It would be nice if we had multi-crew aircraft with multi-player spots. If you have played Battlefield 2 or 3 you know what I mean. Two friends or more can spawn in the same aircraft like a bomber and be the gunners, bombadier or pilot or co-pilot. Or spwn in a Stuka and they can both be a real team. Enable a team speak channel that is soley for crew member to crew member.

In ROF you can do it already, but only the pilot can do the bombing, like in Il-2.

 

However it would be nice if the bomber position could be manned by someone else, like in CloD.

This would be a very nice feature to have. However, I think it would be nice if there was a good stock VOIP system already built into BoS so one wouldn't necessarily have to instruct a casual player to download and install TS, and then connect to your specific TS server, etc. Or at least the function for a crew of a multi-crew aircraft to be able to talk to one another with ease.

As someone who likes to fly with friends online, this would be great. If my brother is already playing online, I join up late and just hop in as his gunner. That would be cool. Yeah built in VOIP would be nice, with 3 channels. An intercom to talk to everyone in your bomber, a squad radio to talk to your squadmates, and then a radio for everyone on your side.

You can do that in ROF. You can also lock the gunner positions if you don't wanna someone jump in, and when the person you're waiting shows up you just unlock it and voilà :)

Oh yeah what I meant was you join up in the lobby as a party and then the party leader chooses the bomber or other multi crew plane like a Bf-110 or an Ar-2 then you spawn in to your chosen positions. I think will greatly help with immersion!

Devs,

 

Please consider allowing the pilot to "allow" another multiplayer member to connect and run the bombardier station/bombing sight.  I have flown ROF since the beginning and know that sometimes a pilot may not want to allow another multiplayer member to run the bombardier station.....

 

In the end I think it should be the multiplayer pilot's decision...if he/she wants to allow someone else to run control the bombardier station....the pilot should be able to delegate that...if not..the pilot should be able to exclude that station from a multiplayer "join" to that station.

 

This will greatly enhance the multi--player crew coop in both ROF (ICE) and Il-2 Sturmovik (BOS)......multi-crew aircraft in IL-2 ### is what a friend and I have been waiting for ....

 

Keep up the great work team ! and Good Luck in your work.

Key word is "Buddy" meaning they would have to be your friend in game and/or a squadmate. This way you wont get some random dude in your plane being a troll and not helping you.

Concur completely Spektre...as in Rise of Flight ICE right now...you can kick someone from a position in your aircraft and exclude someone from joining your crew.

 

Let's hope the "allow" function can be added in to IL-2 BOS for the bombardier too since they've already announced intent to allow multiplayer members to man the gun stations in IL-2 BOS.

Given the release of BOS...I'd like to re-bump this.

 

Devs... any chance this is going to be put into the patch path for BOS ?

 

It is my belief it would add a capability that does not exist in other flight sims.... and a feather in your caps.....

 

Since Gunner's are done.... it must be possible for the bombadier position... and add a level of realism (for those who opt for it) of how the air crews actually worked together.....

 

Thoughts ?

We can be gunners already. I sure wish they would add a Bombardier position sometime next year.
