One thing that should be still improved are the smoke columns emitted by vehicles destroyed or by damaged ships or that one available in the FMB to emphasize the buildings striked during the air raids. The smoke columns in Il2 rises vertically and this is highly unrealistic because the smoke usually spreads rapidly and diagonally respect the ground. Some attempts have already been made but the results are not yet realistic. Even the flames available in FMB are somewhat unlikely and those developed by Stuka_40 are not realistic even from faraway. A MOD of flames and smokes more natural would be a big step further in the realism of the air attacks at low altitude.

Well, i think that kind of effects (smoke/fire) which you want at the moment are not possible, because in il2 there is only 1 effect file that makes "smokes" and 1 other that makes fire for buildings, and with these limitations you can't do so much, ( someone must edit or make new class files that can make different kind of smokes and fires) if you remember by default there is no fire and smoke effects in the game, beside that kind of effects showed in picture, i think will not be so frame rate friendly!
