Long and extremely ambitious list of features that’d make the game literally perfect, IMO

1,003 Stonewarrior272  4.8 years ago

So I’ve been thinking recently about ways to make this game into literally the best game ever (which it probably is already) and I came up with this incredibly ambitious list that is probably waaayyy too much to add to the game without it being stupidly complex and probably taking way to much time, but this is just a suggestion, any of these would be a great thing to add. I realise that most of these will never happen or aren’t possible but this is just my thoughts.

Radar system so that targets can be detected from larger distances, ie snow stone to Yeager, or Wright to Yeager.
Customisable cannons ranging in size from 20mm, to 1000mm maybe, with explosion effects.
Armour calculation/bullet penetration for the cannons so tanks could be easily made.
More ground targets.
Ability to set cockpits as ground vehicles.
Longer range targeting.
In game browser thing for mods so that iOS can use them too.
Tutorials on the fuselage blocks and other pieces.
Tutorials on helicopters.
Sonewhat destructible buildings as bombing targets.
Maybe two maps, one where it’s one massive island and the other one be the stock one so that iOS can have more opportunities to make ground vehicles.
Larger ground target clusters/missions where an area has to be bombed (also in iOS).
Ww2, Cold War, Vietnam war, etc missions (on iOS also).
AI that dodge missiles rather than constantly try to attack (ie. break off engagements until lock is gone, etc) and proper dogfight tactics. (This could be a replacement for multiplayer on mobile)
New weapons such as stupidly long range missiles (100+ mile range), customisable cannons/minigun cannons, etc.
Maybe add Maywar Island as a desperate map for mobile? With new ground target missions such as ‘destroy these oil reserves’ or providing Close Air Support even.

Again, this is an incredibly ambitious list, but if only a few of these main ones (custom cannons; radar; armour; AI; more missions (and for iOS); Maywar or similar map for mobile or new ground targets; Cold War and other era missions; multiplayer?) were added I feel as though it would improve the game from what is already my favourite game, to absolutely untouchable as my total favourite.

Thanks for reading. Tell me what you think about these suggestions, are they way to much to ask for or are some of them achievable, or whatever really, just your opinions.

PS: I realise this list is stupid, I don’t mean I want all of it added, just maybe if there were going to be new features over the next year(s?) it would be really cool if it were some of these were trickled in with the next major updates (1.9,2.0,etc).

Edit: in response to people’s comments so far I’d like to point out that in all honesty the main ones I think would be good are the missions (of different eras), Maywar as a seperate map on mobile like the mod maps screen on pc, radar, and ground targets, which also seem like they might be the most achievable ones to do, the rest could probably be done with mods (ie armour, tutorials, and cannons).

Edit 2: maybe instead of just an in game mod browser there could be a map one as well with maps under a certain size/complexity certified for mobile and all of them for PC. Again probably achieveable by mods, but I’m on iOS so...

    This would make the game stupidly hard to run on mobile devices lol

    @Stormfur Yeah that's exactly what I hope for. in some circumstances you can even manage to land your otherwise doomed plane and repair it as new.

    @vcharng repair stations would be extremely nice for bombing runs. a few engines, a wing tip and some other things get blown off and you could just limp over to it and get repaired/rearmed

    We actually have some destructable buildings, not many though.
    The Ice Base, the windmills on Maywar and the 2 bridges in Krakaloa.
    But I do agree we can have more.

    Also can we have repair function? Land, park in a certain area and wait, and you'll have your damaged blocks repaired/reconstructed. Since ordnance count as blocks as well they can also be re-armed. I know you can use "restart here", but that would reset the whole map.

    Right now if you want to destroy a whole fleet, you need to build a plane big enough to carry lots of bombs to sink them in one go, which is not realistic. I hope we can have a realistic RTB, repair/re-arm and re-engage mechanism.

    Also please make altitude fuse possible, so that we can have accurate air-burst nukes and bombs that explode when hitting water.

    What about actual clouds instead of an image, so that it’s possible to go above and through them, or sandstorms. I can imagine the frame rate decrease already

    I agree, but more complex fuselages would create trouble with collisions and connections. I recommend an “advanced fuselage” with these drawbacks @randomusername

    I like the idea of I game mod searching like it goes to the website and it pulls all of the mods and the game changes the code itself

    the current ai dogfighting isn't that bad if you use planes that have a shred of realism. for example planes with better energy retention will actually try to go high and bnz you instead of just turnfighting

    All I'd like is better AI

    What about some rain in simpleplanes, I think that will genuinely be a frame rate issue, or even some real snow!? Ok so it's simpleplanes, not Xplane11 but surely some FX, like say Ur in cockpit camera, and little splatters on the screen from the rain hitting the windscreen of the cockpit, and in orbit mode you don't have to even see the rain because you can see it in cockpit mode Thus saving framerate....

    Right?

    I 100% agree with you on the maps bit, because mobile sp really needs a proper road for land vehicles because the runway's are just not long enough to do proper testing. And also because the PC community are useless and don't want to make mod maps with roads on for the mobile players.

    What about a cut down version of Maywar without windmills, would that ever be a possiblity do you reckon?
    Or Maywar as a separate map maybe

    Honestly an in game browser for mods on iOS sounds somewhat possible. Also ocean textures could be improved quite a bit also.
