I don't like the ground explosions. It's not a bomb that goes off when a heli crashes, especially not from low height. More like an empty barrel hitting the ground. Might be smaller explosions from fuel and perhaps ordinance, but mostly it's just a sturdy barrel of potatoes.
Are you using SAPHEI rounds? which missiles do you use? I was thinking of getting KA50 III for the Contention server. I think without George or Petrovich AI, i would be at extreme disadvantage playing Solo (for Air to Air). The Hind shines on Contention. Same flight, I shot down both F15C and A10CII and another day a Harrier and F18. Petrovich AI search for targets spam works so well for me. I suppose If i want another helicopter, I should get the Apache for Contention and spam Search for Targets (for George). This is over KA 50. Thanks!
