Title: Bunch of wishes
Post by: Torquila on December 12, 2012, 06:34:27 PM
- I wish for a gunsite editor built into the game. Into the hanger or a "maintenance shed" (for parts).

- I wish for single button launching, for those days when you just dont want to login, select the most populated arena, the field with the most action, your regular plane and the runway which best suits the enemy's darbar direction!

- I wish for the ability to graffiti any outside part of your plane (except cockpit).

- I wish for tracers to be set on a plane by plane basis.

- I wish for a sensitivity setting for the gunner position when using a joystick.

- I wish only naval aircraft can rearm on a cv.

- I wish for salvo and delay for weapons to be set on a per loadout basis (in hanger).

- I wish for an option to record directly to avi in-flight.

- I wish for the ability to bind squads to a field for added perk points and discounts on perked planes, but they serve
the side who owns it.

- I wish for updated sounds.

- I wish for a new map every 2-3 months.

- I wish for harmless/less harmful clutter (to make ditching easier).

- I wish for water effects when planes fly really low over it.

- I wish for a proper bailout animation.

I agree with the idea of limiting rearming on carriers to aircraft that can fly from carriers.

Sound packs

Can't do it, game engine limits

Basically titanic, when a new map starts, you and your squad can chose to bind yourself to a single field (using some dot command or something) for the entirety of the map. So lets say Bruv and his crew bind themselves to A50 in the last map (TT), then they are only able to take off from that field for the entirety of the map but are given discounts on perk planes and extra perks for missions. But when A50 is captured by another country they have to serve the country who captured them.

This might work better for small squads starting out vs a well established one like the one I used in my example FYI.

- I wish the arena lobby area was moved and integrated into the O'club for each country, and when someone entered; a seat was filled and there was also a background "Chatter" noise! (that might be increased based on number of people there)

- I wish for a "performance benchmark" to be implemented and added to the main title screen!

- I wish for a link to the AHWiki to be provided on the main title screen!

- I wish for a button to hide/show the chat area!

- I wish for a training glider for use in the training arena!

- I wish seeing field supply routes was added to the map view options!

- I wish for a settable time fuze for wgr21 rockets.

Then what about the fight that's 5 sectors away?   If squads were assigned bases, then they should be accountable if they lose it, and if they defend it. But to limit them to that ONE base for takeoff is stupid.

- I wish for the ability to auto-save films to supplement the current auto-film sortie functionality. Having to name/save them each time can really be a bother after a while (specially if you don't care about naming).
Title: Re: Bunch of wishes
Post by: The Fugitive on December 15, 2012, 08:34:18 AM
If you can't be bothered to name them why are you bothering to save them? Just hit cancel and your done.
Title: Re: Bunch of wishes
Post by: Torquila on December 15, 2012, 08:44:35 AM
Cause its for ease of use, most other games have a system like this and having to press enter after every sortie can lead up to hundreds if not thousands of needless key presses and annoyance.

If it was at least made a choice along-side the auto-film sortie option, why would it be a problem?

If you really care to name each sortie, you can just leave it unchecked; if you can't be bothered.

As long as we have an option to turn off the automatic accept join. That way we don't have random newbies joinin our planes  :D

- I wish for a more random effectiveness of aircraft cannon rounds.
- I wish that planes (especially bombers) would not just fall in half after being shot by lots of 20mm/30mm
