COD Script/C++ ability (I can't do it but check out what the ATAG and ACG guys did with this, very powerful)

[Stick]

         IL2   Landing  and Navigation lights on aircraft.

                 Searchlights that work with correct intensity.

CLoD Sun. I like how it blinds you

CLoD decals and weathering on planes

CLoD system of using custome scripts in missions. Maybe even better, look at what Bohemia software did for Operation Flashpoint (and I guess now Armaa?). Having scripts mean you can debug them without the need to change all mission files that use them.

 

RoF visibilty distance, zoom etc

RoF Flight & damage model

RoF Gui, QMB

...

[=IRFC=Huetz]

RoF QMB, AI and Viewing System above anything else.

 

CloD engine management (in depth enough to provide a challenge during combat, not just some candy to play with while cruising around)

 

CloD gunsight adjustments - if you know how to use them and have hotkeys, they're invaluable

 

CloD/original IL2 network code/options - performance and more objects over candy please

[VaeTibi]

For the theatre fitting ships, that are moveable, same goes for all land vehicules.

The possibilty to deploy and properly use night fighters.

Search and rescue missions.

Long range recon missions.

[FlatSpinMan]

Interesting thread. My PC just died two days ago and my wife bought a Mac to replace it, so I'm really hoping I can get Bootcamp sorted and try and play these again - it's been ages.

 

- From COD I actually liked being able to personalize your pilot. 

  The game never really worked for me as my PC wasn't man enough to run it, so that's about all I know.

- World War 2 planes!!!!!

 

- From RoF the campaign generator was really fun I thought

- Pilot biographies and photos (or even the the ability to create your own)

- Plane models looked great to me

- Ability to run on a wide range of systems - my old one was underspec but it actually ran quite well (on lighter missions) and looked really good. With all the bells  

  and whistles turned on it must be excellent.

- Presentation - loved the mission generator menues and career screens

[DD_Arthur]

il2 1946 COOP

 

Yes please!!!!!!

[JG4_Greif]

Chat and coop like it is on the Hyperlobby for il2 1946. So we can fight some wars again (like il2 war, airforce war or vow reloaded)

[Krupi]

COD Pilot bailing animation, more immersion rather than seeing a figure pop out of an aicraft (not asking it to be there from the get go but in the future)

 

+ Proper Bail out manouver or risk a tail strike.

[150GCT_Veltro]

I would like for a 109 the same feeling we have in RoF when engine is starting. In CoD was simple a sound and nothing else.

Edited December 17, 2012 by Veltro

[FlatSpinMan]

Ooh, bailing out. Luxury. Spoiled blimmin' COD players! 

[AdlerAngriff]

ROF career

CLOD level of detail, not necessarily graphics detail

[FTC_Karaya]

This has neither been featured in CoD nor RoF as far as I know but:

 

1st person bailout animation

 

It's an immersion killer when you are flying your aircraft 1st person, then get shot down by AAA or whatnot and once out of the aircraft you're watching yourself hanging in the chute from over the shoulder

 

I want to see my pilot extract himself from his stricken aircraft first person, maybe experiencing a few somersaults until he has stabilized and is ready to pull the chute, that would be insanely awesome!

Edited December 17, 2012 by JG52Karaya

[BlitzPig_EL]

RoF:  Operating stability. (though to be fair since the last patch CloD is perfectly stable for me)

 

CloD:  Cockpit damage modeling, both graphic and in game engine.

 

CloD: Aircraft interaction with the ground (crash).  No bouncing planes, and lets have visual damage to nose of aircraft when hitting the ground at 100 knots +.   Also persistent visual representation of crashed aircraft and ground objects.  A "clean" battlefield is a total immersion killer.

 

IL2/46:  Coops in the original IL2 format.

 

CloD:  Full aircraft equipment.  None of this having to purchase critical instrument nonsense.

 

RoF: Continued interaction of the developers with the community.  Jason and crew are very good at this.

 

RoF/CloD:  Maintain the immersive feeling of flight that both sims are quite good at.

 

RoF:  Basic GUI/Hangar system.  I like the "museum" approach, though updated for WW2.,

 

I'm sure there are more, but I have to get back to work...  Antique cars don't fix themselves...

