Kill streaks?

For those who evidently cannot be bothered watching the video see below a rough transcript of Luthier commenting on new players in IL-2 and CoD at about 10.30 (relying on the translation btw). This is all I am talking about - the devs obviously see the need to get more people into the game and I applaud them. There just isn't going to be an IL-2#3 without this.

Int.: 'So let’s say I can’t fly at all. Can I get started easily?'

Luthier: 'Yes. We really care about this. We are always concerned with our older titles that newer players cannot get started easily and needed to invest a lot of time to get good and people flying without joysticks, flying with keyboard keys… We did have one or two IL-2 veterans who would fly online and consistently win with just keyboards.

'But we really tried to make the learning curve less steep in CoD, make it much more accessible. Can fly with your keyboard, with no joystick with relaxed realism, easy physics, everything complex turned off and just fly around and slowly enable complex options at your own pace and get more and more out of the game.'

Those options are for the flight model to be less realistic so they don't get frustrated and leave. Very similar to a "training" scenario. No where did he mention that in the game options that a KILL STREAK or UNLOCK ability would be enabled. You should read and try to understand a thread before you post on it.

Im all for servers having less realistic flight model or collision. Because at the end of the round the flyer with the most skill will be the leader. Not because he killed three guys and WAMBO WOOMBA MAGIC TASTICALLY A SUPER MUMBO JUMBO SUPER PLANE kills 12 more of his enemies. Ala: Call of Duty.

I am for keeping a combat flight SIM, about the SIMULATION of COMBAT FLIGHT.


Whether you played it on super easy or super hard, the method of downing another pilot would be to put his plane on the other end of your bullets. End of story.
