Night Fighting / Airborne Radar


Recommended Posts

Posted

      After watching some il2 1946 night fighter missions, I have an itching for some night intercepts. Do you think it would ever be in the cards of the devs to make some premium aircraft night fighters? Such as a bf110 with a radar station in rear seat. Also with the upcoming mosquito in Battle of Normandy, it would be interesting to have a night fighter variant. I know it would take time and money, and it wouldn't be well implemented into Multi-Player, however maybe some third party could do the work. I know nothing about coding or graphic design, but the aircraft will already be built, so maybe it would be financially possible to outsource a radar design. I know many people who would definitely buy a premium night fighter, much more over some AA trucks. Just throwing the idea out there. This game is so amazing I really couldn't ask for more, just thought it would be a very cool idea.

I was thinking about this recently.  I wondered if the upcoming Air Marshall feature would allow for some kind of improvised night fighter vectoring?

I had not thought of that, that would be very cool. It also seems very doable.

It is not a simple thing to code for. You can make a simple version of a radar that will work too well. The real challenge is to model in all the imperfections that the early radars had to contend with.That being said, something like Northrop P-61 Black Widow that did operate in Europe if i remember correctly would be cool addition to collector plane set.