 

:D

 

 

 

 

[[KWN]T-oddball]

close to a 1000  people online like in IL2's hayday and HL support or a VERY similar game browser

[slm]

No idea what kind of missions ROF already has, but compared to CoD I hope focusing on playability.

 

I wish they would take a look at the 3rd party SW that allowed making automated IL2 multi player missions

FBDaemon, IL2 Server Commander etc.

See the best new features like limiting the number of plane types, different mission goals which need to be achieved for eithe team to win and so on.

[Jaws2002]

Basically what i would like is

early Clod lighting/graphics engine. This one was so far ahead of everything.
Clod 3d models
Clod damage modeClod arming setup.
Clod complex engine management as the bare minimum
ROF Quick mission builder
ROF career. (i never used this one, but any combat flight sim needs a good dynamic career to survive)
CLOD online engine
ROF zoom
ROF skinning, without the overly complicated aproval system. It turns off a lot of people.
CLOD or DCS mission builder

Edited December 18, 2012 by Jaws2002

[AX2]

0) CLOD full planes !! (not sell watches or scarves)

1) ROF   Graphic options

2 ) RoF: Continued interaction of the developers with the community.

3 ) CloD object limit 

4 ) il2 1946 COOP

5 )RoF draw distance

6 )ROF   LOD system 

7) ROF clouds

8) RoF Flight model

9) ROF damage model (is more than enough)

 

[=CHN=Crash]

ROF: Pistol

CloD: Su-26's Weapons

[Foobar]

Proper human sizes, not those CloD-dwarfs. 109 looks like a almost empty bus...

Dwarfs have better anti-G ability. :D

COD: a bit of future proofing with DX10/11 support from the start, allowing for more than just graphical benefit.

IL2/COD: standalone expansion packs bringing new maps and planes each time.

COD: full SDK allowing offliners the simple pleasure of creating their own content or share with others.

IL2: co-ops

IL2: qmb

IL2/COD: fmb but with documentation

COD: special touches like hitler smileys in windows illustrating the well though out and immersive effects like window fogging.

COD/every other sim appart from ROF: full instrumentation and weaponry not reliant on paid upgrades.

COD: graphics

COD: cockpits

COD: terrain modelling

COD: CEM

COD: DM

COD: aircraft weathering on slider controls

COD: adjustable AI on slider controls

IL2 patch 4.11: AI

IL2 patch 4.11: real time pilot head/control surfaces movement

COD: object limit

dynamic weather...whoevers is/was going to be the best

ROF: regular community pamperings

[=BKHZ=Furbs]

Dont bite.

[4./JG53_Wotan]

The lighting in CloD was well done - there were issues with some of the shadows but overall the lighting was great.

 

LoD and general visibility were poor in CloD - inlcuding the horizon in RoF were much better IMHO.

My apologies I should have stipulated that to post in this thread you needed to have at least tried both games for more than 5mins...  <_<

Edited December 17, 2012 by JG52Krupi

[71st_AH_Hooves]

CLod's weapon ammo customization and convergence setup.

 

RoF Everything else.

[Hoots]

Hmm... That bongo chap doesn't miss an opportunity to stir does he.

[DD_bongodriver]

Would love a career mode like the one in ROF.

He sure doesn't.  I imagine he will be on his way out WAY before BoS gets here.

Well we already know that is not going to happen so let it go. This is one of those topics that take a thread down a path that will not be tolerated so stop going there.

 He just may be.. and he may have company.. lots of it.

 

Keep it straight gents. Try to keep these threads in the spirit they are intended. IN this one.. no talk of DX11.. it isn't going to happen.. no talk of merging anything.. it isn't going to happen.

[Jester]

ROF: The pilot wounded blood effect (always hated that all over pink screen IL2 and CloD had).

 

CloD: Cockpit damage (already mentioned I jnow but can't help to push a good thing).

 

ROF: Offline campaign system (suitably modifed to work with a WW2 environment).

 

CloD: CEM

[ACG_Dickie]

RoF prop animation

 

COD animation would be better since the pitch is animated,  or am I missing something that ROF has?

 

Aside that,  C# API for mission extension to game events and to add custom server side plug ins  (eg the Fighter Command RDF system on ACG Storm of War server)
