Title: just ideas for thought
Post by: RoGenT on December 15, 2008, 05:13:18 AM
Most likely not many of these ideas will appear in the game, and some have been brought up in past but hey, its the wishlist so might as well throw some ideas in the pot  :D


1.wing is shot off while the plane is turning sharp or whatever, the plane will snap even more so then it does now (saw that happen in some old WWII gun cam, believe it was an 190).

2.Maybe add some more debris in the explosion of plane, and/or tank (although the turret popping up in air is already pretty cool)

3. I saw this the other day and thought it was be cool, but have wreckage of plane/tank that is dead

4. Add maybe field hospital, not accessible for players but can be destroyed like other extra places that can be such as ammo factories, cities, etc

5.  Too high of Gs, pilot can not bail out (agreed with idea brought up in past)

All i can really think of at 3:12AM

#1. I dont know about this.....Spitfires spin nicely when de-winged at +6 Gs.  :devil

#3. This would be like terrian damage.....lot of mixed feelings on that one.

#5. Agree here....also add some time to excute the bail out. Right now you can bail at 2000 feet headed straight down and still make it.

#2/4. All for more eye candy and stuff to blow up.

I think G stress is part of the damage model. Parts break easier from impacts if under stress. I could be totaly wrong, I remember someone saying so and being pretty sure of it, but cant recall if he was corrected or not.

Random debris (e.g. a couple of different pre-animated debris showers) would be neat..

I certainly would appreciate more eye-candy on the damage model. Perhaps even extend the damage model to include more realistic options. For example, different portions of the wing can come off, not just two points (wing-tip and entire wing). Also some planes could no longer control their ailerons once a sizable portion of the wing-tip came off.

It'd be nice to see more eye-candy like Denholm said. More falling debris from blown up planes would be interesting. Flying along and see a random wing from a plane up above...
