Some ideas for Multiplayer Campaign

[viktorkm89]

I must really say I lowe this game it is a great air combat simulation.

 

But as a former Battleground Europes player I always have problem with short games that have "no" or small meaning.

 

 

This game would really shine if it would support some kind of an ungoing Multiplayer campaign.

For example, a ongoing campaign that will last for maybe a week or a month.

And have people sign in for a specific side for that whole campaign. Or if that feels to strict for people who want to fly both sides, a downtime timer of some hours or so before you can join the other faction.

 

This would mean that the frontline will move back and forth on the whole big map.

 

Depending on how advnaced you would like it to be there is alot of things you can intergrate.

For example supply planes who fly in and drop of essential suppy to the more frontline airfields, or even drop parachut cases over your own troops.
 

More airplanes gets available and can be flown in from HQ's far away from the more frontline based airfields.
Tank regiment and infantry regiment moves on the map and engage the other nation, and can get supported from pilots.

This would work even bether if you have one or a few assigned HQ/quartermaster on each side that choose all the big tactical decision, where to order in extra planes, when and where to moce with tanks or infantry, assigning objectives etc etc.

I know this engine is not really supported for this but it would make it such a more rich experince (its already a very rich experience), but its always more intriguing to have some "bigger" things to fight for!

The old IL2 had this sort of stuff in spades with all the virtual wars and it was absolutely amazing.

 

DBS run a Friday night co-op if you pop in to the esport section you will see their posts.

 

Other than that the kind of stuff you are talking about is very thin on the ground...apparently everyone just wants to furball

Go on the Virtual Squads and eSports section of the forums, choose eSports. It should be the first post there There is a thread explaining everything in detail.

TWB has some cool happenings up their sleeve. It's historical based. So the war progresses like it progressed bit team scores are kept to determine a "tactical einner".

Found a poll from earlier this autumn, about that they want to make this kind of multiplayer experience.

Anywhere to follow the development of that?
