Title: Trainers?
Post by: BBBB on March 30, 2003, 09:47:35 PM

I have noticed that there alot of diffrent skill levels in this game. Some ppl come from flying in real life, or a long time combat simmer. There are also alot of ppl that have never flown before ever, much less in a massive online arena. Saying that I would really like to see some training aircraft in the game.
 What I mean is, somthing like the T-6 Texan somthing along those lines. A forgiving aircraft, somthing that a newbie can fly in the training room, rather than trying to cut there teeth in a P51. They can learn the start of flight basics, taking off and landing. Kills are usless if you cant land the plane afterwords.
 While we are on the subject, I would also like to see some spoter planes. Something small, light, with a good range. I know they had them in WWII. I am almost sure of it. This should help to slim the learning curve in the game, making it alitte more fun, and who knows, attracting more ppl.


 On a side note Tues at 8PM Est I will be in the training room, teching flight basics, and ACM. :)

Mostly its been my experience that the people who need trainer airrcraft the most won't fly them.

They consistantly go for the fast, sexy, hot perk planes. Or havn't learned how to change planes yet so are struggling with the pony.

While I'd love to see arty modeld & small observation planes like the L5 given a roll.
I don't expect to see it any time soon.

I think they would be great, just so long as you had some bnoics, also if you were in one it would be easer to spot GVs from the air.... Just a thought.

Well, if you read all the posts in this thread, then you would know that Observation planes wouldnt have a gun site, so then there wouldnt be a place to use the "great big zoom thingy". So like I said bnocs would be neededs, so we could use the "great big zoom thingy" in the game. :rolleyes:

I'd love to see some liason planes modeled!  They'd be fun especially if you had to go from base to base or for pilot rescue/return operations.  Not just for AH2 either, i'm sure i could find a fun use for a Cub or a Stinson in the Main Arena.  "Side missions" such as transporting a bigwig general with fighter cover even in order for "phase two" of something to be a success.
