Sandinourcoffee6 Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Is there any chance in future of being able to man the flak guns or anti aircraft guns rather like the idea of trying to shoot down planes from the luxury of the ground
Finkeren Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 It gets talked about a lot, but no word yet from the devs. I don't think they are particularly interested in making it. It really doesn't make a lot of sense to me either. From my point of view it would make for incredibly boring gameplay with 95% of the time being spent doing nothing but scan the sky for potential targets and the actual shooting action would most often be over in seconds. 1
1PL-Husar-1Esk Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Sounds like a normal Friday night then... Hehe
MiK684 Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Well it depends i guess, if your Airfield is under attack and the server has limited aircraft, its a viable idea to man the flak guns instead of trying your luck to take off. besides the possibility to select another airfield.
Inkophile Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 We got to think about that for "manning the guns" to be on the same level that we expect of the rest of game it'd take quite some investment in developer time for what would be a very peripheral feature. Although it would be cool it sincerely doesn't make any sense to make it from a developer/business point of view.
Sandinourcoffee6 Posted October 9, 2017 Author Posted October 9, 2017 Yes I suppose it would be boring,as the limit of planes is small,dozens of planes attacking at the same time would freeze most peoples rigs,but it would be cool just for show,six planes attack end of mission
56RAF_Roblex Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 It was quite popular in CLoD. If your airfield is being attacked you can either try to take off, which is suicidal, or try to get there in time from another airfield. Manning the guns gives you a chance to fight back and it is a great feeling when you actually bring one down :-)
216th_Lucas_From_Hell Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Ground-to-air gunnery is extremely hard thought. Without knowing what you're doing and how to properly operate the sights, it's bordering the impossible to hit an aircraft with a horizontal separation of 0.5 to 2km and another 0.5-2km vertically.
Gambit21 Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 I made a Pearl Harbor mission in the old sim where you sit in the top turret of a (B-25 I think it was) with unlimited ammo and shoot at the attacking Japanese planes. I goofed around with that mission so many times - I don't think I ever got a kill either.
