If you get your wish, be prepared for these eventualities:
"G-Damnit! my B-29s all crashed on landing because of the effin wind shear! I want my perks back!"
"My 262 skidded off the runway because of the effin ice ! This game is BS!"
"We were about to win teh war but my M-3 got stuck in deep mud! HTC hates our chess piece!"
"This isn't fair! Our mission can't take off because the fog is too thick but their taking our bases!"
"What the eff?! - we snuck all the way to the enemy HQ and our whole fleet sunk in a typhoon!"
Weather effects may look "cool" or realistic, but won't help make the game better.
I never said anything about typhoons, or ice roads/runways, or anything like THAT. The fog thing, maybe, but decided not to do that. What I'm implementing is just basic poor weather that doesn't have to involve any crazy acts of violent rants and raves in the game. Just because I asked for it, doesn't mean I want ALL of it in the game, just simple things, i.e. rain or snow. These can just harmlessly drop down from the sky while pattering the windshield for a second, then disappear quickly. Same thing goes for the whole t-storm thing, except don't have the lightning kill the player while in flight or in a gv battle. And the terrain doesn't have to be all wet or frozen, just have it go through like nothing.
Whether it helps the game or not, it's just a wish, and I take responsibility if this goes through to pass. But it's like you said caldera,
If I get this wish. If.
