I'm just curious, will game play and success be harder in TOD than it is in AH MA? I know it will be completely different, but overall - will more people throw up their hand and say "the hell with it!" or will more find it manageable?

MA will be the breeding ground, and over all laid back hang out area, TOD will be where we really get some imersion and role play going, i hope! cant wait to be doing full scale missions on a regulare basis!

TOD will basically be a CT combined with MA along with some other elements.

I hope that it doesn't get turned into a barren place and that we'll honestly see some true Nights of the Skie.

It will be easier to have combat successes in ToD because of the inclusion of AI. In the MA, overall player success is a zero sum game at best. Somebody has to die in order for somebody else to score a kill. Putting in some AI units changes that. That said, combat success and mission success are not necessarily synonymous.

We'll definitely have to fly smarter.

No more airborne Quake.

Look at the MA now and the amount of anger and 'flames' that occur both on channel 200 and via private chat. This happens for little reason, anyone and everyone can just re-up.

Now, imagine this...

"You %*@%&, no good %!*(& ! I flew that pilot through the Battle of Britain, through the Rubarbs in France, and you %@*% HO me and I have to restart ALL over again to get my Wing Commander rank? %!()&* YOU"
--

That said, I have little hope for ToD... unless it is very heavily scripted, it will be as far from historical as the MA is right now.

I can hope for runs to Rabaul in my P38, with professional and respectable gents flying around and against me, but I won't hold my breath.

will all AI be same skill?

Think of it like a MMORPG, except in the air.

There will be A.I planes as well as actual pilots flying. Imagine flying with a bunch of Spits (some under your command) and being intercepted by some 109s, and calling for help. A group of P51s on ground attack decide to finish up their run and fly to your location.

Is this possible Pyro, and if it is, is there a chance that this can result in more points or anything?

As long as the bombers have laser like guns and the gunners dont have to deal with things like recoil, turbulance it will be hard

Stang · « **Reply #13 on:** July 14, 2005, 01:36:05 AM »

Buff gunners are my biggest fear for TOD. Anyone that can shoot can mow down multiple targets before getting shot down in a buff formation.

Where do all the concrete "ToD is going to have X and Y and be like Z" statements come from? Have we had any actual specifics laid out yet? I've been hearing about ToD for years and I still don't know what it's actually supposed to be like. Not flaming or trolling, just plain curious.
