Title: AH2 Clip board
Post by: Tilt on June 06, 2004, 07:33:37 AM

Is a vast improvement over the AH1 clipboard.....we can access loads of stuff much more easily.............

So what would be the pitfalls of integrating damage report and  bomb sight calibration onto the clipboard............?

Indeed why not have the player lists for channel and range vox coms as a clipboard fold out.........?

or high light those concerned differently on the Roster.

Leaving only the ctrl I, text buffer and text radio line as over lays

I was thee was "no damage list".

There will always be visual info, even more so in AH2 with the oil, blood, bullet hole etc...

You can visually see aileron / flap damage as well.

Gun damage can be seen by which guns fire.

Gear damage can be reflected in the gear indicator lights, elevator / rudder damage can be detected by feel.

So what do we need a damage list for?

Mostly to to prevent the inevitable whines "I took 1 ping and my plane would not pull up, I asked another player and he said I looked fine, the AH dm is BS!!!"

But apart from getting rid of it putting on a clipboard fold out wing so it takes your attention away from whats going on outside is better then having a damage "hud".
