Give me some "holy sh... did that just happen" ideas

... copied from my other post ...

Here are 3 things which occurred to me today whilst reading Al Deere's Nine Lives. I reckon they would make great additions to SOW.

I wonder if you agree and if anyone knows if any of these will be modelled in SOW?

1. Anti-landing posts - these were wooden posts stuck into fields in southern England to stop German gliders landing. They also proved to be obstacles for stricken RAF pilots making crash landings on home ground during the BoB. Pretty easy to add to SOW I would have thought?

2. De Wilde Ammunition - initially available in short supply in the early stages of the BoB, this ammunition had no tracer smoke but instead flashed on impact. Pilots found this extremely useful as a visual guide to see if their shots were on target. Of course, not having tracer also meant this was a more stealthy way of attacking from the rear. Again, I would assume not too tricky to implement in SOW.

3. Automatic Fire Tenders - no doubt more tricky to implement, but how cool would it be if a fire tender and associated vehicles/personnel automatically rushed over to a crash landed aircraft that made it back to a friendly airfield. Hauling an injured pilot out of the cockpit would be nice too!

If u in arcade and being chased by like 4 guys that outmanoeuver u. There's nothing you can do but use your speed and do wild crazy manoeuvers to try and shake them off as best you can do.

Forgive me if any of these ideas have been posted before, but i would like to see the following for single player/campaign.

1. I would like to be able to change the names in the pilot roster for my squadron, I know it sounds a little bit daft, but if you can put names in of people you know then you do hope they make it back in one piece, rather than just red 2 being shot down. does that make sense?

2. I would also like to see an attachment to my aircraft, for example if i take a couple of hits in a mission it would be nice to visibly see in the next mission that it as been patched up, you really would want to get the old girl home if you'd done 20 sorties in her.

3. I would also like to see my kills painted on my aircraft after each sortie.

HI!!!

I think the following ideas, that are:

- Show the weight when you config. your plane, by example: when i get the default 109 G-6 its weight xxxxx, but I added MK108 gun his weight is xxxx (diferent). The weight would change and SHOW whit the config load and litters in gas tank.

- I read in several pilots WW2 boook that when they were hitted in any surface control the stick jumped and shaking out control during a bit time. It would be modeled.

Thx.

Some people seem to misunderstand what this topic is about.

Instructions, from the first post of the topic:

..looking for some ideas to break up the monotony. Things that make you jump out of your seat. Things that immerse you in the game world. These can be based on historical events, or these can be your own ideas, as long as they're rooted in reality.

This means things that happen before the mission, during the mission, or after the mission. Interesting new mission types. Events. Features. These can be one-off events we may try to recreate during the mission, or more general ideas such as "it'd be cool if X did Y when Z".

See your wingman telling something to you with hand gestures from his cockpit, ( or maby only say hello, even enemy sometimes ) while radio silence. This would be really funny and inmersive thing, eh!, the guy of the other plane is really alive !
