How long will a destroyed craft remain in that spot? I wanna beable to see at least a few places of about 3 hour long battles littered with debris. (I know i know lag but it would be kewl to see more than 15 min old wrecks. (Inspired by

only a few minutes probably. why keep wrecks there for 15 minutes?

I dont know the exact time, but it deconstructs after a bit.

Do the aircrafts blowup in middair or crash when they are shot down/hit/whatever.

yea, like when a Galaxy gets shot down does it blow up in the air or does it glide down and then blow up? cause from what i heard people can eject if when the Galaxy gets shot down....and fi its blows in mid air, then how will everybody bail? (this fits too with the other 2 aircrafts)

I hope it explodes, like tribes 2 style at least. As long as it's not the BF1942 plane crashes. SIR! THERES A FULLY BLACK PLANE FALLING ON US!

in battlefield, i like shooting a plane, get a kill for it, then get another one when it falls on someone's head and squishes them :) works best in crowded areas

blow up in mid-air. then fall to the ground. also, don't be under it when it falls.

I hope you can use the hulks for cover against small- and medium-arms fire.

Usually blows up in the air. You get warning before it explodes, giving you time to bail.

Yep. Some incredible battles have ensued with aircraft falling from the sky and tanks blowing up all around, with infantry scrambling to hide between and behind the smoldering wrecks trying to lay siege to an enemy base.

So after the vehicles armor has reached zero you have a couple of seconds to eject before it explodes?

Will it wait for most people to be gone to dissapear. Becasue it would really suck if you were hiding behind it and then it dissapeared and you got killed.

Terik: depends on how high you were when you got shot to pieces. =)

Snatch: I don't think so.. anyways, battles are usually chaotic enough that you don't have a very long chance to hide behind a wrecked vehicle before a mosquito or reaver finds you, anyways. =)
