How about a "suprise" this time...

[humble]

I know an awful lot of time and work goes into every update. As a result a lot of stuff is leaked out to keep interest up and "frustration" down. One thing I do miss is the lack of unexpected surprises in the recent updates. Way back when we always got a plane (or Vehicle) we were expecting...but also something we didn't anticipate. Hopefully we'll get back to having an unexpected toy under the tree in each update

I would think actually receiving an update should be surprise enough

Hmm June 6th would be appropriate.

One thing I do miss is the lack of unexpected surprises in the recent updates.

In this up coming update, I'd love to find:

The F6 to go as fast as it's supposed too...

The Game clock to resemble any American time (eastern, CNT, PAC, MNT)

The text buffer to remember what channels you use instead of erase them once entering the lobby

An extra text buffer choice for PM's or other ( I use squad, country, room, 200 and vox)

Zoom settings to remember like our standard set views do

For all 50 cals to shoot the same

Proper dawn/dusk colors like in AH1 instead of this muddy overcast look

Three uncapturable bases in TT FT ( place the red square on them)

Squelch on/off choices for range

Rockets to fire first and bombs second when you cycle through your ord

Auto boot of tower sitters after 45 min to 1 hour

Hills and trees to be impenetrable by tank rounds when hiding behind them

To be able to land safely when firmly planted in the yellow arrow of tank spawns instead of getting capture, ditch or crash most of the time

Increase ammo hardness as it is a bunker ya know. Radar, troops and fuel are all out in the open.

A message to new players that asks them if they want to visit the TA for training before entering the main....or something on those lines to help them.


I'm sure I can come up with a few other small easy you would think to fix things like adding links to the helpful thinks section, but I'm tired......OMG the useful link section is up. when did that happen, gave up on checking a couple months back..humm

Better make certain there is a Trainer in the TA at all times before you do that.  It would be better to suggest that they visit the Training Web Site.   Then on that site, put the Training schedule and Trainer contact info on the front page, big bold and obvious.  Simply sending them to the TA would be sending them to an empty arena much of the time.

For all 50 cals to shoot the same

Not sure what your getting at here, but this has been discussed before and I have asked the question personally at a previous con.

1) .50 cal guns are a single "object" and it's definition is constant.

2) They can assign an "object" to a plane.

3) When they assign the .50 cal "object" to a plane ... it's characteristics are exactly they same for all planes that they assign it to.

The .50 cal that is mounted on a Mustang is the exact same .50 cal mounted on an F6F/FM2/F4U/Spit16/P-47/P-38/etc.

There are actually two types of .50s found on U.S. fighters.  One is for a normal installation and one is for a synchronized installation.  The P-40B uses a synchronized installation which has a lower rate of fire than the normal version.  They are still the same in a bullet per bullet comparison.

As for them using different characteristics, that's not how the system works.  Lethality, rate of fire, muzzle velocity, armor penetration, etc, is not set on a plane by plane basis.  There's a weapon file that is set up with all that information.  None of that info is defined in any of the plane files, it just says go use this weapon for this hardpoint.  These planes(with the exception of the P-40B) are all set to the same weapon. 

Now this is not to say that your perception is wrong.  It's just that what you attribute as the cause of your perception may be what's wrong.  For example, compare the FM2 versus the P-51B.  They have identical guns(I did verify all of these).  Yet you note that one is much more effective than the other.  What other differences are involved that may account for the disparity?  Is it really that you are using different weapons or is it that you are using the same weapons in a different way or against different things?

I would like to see that when one assigns "tower" views ... they remain constant for ALL towers on ALL maps ... just like they are constant for planes.

The .50 cal that is mounted on a Mustang does not shoot like the FM2 or others at all. Any back pressure on the stick makes it shoot low instantly.  Try it.

That's the plane.  The stick doesn't do anything to the gun except from pulling the trigger.

Slap - I think the problem is that the towers keep your head positions but don't rotate them to match the airfields' rotation relative to the map.

these are 3 very excellent ideas...and i wonder if they should mayhaps be transferred to the wishlist?

i'm confused? backpressure would pitch the nose up? so if anything, they should go high?
