Gaijin. To the development team for Air Simulator battles, I hope you guys see this. I was going to make a video on this and link it to this thread, but at this point. Why bother wasting my time with “update sim” content when it’s been neglected. The least you can do is update a few things for sim players at the respected BR rotations that we have been discussing on the simulator mode section of the forums for awhile now.
When are you going to re-work sim EC? You haven’t re-worked objectives, AI, added new EC maps, or even touched simulator battles in over a year. I’ve compiled a short list of things that would be a nice change or addition to sim EC. Bigger maps are NOT one of them because having bigger maps are not the problem. The problem is the eb and flow of sim EC because of the lack of updated AI, objectives, and airfield defense. If bigger maps were the problem, players would only fly the bigger 128km maps on EC. Yet, they (not all) still fly Tunisia and other smaller and flat maps on EC, then take it to other sim threads, etc. And complain (not all) about small maps and multi-pathing when they (not all) still choose these smaller, flatter maps.
So here we go.
-
Add Pyrenees, Kamchatka, and Mysterious Valley maps to sim making an EC version. More sim maps to fly and more variety of them along with more that have terrain. This one is simple enough.

Re-work the AI and objectives. The bombers objective, attacker objective, surveillance aircraft objective, the two airfield defense aircraft, etc.They are still 50’s - 60’s aircraft at 10.0 BR rotations and above. Replace them with updated AI aircraft. Something to look and shoot at besides MiG 15’s, MiG 17’s, Saber’s, F-104’s, Su-7’s above 10.0, etc. Sabre’s shouldnt be flying at Mach 1.4 either. Come on. So, depending on the EC map and what countries oppose each other, Replace bombers with F-111s for blue side and Su-24’s for red side, attacker’s with A-10’s on blue side and Su-25’s on red, surveillance aircraft with F4 Phantom on blue side and MiG 27 on red side, etc. Or something that’s in that BR rotation that can replace. And have surveillance aircraft be at an actual surveillance altitude of at least 30,000 ft (9,000 meters) or above. Objectives flying higher would help the eb and flow of higher BR because in order to complete objectives, players would need to climb some.

There’s bases to bomb on EC maps. Add areas similar to the bases where there are anti-aircraft sites. Where players have to take out the sites for RP/SL. Also, if players fly too close, they will shoot. Usually, there are 5 or so bombing targets that spawn on the start of the EC game, and they spawn regularly after being destroyed. Do the same thing for these anti-aircraft sites. 5 or so spawn on the start of the EC game and spawn regularly after being destroyed. Roland’s, 2S6, ADATS, etc. And at higher BR above 12.3, where Fox 3’s are present, these sites can have Pantsir-S1 and the new tracked Rapier. Also, let the ground line be pushed back and forth again like it was years ago. And if the battlefield was destroyed it would be pushed back depending on what side took out who.

Better airfield defense above 12.3 where Fox 3’s are present. Roland’s don’t cut it anymore above 12.3. Add Pantsir-S1 for red side airfield defense and tracked Rapier for blue side airfield defense. Also, simple enough.
Thank you for reading. o7!
