    Thanks for scenario!

    I have a question, though.
    Do drones have "normal" DM (like manned planes) or their DM is something different? I ask this because i've killed 4 drones during scenario and all of them just exploded (like after PK) after i've put enough lead in them. I never saw drone loose a tail or wing, or even drone with a fuel leak.
    And my general impression about DM is that planes are too tough. For example, it took entire ammo load of 2 P40 to bring down 3 bettys (zippos, heh ;)), zero took 60*12 and around 150*7 and died from over-g.
    I myself (P40) was badly beaten by betty's otto (heard pings for 2-3 seconds) and lost only left gear.

    drones have the same dm as players,
    but drones now have three simplifications:
    1.drones loose but don't feel lack of minor details, such as ailerons.
    2.drones are out of order when any critical part is destroyed, such as hstab.
    3.drones are just immediatedly exploding instead of spiral fall. not coded yet.

    -exec-, about #3, AFAIK franz already coded drones spin... AFAIK again, if drones dead, it falls down in flames just like players plane...:)

    Monstr,
    I see you was firing to me, not my wingman. Of couse I was invulnerable, and you was unable to kill my Li2.

    Ok, sorry, I had searched for string "f12", but already find message "HOST-(Host): Field 12 closed" :)

    PS: someone had complained about "20% fuel limitation" at scenario. I guess this rule can be disabled for scenario.

    Not sure about South Pacific terrain , but at New Guinea the limitations of fuel are inherent to tarrain... at NG2 map only Big fields has 100% fuel, mediuns has 60% and small 40%...

    neg, initially I fired to right wingman. When I became too close, I turned to left
    and fired the rest few %% ammo to other plane. Then rammed it and lost wing.
    (cool feature, not immediate explode :))))
