FEATURES FOR NEXT AIR BATTLES
I would like to propose the addition of night battles to Air Realistic Battles, and I believe this feature could substantially enhance the gameplay experience. Given its potential benefits, I suggest considering its inclusion in the next major update.
1. Increased Immersion and Realism: Night battles would introduce a new level of realism and immersion. Historically, pilots often had to engage in combat under the cover of darkness, and replicating this in-game would provide a more authentic experience. By simulating the complexities of night operations, players would gain a deeper appreciation of the challenges faced by real pilots.
2. Enhanced Skill Development: Engaging in combat at night would require players to refine their skills and adapt their strategies. This added layer of difficulty would challenge even the most experienced players, fostering growth and ensuring that gameplay remains dynamic and engaging. The necessity to rely on instruments and limited visibility would make each encounter unique and strategically demanding.
3. Diverse Gameplay Experience: Incorporating night battles would significantly diversify the types of engagements players experience. Currently, the game may risk becoming repetitive over time. By introducing new scenarios, such as night-time operations, players would enjoy varied and exciting challenges, which could help maintain long-term interest and engagement within the community.
4. Optimal Use of In-Game Equipment: Many aircraft in the game are equipped with night-vision technology and other specialized equipment for night-time operations. Implementing night battles would allow players to utilize these features fully, adding depth to the simulation and making the gameplay more comprehensive and enjoyable. Additionally, the existing features such as cockpit lights and runway lights would be more than just aesthetic elements; they would become essential tools for navigation and combat during night operations.
5. Enhanced Realism with Landing Gear Lights: To further improve the realism of night battles, adding landing gear lights would be a valuable feature. These lights could assist in night-time landings and takeoffs, adding another layer of immersion and functionality to the game.
6. Player Choice for Night Battles: To accommodate different preferences, it would be beneficial to include an option for players to participate in or opt out of night battles. This would ensure that players who prefer traditional day-time engagements are not excluded, while those seeking the challenge and excitement of night operations can fully enjoy the feature.
I have previously suggested several improvements, some of which have not yet been adopted. I firmly believe that night battles, along with the enhanced features like landing gear lights and player choice, represent a particularly valuable and exciting addition that could greatly enrich the Air Realistic Battles experience. Given its potential impact, I suggest that this feature be considered for inclusion in the next major update.
Thank you for taking the time to review this proposal. I am confident that this addition would be a substantial step forward for the game and look forward to your feedback.
-F-86k cockpit problem
I recently tried playing with the F-86K in simulator mode with the HUD off, but encountered an issue where the radar scope inside the cockpit does not work. This significantly impacts the realism and immersion of the experience.
This is the third time I’m requesting a fix for this issue, and I have yet to receive a response from the admins. I kindly request that you address this problem and include a fix for the radar scope in the next major update. The current state of the radar scope feels very unrealistic and is quite disappointing.
Here is some footage of the radar scope issue for your reference:
Thank you for your attention to this big suggestion.
Best regards,
Paganmine
