One time I landed and was taxiing near (but not really close to) a burning TU-95 and when it finally exploded, my aircraft took noticeable damage from the explosion. I was actually surprised I was damaged given the distance I was away from the Bear. No systems were damaged but there was an audible bang and visible damage to my aircraft. Interesting. I just flew the Ka-50 in 1.2.10 the other evening and put rockets on either side of a soft truck (within a truck length). The truck was still operational until I was able to get a direct hit.

"Pacifism is a shifty doctrine under which a man accepts the benefits of the social group without being willing to pay - and claims a halo for his dishonesty." - Robert A. Heinlein
The average naval aviator, despite the sometimes swaggering exterior, is very much capable of such feelings as love, affection, intimacy, and caring. These feelings just don't involve anyone else.
