Fire instant extinction

[Roland_HUNter]

Greetings!

Please Developers, do something with the instant fire extinction...it'll make the game pretty unplayable.

Today I set on fire a Lagg-3 with Emil, his fuel tank instantly extinguished.

He dived to the deck, with a pretty big dmg, he still managed to maneuver, but I set him on fire again with my 7.92, and then...again..instantly the fire was extinguished....

Sadly I have not recorded this phenomenon.

But I met with this previously.

Like I said before (which obviously and conveniently was ignored) self-extinguishing fires and 'flash' fires are a real-life thing.

Believe it or not, a sudden flood of gasoline can choke the oxygen supply and put out a fire.

Twice in a row?
Even from the fuselage?
Please...

There are many factors that could prevent the fire from 'taking hold' or that can extinguish a newly-formed fire quickly.  The example I cited was just one.  

Simply because you ignited 2 fires on the same plane does not guarantee that they will keep burning.

Ah yes, they even modelled the delta wood for the lagg3. 

 

Gotta love the level of realism!

NO, someone did a in game test to show how completely ridiculous the fire modeling is as far as extinguishing them. I have a feeling the people wanting it left want to be able to easily extinguish a fire.

I fly a bus of wood, wire and flammable doped linen manufactured by women in a factory owned by a war profiteer with connections to the War Office using sub-standard and cheap material and you think I don't appreciate the ability to put out a fire quickly ?

I fired on a 109 F multiple times. There were gaping holes in the wings and fuselage, yet he still managed to pull tight turns and dives. Also trailing a lot of fuel vapour. Next burst set him alight. Then the fire went out. Ended up killing the pilot and that was that. has the DM changed. A plane thrown around like that with that amount of damage would probably break apart.

Last time when I was hit at wing with 30 mm ,109K4 was pain to fly straight.  Dogfighting was out of option.  The plane capabilities after damage depends of caliber impact, not the visual damage which has only 3 levels of detail.
