Current explosions and crash particles are to small and short lived
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

When any air to ground bombs are dropped the explosions and smoke are incredibly small for the payload. Explosion should be at least 3 times the size.

As for smoke. There should be a plethora of smoke coming from crashes and explosions. extending MUCH higher and wider than currently implemented.

Here is a clip of what seems like 2 Jdams in an airstrike.. Notice the size and smoke coverage after the fact as well.

These should also burn for a while (at least 10 mins)

Yeah...looks fine to me but maybe the short duration of the efects is for lagging reasons on the games.

I'm with this guy- there is a fun element that needs to be present in the game and the explosions and flames in the graphics end of things is still-particularly in light of other games- way on the short end of the stick- please improve and thanks

I've always been for the idea of more dust and smoke from explosions (among other things), partly for a more 'realistic' feel, but also having to deal with it in a tactical sense. However, I couldn't back it unless it can be done without a resource hit. People with humble systems play and one way that's possible is to keep the requirements for these kinds of effects low.
