Fires, both engine and fuel, can, and eventually will go out automatically now even in ARB even without EFS.
Not randomly.
Fuel depletion, air flow, etc etc
Sure, so you see there is a difference between AAB and ARB DM. The player experience in DM can differ depending on the game mode they play.
I would think that if a fuel fire goes out due to fuel depletion in said fuel tank, it would/should show up black in the damage model? Currently fuel fires can go out without showing the burned out fuel tank as destroyed.
Air flow can now help tremendously in putting out engine fires, but i have had engine fires go out almost immediately even when flying at barely over 200kph IAS, in a bomber.
Im not saying it can’t happen in a fighter as well. Just most of the time engine fires destroy the engine of a fighter and burn down the plane before that happens.
Whereas in bombers i have had engine fires go for minutes, only slightly damaging (slightly yellow) the engine.
Also fuel nor engine fires dont seem to damage anything structural in bombers, atleast on the wings. Not sure if central fuel tank fires cause control wires to get destroyed after long enough burning. Gunners somehow seem immune to fire damage?
Sure, never claimed otherwise
according to gaijin and some of you this is perfectly flyable and has no drag
these are all NS45 APHE impacts (the big one is from a literal rocket with ~5kg of explosive hitting the aircraft)
gaijin please adress this fucking issue because its not even funny atp

Meanwhile at random moments a stray .50cal from a bombers turret has enough kinetic energy at 1.5km to completely shred off a fighters wing at the wing root.
But that’s fine according to some people on here.

Did you RTB or just screenshotted a plane that will fail to RTB, complaining that he is perfectly flyable without half a tail and an engine?
The majority of Germans bombers and heavy fighters have fuel tanks in the body of the plane where the tail controls are which is why in some cases tail controls are lost.
To stop a fire in an engine, turning off the engine manually where the fire is occurring is a more effective solution.
now it feels like a bomber

Didn’t feel like a bomber before? Bombs didn’t drop or something?
and why the copilot its just dead at the start or what if the pilot die the copiitot
theoretically its able to fly the plane
If you lose your plane because of loss of the pilot, it means both the Pilot and Co-Pilot got taken out.
