SOW will be the only the part of airwar section of this AIO sim. On top of that we will use our hands in real time to touch button or instruments even flight stick and probably it will work like IR-Track but more complex. So that we can pilot and drive other sims like ship, tank.. etc
That is just my 2cents or ma hope  |
That has been tried - in the WW2OL. The problem is that everyone wants to either be the hero, actually do some work for the win or just kill as much and as quick as possible. When the rosters are full, that means that there are nothing but snipers in the inf and Tigers vs. Churchills(or whatever are the current best tanks). The game has to artifically force the players to roles - and this happens with "levels". You can guess if I was pissed when I was told I'd need to get at least 30 kills on sorties I would RTB, with Bf-110C(no bombs), against 50-50% Spitfire/Dewo and Hurri/Hawk75, before they'd let me drive a 109 - the E1 with 4 machine guns only.
There has to be another way.
Besides, trying to do everything usually fails pitifully, and that goes to every game that has tried it. Compromises have to be made. How many simmers would like compromises to be made on flight and damage models, graphics, sounds and moreover maps and plane numbers? They still dont have, after 8 or 9 years, parachutes in WW2OL, and pilots' brains are in the left leg. Not to speak about only bombers being A20(the C, this beast they have from the very beginning of the war) and Blenheim for Allies and He111 and Ju 87 for Germans. I wont go to all the silly stuff that goes in the ground war, the modellings themselves are one thing, how the frontline moves, base capture and how supply is modelled another.
