Your IL-2 dream

[InProgress]

Weird title but did not have any better idea

 

What would you like to see (but you know it will never happen) in il2?

 

I would like to have clickable cockpit and when ejected from plane being able to walk and shoot, trying to survive and get back to base

[Voidhunger]

Me 163B

[[CPT]Pike*HarryM]

A Falcon 4 campaign system and the ability to fly it online as co-op or some sort of open server (login and grab a mission that the AI needs flown at that moment). 

[Asgar]

Heinkel 177 A-5

[SYN_Lt_Dan]

Taking out a supply convoy in a Hawker Sea fury on route back to the carrier 

[Neil]

a ZIS truck to make transport missions! 

[L3Pl4K]

DO 217 K2

[Extreme_One]

Taking the existing maps, planes and systems from IL2: 1946 and upgrading to a modern engine with enhanced lighting, particles etc.

[InProgress]

a ZIS truck to make transport missions! 

I like that idea

[Finkeren]

Things that will never happen:

 

1. A player base 10,000 strong on a daily basis.

 

2. AI with an actual sense of self preservation and tactical coordination leading to realistic kill/loss ratios.

 

3. Missions ending with a kind of "after action report" minigame, which has influence on whether or not you are awarded kills.

 

4. A decal system for aircraft skins like the old IL-2 allowing for individual aircraft numbers (or letters), squadron insigna and historical markings.

 

5. A game covering all the major theatres, all the major battles, all the major aircraft and ground unit types from 1939 through '45.

 

Things that might happen at some point.

 

1. Missions with 30, 50 or maybe 100 AI running smoothly.

 

2. Full manual start-up procedure.

 

3. Much more detailed radio comms with new and better voice acting.

 

4. Effective, easy-to-use coop option for all SP modes.

 

5. A dynamic online war.

Finkeren, the last one exists in the form of TAW (24/7) and InWar (weekends only)

 

I'm out of ideas to be honest, the developers put forth most of what I wanted with the last few announcements.

 

Perhaps more interactive voice acting logic would benefit this game the most. Chaotic chatter during engagements, desperate calls from wingmen being engaged, more vivid victory celebrations ('burn, you bastard!' in lieu of 'target destroyed' for example). One thing I liked from 'ye auld Il-2' was the flight leader's message to 'return to base immediately' whenever someone was badly damaged.

 

Having Soviet bombers randomly fire flares in the direction of enemy fighters to point their location to the escort and other gunners would be nice too.

 

With their new historical medals, I hope they keep it realistic and plausible. With the old Il-2 I hated getting two or three 'Hero of the Soviet Union' stars in nearly every single campaign. Those top honours should be kept top honours. Newsreel footage to detail periods of the campaigns would add a lot to immersion as well.

1000 would be fine

[Finkeren]

1000 would be fine

But 1000 is doable

[Potenz]

I would love to have the whole europe map in one map so heavy bombers will have good use

What would you like to see (but you know it will never happen) in il2?

 

That I get back home to the airfield with my aircraft in one piece on WoL Server.

Yea lol, today my ju87 was attacked by something, not sure what, I was almost at the airfield, 1 square left, also beg for help but nobody came wish people were escorting and not just dogfighting.

[SAG]

Full combine arms Il2 

 

starting as a farmer somwhere an decidinf to enlist in the navy, army or airforce and then it goess... :D

[DD_Arthur]

A baby's arm holding an apple.

[kissklas]

VR with tech using gyro, haptic feedback and/or electric signals to let you interact with the cockpit and stop your hand when you use the stick or reach a button/panel. The tech is already being researched and developed for entertainment and medical purposes so maybe...

...some day...

But what SAG said is also a dream. Full war simulator, with all players simultaneously carrying out operations, but with a BoX amount of technical fidelity and detail in every field!

[Lusekofte]

I would really really really have a night fighter feature with onboard working radar and support from stationary radar. I want the Beufighter, Mosquito , the 110 , ME 410 , DO 215 and UHU to fly and the preys should be Lancaster , Halifax, Wellington , DO 217 , Grief ,

[SYN_Skydance]

To feed some of the new tech back into RoF or have flyable ww1 planes in map of France.

 

Hey, they could even call it "IL2 Rise of Flight 2"

[JG13_opcode]

 

 

What would you like to see (but you know it will never happen) in il2?

 

Mediterranean and/or Western Front 1943-5. 

[Legioneod]

B-24D or B24-J Liberator. Also a B-17 would be nice.

[JG5_Schuck]

A server side option to turn off ALL techno chat/help, (for those people who want to learn how to fly the plane first, using the instruments, then combat second!)

