We would like to see more complex ship AI and make anti shipping missions a better experience. How far this can go and if there are technical limitations, I don't know. Let see...

If there are ANY issues with art content creation to make new naval ops features happen - you guys need new models, need old models changed, or whatever - please feel free to contact me, and I will make it happen.

I'm busy building art for something super-secret at Microsoft right now but I'll have lots of time on my hands here in the next couple months, and I would give one or more extra internal organs to make the Pacific Theater naval combat part of the game what I always hoped it would be when we originally built it 9 years ago.

It's sincere. I don't have quite as much time as I did years back when I was barely 20 and not married, but fortunately 3D tools have advanced so much since then that it's MUCH faster to work on IL2 models (at least for me).

I would give a great, great many things to finally see the features we wanted for Pacific Fighters included in IL-2 - deck crews, landing signal officers, more capital surface combatants, ship AI and detailed damage, all kinds of stuff that we just couldn't make happen in 2004.

Are you offering to build new ships?

Because I really think that we're in some desperate need of some new targets. I've been using the same two transport vessels as targets for years!

I know the N-G licensing issues affects a number of ships but I'm sure there are other options out there.

N-G may have an arguably valid claim to aircraft, but the US naval vessels of WWII were designed by the US Bureau of Ships - a government department. Their design and construction was conducted by federal employees using taxpayer funding and conducted at federal facilities. N-G believes they have ownership of those things because they purchased Newport News in the last few years... that couldn't be further from the truth.

I was mainly thinking of deck crew / Landing Signal Officer models and animations, but ships aren't completely out of the question. There's a horrible shortage of capital surface combatants on all sides for the Pacific theater, but just as much missing gameplay of their interaction with the air war. Air Boss direction and contact with planes over the radio, good dynamic Ship AI, lots of small things that would add immensely.

The whole thing with N-G is laughable if it wasn't so incredibly insane.

LSO interaction would be great for sure. I remember Aces of the Pacific had the little animated guy in the corner of the screen giving you the information on how well you were landing it.

@Plane-Eater

A long time ago I made a suggestion for crew abandoning ship using the columns abandoning vehicles when attacked scenario, is this possible to have ships crew abandoning shipping, not sure if its your department but just a thought

Need Japanese cruisers badly.
