Now that, is cool.

Re: PR 0.6 Updated Aircraft video preview

is the a10 faster as well? its gonna be impossible to take it out in al basrah.

Re: PR 0.6 Updated Aircraft video preview

PR Devs say that its actually better for those on the ground. Makes sense if the A-10 wont be able to bomb/gun down targets constantly with dead on accuracy by going at helicopter speeds.

Re: PR 0.6 Updated Aircraft video preview

That's tooooo fast, you won't have time to gun down a tank or something.

By the time you see the green box you don't have time to blow it.

And me being a plane whore won't be easy because I fly low.

to missile we are looking at introducing a "detonate radius" as in r/l, AA missiles hardly ever strike dead on the target which they have to do in vBF2 to exsplode. Instead they get as close to the target as they can and when they are in a certian radius of it they exsplode, and the blast should destory or serouicly damage the air craft

@Bradley, we are looking into lots of new ways to help ground targets "spot" targets on the ground for bomber pilots. We are looking into lots of diffrent methods but lots of them are very hard to do with the BF2 engine.
We already have removed the "green box" from all enemy targets already, thou I think they are just over every target at the mo, manned or not. But I would think the plan is to remove them all together as in r/l, you dont have a green box or w/e over every enemy target. There is some system that can detect the shape of a tank etc but this I think is still in testing and dosent work too well at the mo cos if the tank added a bit of metal to change its shape very slightly it wouldnt pick it up etc. But dont quote me on this i dont fully know just something ive heard :p
So our aim is to make pilots rely much more on the guys on the ground to bomb, and the guys on the ground really benifiting from the pilots bombing the targets they disigante, which means, more teamwork

Re: PR 0.6 Updated Aircraft video preview

Well maybe let A10 fly high and have a giant zoom cam like real ones, that is how they spot em I think.

And a screen like the TV missle screen and that is for bombs...you fly level and point the crosshair on target, then click, and that is where the bomb will fall, what do you think? I want that!!! please...is that possible?

Ugh I don't like the sound of that honestly. I know the green box maybe unrealistc but it makes up for the fact that bomber aircraft can't get their TV screen zoom to see distant targets, nor can they see distant targets at all because of the ****ty BF2 rendering distance for vehicles. I know you guys are making some breakthroughs in regards to greater view distance and such, but nerfing the green boxes for bombers is going a bit too far IMHO. Like other things in the mod, they have to 'simulate' alot of the stuff they we have in real life. I'll hold my final reservation until I see some drastic view distance changes, but this change doesn't sound good to me.

Re: PR 0.6 Updated Aircraft video preview

well fig when i say spotting targets the spot maybe show a big green box over the target it was spotted for a very long view distance so you had plenty of time to line it up

Re: PR 0.6 Updated Aircraft video preview

Aha ok, but what about my bomb sights?

Re: PR 0.6 Updated Aircraft video preview

maybe but you cant get a zoom to zoom in beyond the maps view distance...

[-Shifty-]

Re: PR 0.6 Updated Aircraft video preview

Yeah not THAT far. Like 200m

Are you going to consider that? Do you have an idea of what bombing sights are going ot look like?

Re: PR 0.6 Updated Aircraft video preview

liek they are teh sleek now i cant wait :P

Re: PR 0.6 Updated Aircraft video preview

I can't wait

Re: PR 0.6 Updated Aircraft video preview

Oh, and you should greatly increasse the bomb explosion radius, a real Mk. 82 would wreck a tank if it landed even 10m - 15m from it.
