looked at your replay, made screens of things i don't like the look of:

t1 engineer explosion, way too large flash of lighting, this also lasts for a very short time, making it even stranger

same for t1 scout, but even more ridiculous, you can see scout clearly through entire explosion :/

plane crashing - huge, huge explosion
i expect that this is from the t3 plane, which it would look better for, but still this crash is a bit much, and is quite ludicrous :/
also you can see plane through all the lighting, which is weird.
this illustrates all the problems with sera explosion i think:
1. lighting that can be seen in pic is too big
2.it only appears for 1/4 of a second, making it look like it shrinks hugely
3.you can see right through explosion, and while its huge, it makes it very strange looking, a small white ball like in current explosion in the middle would be great
also look at mantis explosion - its a bit silly, the bright red is not great at all imo
i've also got 2 more pics coming
