if it actually looked like fire licking out of the wing roots, other compies have managed to get fire to look right now computers are more powerful. Luckily I think they've changed the cannon flashes.
