Regiments' A-10 has exhaust flames = game ruined, not worthy of the Microprose's name. Right.
At times I wonder. These pitiless experts claim to be the guardians of a legacy they don't actually comprehend. It is sad & worrying both. Not every game is aiming for photorealism 1/3
There must be a place in Hell for him next to whoever put flames on the A-10 in M1 Tank Platoon. There he may also meet the guy who used flames as a visual cue for throttle in A-10 Cuba. As we all know, these were obviously despicable games ruined by this very design choice! 2/3
Flames are here so that you can still spot your unit at night or in a storm. Because Regiments has fully customizable weather & time of day, with changing conditions affecting luminosity dramatically. These are gameplay visual cues. It ain't amateurism. It's smart game design 3/3
