Hey everyone I'm just here to propose an idea and make sure to give your opinions on it or other ways the basic idea of this can work. To start off the basic idea of this MPCC (Mission Planning Control Center) is to basically have a channel or maybe even a room in game in which squadrons can communicate with one another and create large scale mission plans. Just a disclaimer I don't care what the name of this idea is. It can be Command Central or Squadron Planning for all I care. All I care about is the basic idea of this.
Anyway the general way this would work is you would have something like an HQ or very well the actual HQ in game. This room would be the place where possibly liaisons from each squadron in the game would coordinate with a mission planner to create large scale missions. There could be a mission plan map in the room in which squadrons could be tasked with different objectives. For example the 187th Dodo Birds could be tasked with taking out hangers at a vehicle base while the 1800th Dive Dombers would be tasked with bringing troops and taking out hangers at the vehicle base to the north of the main target. This would all be visible on a chart and map that has the basic information. Such as who is squadron leader, what route the flight is taking, secondary objectives, pilots in mission, squadron estimated time of arrival, etc.
This could lead to large scale complicated missions to take place in the game. Usually Aceshigh just consist of squadrons making missions by themselves or mission planners making missions in which individual pilots for the most part join in this large swarm of aircraft. In all my years of playing Aceshigh the most complicated mission I've ever seen was this semi simultaneous 3 base take mission. It consisted of a ground assault, a bomber run, and heavy fighters taking out 3 bases at once. Two of the bases were taking out around the same time, but one proved to be difficult. After a quick regroup though the base was taken about 10 minutes after the other 2.
The reasons I would like to see this is because missions only get so good and at time they can be rare. I feel as if country teamwork can be extended if given the right tools to do so.
Again though I'm just giving the basic idea of this and is no way the exact way I would like to see it implemented into the game. Just as another thing I would really like if you could actually enter the HQ in the game and have it look something along the lines of this.
Maybe even have a self portrait of Hitech in there or something.
Well there it is what do you think?
Do you think a system like this should be put into Aceshigh?
Do you think people would actually use it?
