Short review:
1.7 has changed the combat in SimplePlanes forever, and it will go down as one of the best updates ever.
Long review:
The rockets, Cleavers and torpedos are awesome. I love how you can change the fins on the unguided rockets, and the Cleavers aren't too overpowered. Torpedos take skill, but even then they are really best for historical replicas.
Part damage is amazingly fun. I actually want to get shot up just to see the fire and smoke. The new missile lock rules give smaller aircraft an advantage, something they didn't have before. Countermeasures are life-savers, they work like a charm.
The new mobile water is gorgeous. Some might say that it's strange looking, but those who say that are spoiled PC users that have those incredible computer graphics. Mobile users have deserved this for a long time.
So all-in-all, 1.7 is great. I was seriously underwhelmed by 1.6, but 1.7 made up for that. Now wants in store for 1.8?
Here are my predictions:
- New missions.
- A new island? It's been awhile.
- New engine? It's been a really long while.
- More designer tools.
- A new setting for the sandbox mode letting you spawn ships anywhere you want.
Me too! It's so fun to see parts explode and fly off! @belugasub
I also love getting shot down now :)
@Awsomur lol
Maybe. @ForeverPie
How about an occasional troll in 1.8 where instead of an island you see a giant 404: Not Found
That's a good idea too. @4404
I agree with more car motors and wheels. Islands are always awesome. Maybe more car races? @DemonSniper8
Oh yeah that too. @DemonSniper8
@Awsomur Better colors hopefully lol
More customization tools perhaps? @DemonSniper8
Oh look, Blue0Bull is trying to aggravate me. Ignore that please, I don't want to explain that argument.
@Awsomur I don't think that the spawning ships will happen, but some new missions would be nice, as well as more designer tools. I'm not exactly sure what they could add in the way of tools though.
Good ideas! @DemonSniper8
For 1.8, I'm hoping they will put in more car-based things, like a transmission and an engine with a redline, and some other things. I think a new island would be awesome, especially if it was small enough to be included on mobile.
I agree. @Ferlambo
I think it would be great if we could manually select damage. I would like to see how well my airplane deals with them. Also, I tried so hard to get damage by getting shot, I just end up getting exploded directly, no damages :(
