Fire in the hole

[HagarTheHorrible]

Just had a brain fart, something that might make things more interesting, gameplay wise.

 

Random fires.    If an aircraft is attacked, hit and starts leaking fuel how about a probability of it just randomly catching fire several seconds or even minutes, after the incident.  

 

Picture this:  You attack an opponent, he starts spewing fuel but otherwise seems unimpaired.  Your opponent turns the tables and is just about to deliver the killing blow, as you watch on helplessly, you suddenly spy the flicker of a flame from beneath the engine cowling and the next moment you see your attacker's aircraft suddenly engulfed in flames. Saved by the fickle hand of fate, your attacker pushed his luck, ignoring the warnings to get out of dodge.

 

 

[Stumble]

I've always thought this would make gameplay alot better. Adding things like this would add this extra sense of realism, just like adding ground vehicles or what not. It may seem a little pointless/waste of the developers time, but I reckon it's worth it.

 

Hope the devs consider it!