 

and also an option to lock the view zoom, so people don't have the situational awareness and viewing angles of a Woodcock with binoculars!! 

 

Oh....... and a 262

[Feathered_IV]

Truly top-notch voice acting and speech for the AI, along with ambient radio chatter specific to each nation.

[BlitzPig_EL]

A proper plane set and map/maps to do the AVG in China.

 

Never happen because the Red Chinese will never tolerate a game that has Nationalist Chinese markings on the aircraft, and no publisher will stand up to them.

I guess that can be done... It was done with IL-2 1946, at least as a WIP

 

[Danziger]

Well they already did a MiG-3 so everything else is icing on the pie

[Gambit21]

My IL2 dream is the Zeke - I just wish it would happen someday.

Oh wait...it is  

Seriously though.

Guadalcanal/Solomons and float planes.

 

Flying maritime patrol over the Solomons is my dream.

If in an Emily - well so much the better.

[NO_SQDeriku777]

AI formations in multi-player that can spawn in at altitude with bomber target/patrol patrol waypoints with planes that can be activated and taken over after a set timer interval if a sufficient number of players choose the air spawn to simulate long range missions.

Just this, please. Thanks in advance.

Hey, wait! I got that reference!! LOL

 

What do you want from life?

Well, you can't have that!

But, if you are and American citizen, you are entitled to...

A heated kidney shaped pool, a microwave oven(don't watch the food cook), a Dyna Gym(I'll personally demonstrate it in the privacy of your own home), a king sized molly brown waterbed with polybendum, a fool proof plan and an air tight alibi, real simulated Indian jewelry, a Gucci shoe tree, a years supply of antibiotics, a personally autographed picture of Randy Mantooth and Bob Dylan's new unlisted phone number, a beautifully restored Third Reich swizzle stick, Rosemary's baby!, a dream date in knee pads with Paul Williams , a new Matador, a  new mastodon, a Maverick, a Mustang, a Montego, a Mercury Mont Claire, a Mark 4, a Meteor, a Mercedes, an MG, a Malibu, or a Mark Moriarty, a Maserati, a Mac truck, a Mazda, a new Monza, a Moped, a Winnebago, hell a herd of Winnebago's (we're giving them away!)  or how about a McCullough chain saw, a Las Vegas wedding, a Mexican divorce, a solid gold kama sutra coffee pot, OR......(the above mentioned) "babies arm holding an apple."

 

A Classic! Thanks for making my day. Must now go and dig out my old LP's   Dose anybody even know who Randy Mantooth is anymore?!!    

[=WH=PangolinWranglin]

What I want is to be able to fly competently. 

 

 

 

Just kidding! I'd love to see more experimental and prototype planes like the Heinkel Lerche B2 of IL2 1946

[wtornado]

I am still praying for a FMB ''Lite'' version with just one click object placing for example putting

down a flak gun and not having to hold it by the hand and tell it everything it has to do.

 

Just place it ...shoot at the damn blue or red aircraft with a simple altitude firing  specs from 1000m to 6000m.

 

Put down a plane on the map tell it to fly at 3000m from point A to point B and attack the enemy planes

with just one click.Take off-fly-land instructions with one click settings to put the aircraft in the mission

and one click waypoints and landings.Attack air/ground targets nothing fancy just one click instructions.

 

It is nice to dream.

You would have a rush of s/p missions just implementing a lighter FMB people would produce more missions

than just the handful that are doing it now.

[Finkeren]

And this.

Yep! That too.

[novicebutdeadly]

I think 3 categories are needed, that is what we would like to see in SP, MP, the game in general.

 

 

I admit to not playing too much SP but apart from what has been previously said in previous threads, perhaps more connection to your squadron. In that atm your fellow squad members have no name, and no follow up on their death. Which means that you generally don't care about them when they die because they are nameless and faceless.

 

Understandably giving them names and faces would make it less historical but it would make it more immersive. Imagine snippets of a funeral (crying widow etc) of one of your squad members, who's name, face, and even voice you remember.

 

In MP: Having consequences for dying, bailing out, forced landings, returning to base with a damaged aircraft. To me this would hopefully make people play a bit more realistically.

 

The way to do this which could also tie into SP, is for death etc there should be funeral snippets (crying widow etc) which would replace a time delay before you can hit refly.

But also you get a sub-par performance aircraft until you earn a proper performing aircraft, from memory in real life the experienced pilots got the "new rides" because they knew how to look after them. 

 

 

And in general as has been pointed out a larger player base esp for MP.

[TWC_Ace]

I would like to see this small hardcore sim community not divided as it is. I would like to see devs full of money and staff so they can bring whataver they/we want. I would like to see popular COOP mode, SEOW full of players.

 

thats about it
