this was weird.
I got the Heinkel He-111H-2 from capun's site, in the 3rd party mods section. I believe it was modified by Charles. Anyway, I went off after one in my La-7 (wonderful plane), and I managed to dodge the tail gunner fire long enough to put some shells in the left engine and fuselage. It was kinda fun watching the thing go down, it actually sorta glided down to it's demise, unlike the TW planes which spin like crazy into a firey ball of oblivion. However, when it hit the ground, a bunch of pieces fell off,
but it just slid along the ground, and I got no "You gat 'im!" or "Nice Shooting!" over the radio. Furthermore, I could still select it by pressing F6.
After I stopped laughing ("I'm not dead yet!" ), I decided to put it on the cart for good by blowing the bajeebers out of it with my three 23mm cannon. However, no matter how many passes I made and how many more parts fell off and how many hits and explosion sounds I got, It still stood there, sliding at about one knot with one foot (or, in this case, the whole foreward fuselage) in the grave. I ran out of ammo and sidled up beside it for a photo ("man, the guys are never gonna believe this!") , and went home.
My question is: Is there a .ini tweak to make this thing blow up once it hits the ground? I thought of getting rid of all the armor or making the fuel tanks non-self-sealing. I could just go get a different He-111, but the H-2 is my favorite to shoot at (closest to production form, but not totally helpless).
