DPS Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 I decided to undertake a scientific study to determine which air combat sim produces the biggest explosions. F4AF won hands down as regards TNT equivalent, but I think Lock On’s looked best. The results are illustrated in this 2 min video. WARNING contains scenes of warfare and dodgy editing. Here's the preview/easy download Google Video streamed version: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2630422583139724023 And here's the link to the higher resolution WMV file: http://www.dpsflight.com/ExplosionGraphics_0001.zip DPS.

Pilotasso Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 F4AF has rather rudimentary explosions and damage efects. Typical of a DOS game or worse.

Guest Cali Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Nice video, LO's explosions need some work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmonaut Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 You went to a finishing school in Switzerland? :suspect: In terms of just a normal explosion then I have to say I like IL2 PFm. It's as funny as hell online when a bomber manages not only to take out the entire airport but anything that’s flying over it as well with just one bomb. :surprise: Cozmo.

S77th-GOYA Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 FB/PF Ju-88 Mistel is the winner of biggest explosion, hands down. Drop it and run like hell to get away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaizokubanou Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Why didn't we get to see the explosion from F4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disso Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Why didn't we get to see the explosion from F4? You did. But you were blinded. ;) SU-30MKI F/A-18F ...Beauty, grace, lethality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPS Posted September 24, 2006 Author Share Posted September 24, 2006 Gaizokubanou - weapon dropped from 7,500'. Big mistake, pilot evaporated. Pilotasso, you'r right. You know what they say in F4AF: 'Never, ever get out of the cockpit - you won't like what you see'. I must revisit IL2 sometime soon. I seem to remember strafing a column of vehicles and seeing figures jumping out and running for cover. A nice touch. On balance though Lock On's fire/explosions look better, especially if a strong breeze has been set in the options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disso Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 I thought it wasn't a fare comparison though. I mean there are plenty of far larger weapons which you could have used from the LOMAC arsenal. SU-30MKI F/A-18F ...Beauty, grace, lethality.
