my 0,02$
« on: January 28, 2003, 07:33:23 PM »
lol now we have most whine part of BB here:D

Serious from now
What im expect before HTC relase AH2 from my point of view:

1. As we know TE is great tool, we need another 2 tools
- simply shape editor to create ground objects and  static targets. HT now ilooking for one, but no news so far. Thats give us better looking terrains, more targets to destroy. Ground war can be really great. If we create library of ground objects that lekp terrain builders and HTC make game more interesting and better look.

- for airplane builders system working on rules like in IL2 or MCFS /gmax/. If we get this tool noone can tell HTC "give me this plane". Simply answer can be "go create your own 3d model, skin him, send us all needed data about load, performace with link to historical sources. And uf u do this good enough, with hi end standard we can plug in this plane in to  game". This system works not only on one game. And works great.
This system can be very helpfull for historical events and give member of comunity feel like part of the team. Better plane set, more real planes-vehicycle sets for every arenas. I bet in 6 months we can have allmost all importand airplanes in ww2.

All this with rules: not expect from HTC anything, if u decide build aircraft dont expect free account or any other thing. Everything u do u do for your own satisfaction and for other players. If your model is not good enough HTC can reject your work or send u bact to imrove him

Im sure if HTC write clear rules and requirements we all can be happy. For support creators  one template  for 3d modellers and som skinning tips.

Thats not mean HTC should not work yourself on new planes ;)
All that so save your time HTC crews and give player what they wonts:)

2. Graphic model improvment:
-smoke in cockpit after engine hit
- personal numbers or letters on airplanes

Now we have only possibillity to place squadron logo on airplane. We can go far.  Be great to see place for personal logo for every pilot. Visible only for squad members, or if player stay here longer then 3 months place him to upgradable pack of logos relased every month or 2 by HTC. I know its 4000 bitmaps. But player can chose he want or not see logos on other airplanes /default off/ All that depends from technical possibilyties.

NOw we have default letter markings on aiplanes. If HTC can create new sytem of markings that should look like this. Its easy system but im not sure my english os good enough to  explain thhis idea
Every raf plane have 3 letter markings. We live first 2 /squadron markings/  and 3th letter can be assigned by squad leader to every member on squad.

for example: my squadron have historiical markings RF and members list
 Suave  -A
 Lucull -B
 Asmo -C
 1olo - D
 bummwipe  -E
 fdski  - F
 dasko  G
 .
 .
 FunkedUp  - Z

or if we play Axis planes

Drunky  -1
LeitWolf  2
Urchin  - 3
.
.
.
Wotan- 18

if we play USAF or VVS same like here. Every member of squadron can have your own letter and number placed on side of airplane.
Depends on what plane he play number of letter. For this idea  HTC creators should live only place for markings on tail and system of selection.  MAin skin markings /strips, color plates/ should be untouched. Nice is int?

- holes in cockpit glass and wings/sides visible after hit /similar to il2 /but imho its only dream, for that we need to rebuild whole system, to much work/

- smoke bombs or smokers planes /version of A-20/

- Visibility of  planes in to the sun, now its focus on really small area. Airplanes are only invisibe on close range and right iin to sun. Thats must be enlarged imho

- flares and light bomb to enlight  night targets /thats  for night RAF raids over germany/

3. Gameplay /most of us are "old" enough to not look in game only furrbals;)/

- add SAR system /posted couple days ago on bb/
- add guns overheat when fire /no more lazer burst form ju88/
- add gunners gun shake during fire, for reality
- add strategical recon
-add manned destroyers's with 120 mm cannons turret and torpedos.
- add naval task force wit out  carrier to MA /crusier and DD'S/
- add button "launch mission now" to mission editor
- add manned anti- tank gun on every VH /<50 mm/

- more airplanes ;)
- more gv's;) /solution above/

- remove killing tanks add other gv's when step on ground objects and trees /i lost like that 10 tigers :rolleyes: /

-change bail procedure. NOw we have 3x enter and open chute /default/. Should be "O" for open cockpit and 3x enter for jump, "O" for open chute. Will be more real.

and many , many more things:rolleyes:
with best whines

btw. add for Dale, post reply option  "we buy this idea" or "we dont like this, its hard to make" ;)
