The 'crash landing' option is rather interesting. When both planes get their engines blown to bits after a head-on...gliding for 20 turns because we have fuel (and the end game option for no fuel doesn't kick in) is rather tiresome.
This post in another thread got me to wondering ...
If your engine is destroyed, why are you still using fuel?
And why should running out of fuel in a plane without a working engine be an issue?Having all the engine boxes checked doesn't mean your engine has quit it means it no longer runs well enough to do anything but keep the plane in the air.
I had thought about that possibility. However, once all the engine boxes are hit, the engine cannot take further damage. Since by this logic the engine is still working (although very poorly) shouldn't it be possible to continue to damage the engine and eventually make it stop working completely? Since that doesn't happen, this explanation did not work for me.
