I dissagree.

Muzzle flash like we have it now in IL2 is way too smal compared to real life. Should be twice as large / long. Here is the deal - you can't capture its real size on camera, especially not on cameras they had in WW2.


Now witht hat in mind - there was a video on Zeno's webpage - a documentary for streaming, about B-25H's. 'A day in life of B-25H squadron somewhere in Pacific', or something like that... Anyway - even those cameras managed to capture flashes that are wide (high) almost like 2 B-25 fuselages glued together. It was quite a sight - 2 or 3 B-25H's firing those cannons 2 Km away from target and flying formation at the same time.


I'll see if I can find the video so you can see it for yourself.


PS: Guse maybe you can ask Magnum for the link - he was the on who sent it to me in the first place?

EDIT: I see people already mentioned the video.... *runs away*

What in the world are you guys talking about?

I don't care if the flash from the 75mm is like an atomic flash besides the fact it's the 50's doing it....Light goes out in a straight line...THE END. The only way it is coming back is if it has something to reflect off of. So just where from a b25 would you have the dash blinded out like that from...c'mon?!

Blue area's shadowed by fuselage. Yellow flash and lines it can travel. Red the impossible bending of light to a degree you'd win a nobel prize for making it happen.




It's a moot point anywho.....The answer has been given it is as it is.
