sounds like battlefield. god falling off the carrier is annoying lol

Panzergranate 02-08-2010 04:45 PM

Carriers don't scramble..... they can't.

A pilot waits on deck for his aircraft to be raised to the flight deck on the elevator, waits for it to be prepared by the flight crew, is ushered over to board the fighter, is strapped in and waits to be launched.

Carrier pilots are valeted, so cannot scramble at all.

Hence why there are always Combat Air Patrols circling overhead.

Anybody who's played BS Midway or BS Pacific will be laughing their heads off at the "Carrier Scramble" idea. You should experience just many minutes it takes to launch just 3 fighters from a carrier in the game.

Any incoming bombers will have been, bombed and gone by the time enough fighters made it into the air and up high enough to intercept, by which time it would be pointless.

Having caught out a carrier landing TBFs and desperately trying to clear the decks to launch fighters, I can tell you that myself and another player managed to not only divebomb freely with our Judy divebombers, but also outrun the fighters launched by another carrier that came to deal with us, bearing in mind that the Judy is 65 MPH faster than the F4-F Wildcat. The Carrier we attacked failed to launch a single fighter, despite our bombing attack taking 99% of its health away. We only attacked with 15 divebombers.

I completly agree with what Panzergranate said. the thing i seriously would like to have is a training mission only for straffing and Bombing ground targets. y'know, trains, tanks, Flak, AA, and trucks and grounded aircraft. that'll be sweet! =D

I am not sure, but isnt this possible in training mode ?
If you choose Hostile in the option of enemy fire, ground objects are available to bomb but not sure of what variety of them in the different locations.

I think this would be cool. I remember on rougue squadren 2 on gamecube you select your craft by walking around the hangar and getting in. They took this to another level in rebel strike by intoducing foot based combat before you jump in your x-wing.
I reckon it would b nice for a bonus game or something on bop 2. Maybe also the option to land a battered plane, jump out and sprint to a new one

Battlefront 2 was cool in the space battles, spawn in a carrier jump in an x-wing/tie fighter and either dogfight in space or try and board the enemy ship. The NEED to make a new battlefront game.

haitch40 02-09-2010 02:59 PM

the carier thing was more because it thought it was funny but for the idea i was thinking is more battle of britain or pearl harbour sorta thing

I reckon it'd be great to be able to wander round your Station.. Go to the common room, go to the briefing, get to your plane and your ground crew's waiting to strap you in.. Fly the days missions and then head off to your bed.

running to your plane in the middle of an air raid.. and trying to take off as the bombs drop, that kind of thing would be cool.

Yeah but you still have to fight enemy planes. what i was thinking of, was a HUGE mission for ground attack only. you know; trains that need to straffed and Bridges blown up to stop the train for getting away, tanks that caught fire by our 20 mm cannons. Missions like the raid on Peipers Tigers in the Buldge at mid-night. avoiding German planes that will chew us up for break fast since we're out numberd 20 to 1

Dive Bombing on German HQ and just straffing infantry on the ground and keeping close air support and stuff like that..?;)

silentsniper075 05-13-2010 07:21 AM

I think if you could like stand up in your airplane although it would have to be a bomber but walk round see what it looks like interact with crew see damage and let co-pilot fly

bobbysocks 05-13-2010 06:48 PM

the opportunity to change sides. be the italians, or the germans and go after the 17s in 202s, 109s, 190s, 110s, 163s, and 262s.

kozzm0 05-15-2010 02:52 AM

What I'd like to see, though it's pointless to hope for anything new in BOP, is for them to make use of all the huge maps and have bombing/intercept battles.

Not like strike where they start 5 miles from the target. Instead fly b17's and escorts from Britain to France, and the Germans only know their general location via early warning radar, and have to fly out and find them, and then they have time to attack them right instead of committing suicide

There should also be an RTB option in all modes where you can head back to base to refuel, rearm and maybe get a new plane. All except for the bombers.

dkwookie 05-15-2010 11:27 AM

The pc version has the option to switch planes after a death. I think the option to turn that on or off would be good.
I would also like to see (in arcade) some power up system for bombers. Power up to grandslam and maybe atom if you can rack up enough kills.
I know this will sound terrible to some but I would like to see some elusive high power weapons. Keeps people on their toes

Haha, i guess that's one way to keep the enemy off your six

Riceball 05-15-2010 01:23 PM

To get back to the OPs' question. What would be awsome if this was in bop?

1. Everything we were promised

2. A better than half-assed MP lobby system

3. Equal attention to the 360 version. Blame MS and 505 all you want, it was nothing but an F you to 360 buyers by 505 and 1C. 1C could have put up a fight.

4. It would have been "awesome" if they did'nt just collect money from the console crowed to pay for whatever the new PC title is called. And don't deny it. 1C and 505 did nothing but mine me, and many other 360 buyers so they could make the PC title. (I don't include the PS3 buyers b/c at least you saw an update.)

5. Any respect for American fighters.

Riceball 05-26-2010 12:56 PM

That would be awesome, right?

AgentZigzag 05-26-2010 03:20 PM

I would really like a Killcam.

This is probably just because I am a noob at BOP and want to see my many deaths from other player's... sorry Dkwookie's point of view.

;)

Balderz002 05-27-2010 10:28 AM

It wouldve been awesome to have a monthly dlc (like forza 3) of new planes, different skins, and weapons for use in multiplayer (with maybe the odd new map thrown in). I wouldve prefered to see a Mk.XII or Mk.XIV Spitfire to a Mk.XVI.


How about a Grandslam'd Lancaster for XBL strike missions?!
