Explosions

is not a bug but is a request , Please Eagle Dynamics Please , improve the explosions. They are too basic for year 2022. 

when i drop a bomb the impact look like a firework ( but a cheap firework ) 

Please you can do it!!! I believe in you

Probably worth moving to the “wish list” section

  If you're expecting big fireballs that's not realistic.

Yes, its basically dust with a little flash, big flame outs only if they hit fuel tanks or something like that and hollywood.

 

For example:

or this:

 

I'm just googling stuff here.

I think what we have is not that bad, but always room for improvement.

Also, it would be nice if there was more variety in explosion types. But it is probably safe to say that looking at an explosion effect from the air will be quite different then viewing it from ground level. The linked video above is a perfect example.

Compare the explosion at approximately 1: 01 in the time line to the other 3 views of the same bunker busting bomb exploding. All you see at 1:01 is dust, but viewed from different angles shows a huge fireball.

To get a better appreciation of the explosion effects in DCS, setup a ME battle where you view a group of ground targets at ground level being hit with various weapons from both ground and air units.

ED has dedicated personal making explosions effects.

By ED talks, your plans has build incendiary effects and continue improve explosions.

Yes, The explosions need some love.   Not so bad, but every explosions are similar. there is no different between how big the bombs are or which direction can arrived from. the explosions' smoke and dusts go always vertically. there is no counting the inertia of the moved ground by bomb.  Or there is no effect if something block the ways of  smoke or dusts  and they can move only sideways as the example video is showed above.  And not only the ground explosions. the air explosions are also always the same . it doesn't matter  where can hit the aircraft always boke 3 pieces  one fuselage and 2 wing tips, and also the two wingtips are burning much longer and stronger than the fuselage one , but I don't know why, because most of the time the wingtips are not carry any fuel .at least not much than the fuselage.  There can be modifying some vary in these damage.

sometime it is very funny to see when there are some update which are fixed something not so visible or  not big problem but there are some which are high visible and never touched  to fix it or update for ages .
