Hello,
When explosive packs explode, they just make an explosion sound and some smoke, but no flash and no fireball, what do you think about this? Is it accurate and realistic?
Real explosions don’t make big lasting fireballs on their own… That’s movie stuff. There should be a quick flash.

Yes I agree but it is missing a little something to make it realistic, a little flash / explosion on the explosive pack when I explodes would add some realism. I’m not asking for a big ass fireball !

Fire balls are a movie thing, real life grenades do not produce a fire ball,often times they just make a big dust cloud and send massive amounts of shrapnel flying in all directions, plus the shock wave. Which in grenades it usually isn’t too strong.

Speaking of shockwave, they DID render it, for plane bombs. You can observe the wave when looking from the sky. I suppose such a wave might be the real cause of death for soldiers “safely” hiding in a building but still dying when a big enough bomb lands near…
Maybe more flash would be realistic but i’m more concerned how that would impact fps and performance on lower end systems, since explosions happen almost every time.

The explosion is fine for me.
I don’t want to have fireball inside my TV.
The effect isn’t too realistic, but it isn’t because it’s lacking a fireball. Only incendiary explosives like napalm create fireballs.
Yes that can be an explanation, after all it is kind of hard to keep fighting if your lungs collapsed from the explosion’s shockwave.
