What do you think it is that Luthier thinks will have Competitors squirming?

[patrat1]

player controlled AA, as several people have already mentioned.

You will be able to catch VD from a slapper at a village bar near the airfield?

Open source the game.

Maybe with the new look terrain they have manged to increase the area of maps to go all the way to Berlin? That way we could have a Bomber Command missions to the Ruhr.

Rof and Clod will merge ...

[JG5_emil]

ATC to be able to vector air units i.e. a ground controller

[Meusli]

How about more detail on the ground, like farm animals, humans and buses and cars (that we have seen in past updates) grazing, walking and driving about.

[ATAG_Doc]

The option to use a scrotum sack image for kill mark over the swastika.

Well, in Luthier's words, it has to be:

A. Cool
B. Major
C. Able to make its competitors squirm

So here's my 3:

1. First person scramble along with all those 'shelf loads of crew animations' that Luthier mentioned a while ago.
2. Dynamic weather (though we all thought we'd got this when we bought CLOD in the first place)
3. Playable AA ground crew or, at a push, playable air-sea rescue for downed crewmen.


My money's probably on dynamic weather, though thats been talked of a lot as a feature that was not finished and hit fps badly. Luthier's comment makes it sound totally new and unique, i.e. Not something previously talked of as planned or originally intended, but its hard to imagine theyve had the time to implement something completely new AND major, I hope he meant it!

Theatre of War uses a modified IL2 engine maybe add RTS ground to online games?
