E4GLEyE Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 Just wondering, will we have some AA vehicles? Trucks with flak on their back or similar? if I remember it correctly, I have read something about these, but cant find any detail on them on the store page, in the list of vehicles. Would really be happy if we get to drive/man any of these, specially in multiplayer, going with tanks covering them from pesky Attack planes.
Jade_Monkey Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 According to the game update announcement, they will be collectors vehicles (separate purchase). 1
dkoor Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 Not exactly my cup of tea, but in all honesty I just may find them to be more interesting than tanks . However I'm not really expecting a miracles, it will most likely be very hard to hit anything even if you are experienced.
OrLoK Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 Im hugely excited for them, give poor flyers like me a chance to have fun in MP
ShamrockOneFive Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 They said there would be some sort of surprise when they did get to the flak trucks so we'll see what that is. 1
Thad Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 What ever is presented... don't give the developers any flak over it. ? 6

[APAF]VR_Spartan85 Posted July 21, 2018 Posted July 21, 2018 I’m just hoping we’ll have enough players on servers for air to ground combat... Players as dedicated ground units would be awesome and would give the fly boys bigger reason to protect them. and would give the AA some usefulness!
Rjel Posted July 22, 2018 Posted July 22, 2018 Growing up as a game bird hunter, the idea of manning a flak gun appeals to me. I think it would be a boon for online gamers who complain about vulching of airfields. I would love to try that out.
E4GLEyE Posted July 22, 2018 Author Posted July 22, 2018 It personally really grown to me since War Thunder introduced me to them (AA vehicles that is)... in IL2 I managed to hit planes with tanks online (took down Stuka's and Bf110s with the T34 we have now :D) but I would be fully blown away If I could man one of the AA trucks. Driving in a convoy, helping the allies, like the demo mission for the Tiger showcases them helping you and your troops while advancing to the railroad station against IL2s.

Their alpha announcement said they will release them as a separate product. Im not sure if that means a whole new DLC or just addon planes/cars. I also hope that they come out with a ww1 flak and MG car as well. the FC game would HUGELY benefit from something like that as vulching and low level raid bombing were even more common in RoF than in BoS.

Nil Posted July 25, 2018 Posted July 25, 2018 I am very interested on this. I love anti AA gun mounted on vehicles! 1
=gRiJ=Roman- Posted July 25, 2018 Posted July 25, 2018 Regular tanks should have their AA machine gun for the tank commander. This is a way to link the air and the ground combat.

SCG_Space_Ghost Posted July 25, 2018 Posted July 25, 2018 I don't mean to be completely OT or contrarian but because I keep seeing people build hype over this - it has never been officially announced or stated that TC will support combined operations between flying players and ground players - at least in regards to combined ops on the ground optimized, improved TC map.
Yogiflight Posted July 25, 2018 Posted July 25, 2018 IIRC Jason stated, the airfields on the TC map are there for some reason.

But 'IIRC' it was in one of the Discussion threads to a DD or Update announcement because of someone's question, if we can fly on this map, too. But I might be wrong.

I asked for clarification - you couldn't provide it. No need for the 'tude.

BTW, anyone, who is waiting for the AAA vehicles, might need some patience, because how I understand Jason's latest announcement, it will be developed after TC and be added as 'Collectors Vehicles'. 1
=AGW=Master Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 (edited) Tude = Attitude and this is from the store page where they describe what you are buying. " 10,000 sq. km. map which is ideal for joint multiplayer combat of tanks and aviation units. " So yes, you will be able to fly on the map. 10 hours ago, Yogiflight said: BTW, anyone, who is waiting for the AAA vehicles, might need some patience, because how I understand Jason's latest announcement, it will be developed after TC and be added as 'Collectors Vehicles'. Here is the exact quote from the Dev Diary. It doesnt say it will be after. It says "later" I also hope they add some wwi AAA in there for the FC servers. Quote http://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/12826-game-updates/?tab=comments#comment-641478 Due to development and gameplay considerations we have decided to create a separate AAA vehicles add-on featuring the GAZ-MM + 72K and Sd. Kfz. 10 + Flak38. We will prepare them as a separate product to be released later and work to make them a more interesting addition to IL-2 Sturmovik Great Battles then initially planned.
