I’ve learnt machine gun nests flee upon being strafed in IL-2.
I wish we had the same mechanic - you can initiate a strafing run on a howitzer and fill the rear of the gun with 20mm SAP and HEI rounds and the gunners just stay there turning a darker and darker red unless the round directly hits them. Prolly a skill issue in part on my end as I only ever do strafing runs when tickets are tight, but still.
Quick question: is it normal that the CCRP HUD mode display, which was added a few months ago to the F-4 and F-111, has been removed?
I just did a simulation with these aircrafts, and they no longer have this display.
Contemplating a suggestion for Ultra High Quality cockpits like we have for air and ground units. I have issues with the MFD, HUD and HMD never being overly sharp when zoomed out and making it hard to read, even though it should be clearly legible. I’ve tried every setting, but nothing and I think its the just the cockpits have a limited resolution.
So what is everyones thoughts or opinions on this?
Supersampling helps. I have 1080p monitor and when i put it on 1.5 (after enabling ssaa in options i change it to backgroundscale:r=1.5 in config) scale it has nice visibility 1.33 also works ok. But huge downside is tracers are barely visible and planes are harder to spot.
I usually run stealth belts anyway, but plane spotting doesnt sound ideal.
But I’ll give that a try, thanks.
STT IFF is still not a thing right?
Dont think so annoyingly. Might have to make a proper suggesiton for it if there isnt one already
I think a bug report about it got accepted during the dev server days. Gonna find it later when I go back to my pc
Might be a bug reportable issue.
Its tricky. STT IFF is something they dont model so could fall under suggestion. But if an aircraft has STT IFF, then is it a bug reportable issue.
I genuinely have no idea. but either way. Yes, it is really really needed and its stupid we dont have it
i’ll do my usual CM poking about it. See if I can get some traction for it :P
Why (EU/CIS server).
Even more why.
Did I come home to play ASB in opposite-land? The jet sinai match is 2 hours old so not exactly applicable.
Would you like to have normal rewarding, like is in other gamemods, in AirSim?
The room for exploitation in ASB was/is to great I think for a conventional economy system that we have in ARB. But it doesnt mean the current system couldnt be improved.
The central focal point of the current economy imo, is that you are rewarded for survival rather min-maxed actions and I personally quite like this idae for sim. But the issue comes from an over emphasis on this and how easy it is to “over cap” and have actions become wasted or do extremely well but die too soon and it go unrewarded
To that end, the changes I would propose is this:
It can be inprove, those things you say sounds smart to me, but it would make it more complicated than it is now, the best and easyest way would be rewarding at the time of the action as in realistic air battles or any other mod in the game.
It would make the game more playable.
That joining cost should be deleted, in every mod you pay just the repair cost, not joining. It can be good.
And the real answer is, if I make and topic(because thay dont let me do the suggestion) would people write “yes” for the change in the rewarding?
The reason that kind of economy was removed (from my understanding) was matches where you had an entire team sat on the Airfield and then someone on the other team would come and strafe them, killing them all. It was apparently rather insane.
It also would exasperate the score farming. Where people attack an AF and then J-out. allowing people to gain SL/RP directly from that as well. Would turn that into a prime farming strategy and it would be exploited year round. Which would then likely result in massive nerfs to the economy which would punish everyone.
I suppose it’s like any system people will find a way to exploit for their benefit.
I wish they would add roles.
IE you join the match to be a fighter so you get rewarded extra for deterring enemy planes from a certain sector and eliminating enemy planes.
Or as a bomber you get a reward for most tons of bombs dropped before death so that way people will stop jing out after a base bomb
Yeah, that could work, but then you get the grey areas of things that can and did do both.
Like if I bomb something in the Typhoon, should I get rewarded less simply because “its a fighter”?
Let alone things like the FRS1 being classed as a strike aircraft
I mean like you pick the role when you enter.
As in I could pic to be a bomber in the Shar.
In reality I would like actually simulated operations where 2 teams have objectives they try and compete over.
Id still prefer to be able to do both middle of match without any kind of detrement
