These Three Easy Features I Would Pay Money For!

[Bearfoot]

(1) Post-combat reports. Who shot whom. Which shots hit and where. Percentage of shots hit/missed. What survived and what did not. etc. I know there is an add-on that does this, but it would nice to have it integrated organically.

 

(2) One word: TACVIEW. Or rather, support for TACVIEW. Really folks, this takes combat flight sims to another level entirely. This would transform the learning/teaching curve.

 

(3) Pilot-controlled forward-firing guns on the JU-88

(3) Pilot-controlled forward-firing guns on the JU-88

It was already said that the type of Ju-88 in-game didn't have this. 

[FlyingH]

1 and 2 Yes by all means, 3 not historically accurate.

[dburne]

1 and 2 agreed as well.

[216th_Jordan]

1 and 2 absolutely!

[SKG51_robtek]

Wasn't this way that the forward firing MG81 in the windshield of the Ju88A4 could be arrested in a fixed position when not used by the observer and was then pilot controlled? I remember to have read something along this lines.

Wrong all Ju 88-A had this but it doesnt work like most people would expect it to work.

The pilot can only fire the forward faceing MG 81 or Mg 15 if it is locked into a fixed position. In this position there is no electrical fire controle like on other weapons in fighters.

Eigther the pilot pulled the trigger on the weapon himself or he ordered his Gunner to do it which was mostly done.

In the fixed position the MG 81 or Mg 15 was aligned whit the Revi sight of the pilot which made it posible to aim. If he was on targed he would order the gunner to shot thats it.

Number (4) should be multi-threaded support on the dserver...

Number (5) ability to lose landing gear(s)

Nooo, the original post has been done in the style of those annoying 'headline' click-crap. Bearfoot, nothing against the content of your post, just I really loathe the way those all capitalised 'forceful' statements are taking over the web.

I`d pay money for a proper dynamic campaign with a proper ranking structure.

[LLv34_Flanker]

S!

 

 I would pay for..

 

1. Dynamic campaign, like in Falcon 4.0.

 

2. Participate in funding DirectX 12 implementation as it is the biggest step with it's features.

[Danziger]

Lol I thought this was one of those spam bot threads until I saw so many replies.

[Bearfoot]

Ha, ha.

 

Ok, sorry about the click-bait title ... but it was honestly in parody of click-bait titles! I thought the tongue-in-cheekness would be clear.

 

But while the title was meant in humor, the content is serious enough: after-action reports and TACVIEW support would be great!

 

So would pilot-controlled forward-firing guns on the JU88, but I guess that's not a widespread opinion. 

[Feathered_IV]

Sorry Bearfoot.  Too late now.

[Lusekofte]

The A4 was not equipped with forward guns, but there where subversions of it and dedicated fighter versions / ground attack versions. I think we will see some eventually . For the other stuff, if you want it why not, for me do not care at all

Not sure about Tac View is but I've always been all for #1...not sure how you would use the forward firing Mg already provided for the crew.

[pilotpierre]

You bastard feathered, you promised me you would keep that private, last time I pose for one of your photographic sessions.

 That pic is priceless, almost spitted my coffee on the screen   But leave the snide remarks about "lufties" or certain squads out. Will just make the thread go downhill and fast.

There must be  a lot of old and young divorced men flying this flight sim

I bet now that they have plenty of time on their hands to

do what they want.
