Title: alternate pilot wound
Post by: bagrat on October 04, 2006, 11:15:50 PM
hows about having 2 different pilot wounds, one is the one we have now and another where your screen slowly fades to black after a few minutes.

aside from passing out well have a slow blood loss, dieng pilot wound.

also this last one may be too much, but how about that a woozy feeling where your screen slowly turns to (beer goggles) vision.

The current one does show blood loss, in the way that you black out faster and faster until you die.

Could you re-word the description? I think I missed the request

Ok here is what hes saying.

1st Pilot Wound- The same one we have now

2nd Pilot Would- Where you get fuzzy vision, and in turn die soon.

Ah, so like a "fast death" and the one we have now is a "slow death"?

I think for the one he wants he wants a slower death. Although I flew almost home from cv killing and made it like 2 miles from base and died. Tough Cookies is what I told myself...:rofl

ill re-state what i mean.

in addition to the pilot wound we have, we'll have another where the screen slowly blacks out once over the course of a few minutes.

for example after flyin for about 7 or 10 minutes youll be looking through a tunnel vison almost like your trying to keep pulling G's just before u black out.

this is what youll see after flyin for a few mins.

various injuries like blindness, gutshot, missing limbs or loss of hearing would be interesting.

"missing limbs.."

I can just hear my son as he plays AH later on,
"Haha!! Hey look Dad, somebody shot me and my arm is down by the rudder pedals!":huh

He he, can't wait until we get the Counter Strike version approved, then this will be rated "RP", for "Ridiculous Pawning".:rolleyes:

How about we have Hott! nurses to fly home to. Then everyone would like to have a slow death, so they can make it. ;)

From a gameplay perspective the current pilot wound feature is arcane and lopsided IMHO.

While it does give a decent element of advantage to the enemy, that advantage is sporadic and suffers from an "on or off" implimentation. A wounded pilot in AH is as compitent as a non wounded pilot until the black out, then flying the plane is practically impossible. But when the black out is off, there is no performance penalty, only the threat of this sporadic effect getting worse.

I do understand the concept behind the feature, and I do not think its a bad one, my opinion is only that the implimentation is weak.

I believe a better alternative that might be fairly paletable to all is a G tolerence penalty. This system would tax a wounded pilot with an immidiate and un-wavering reduction in G tolerance (bringing on black out earlier), and that effect could worsen to simulate concurent blood loss. The initial limit could be scaled for the severity of the wound and after that initial effect is in place, perhaps a "worsening" could be blended in forcing the pilot to incuur even more limits on flying ability the longer he remained airborne.

G-tolerance is all about blood pressure, and wounding during air combat can be safely assumed to cause loss of blood in "most cases" and therby a drop in pressure. Seems that type of system might provide a bit more elegance to the pilot wound.

Just my opinion.

I've played for 1 1/2 years, the rate of the game evolving is much faster than evolution itself!

Well... the level of graphical representation needn't be any more detailed than it is now, but it'd sure be nice to have different levels of injuries effecting flight abilities at varying degrees.

 Like someone said, what we have is a "ON/OFF" type of damage, the pilot "switching OFF" due to (perhaps) blood loss and pain.. and then suddenly "switching ON" again... for a moment all controls are lost, and then suddenly all controls are regained..

 Perhaps the 'pilot' factor could also be modelled in with damage components, so being injured in one arm would reduce control effectiveness.. serious injuries in both arms would result in immediate control loss.. and a very serious, critical wound resulting in reduced control effectiveness AND the pilot blacking out.. as he does now..

 
 Lot of possible ideas. Let's just hope HT doesn't take too long to bring up some of these minute stuff on his priority list. The way it is now, the smallest details seem to be forever on hold... always being pushed down the bottom of the list whenever something comes up... which sucks.

 Most often the smallest details could bring larger immersion than major component changes. "God is in the details"

Then again if you ever got shot in the eye it's an immediate head wound, and 99% of the time, YOU DIE. Also, if you got hit in the eye, you would never see it go flying, thanks to the fact you can't see out of that eye anymore anyways. And who says that HTC doesen't already have "eye" wounds? Since getting hit in the eye is a head wound, and head wounds blow you up, you would never know if your eye actually does pop out.

So, my resolution is use your imagination when you suddenly tower out after being killed.:D
