4.13 development update discussion and feedback

[Woke Up Dead]

Bombsight updates look great. What are the three little lights in the Soviet bombers at the end of the video?

Navigator looking at bombsight and get correcting direction of flight by pushing buttons and lit that three lamps ... and pilot flight right or left o directly ahead) ... nothing more))) in our planes all was simple)

Fully workable Norden bomb sight! WooT!

For planes that don't have the Norden or its equivalent, will there be a method for the bombardier to communicate with the pilot?

Can you fly as a bomber pilot while an AI bombardier gives you commands? (e.g., "left, steady, up, right, steady, bombs gone")

Guys, did you actually watch the video to the end?

No. Or not yet, at least.

I saw videos.
Excellent.
"The bomber festival" will in coming. I polish my foot pedal and wait for the v4.13.

Yes. I just wasn't sure if the displayed messages represented confirmation of changes to bomb sight settings or messages sent to the pilot.

I imagined that you clever TD guys would have thought of commands from bombardier to pilot.

I can understand the delay in setting up the pilot's ability to respond to voice commands from the bombardier, however. Not only do you have to record a new voice actor (bombardier) for each nationality, but you also have to link that new voice actors scripts into the program. Lots of work for a tiny bit of extra immersiveness.

Anyhow, 4.13 looks to be "the high altitude bomber update."

The bombsights are fantastic... If only we would have new flyable LW bombers!

Anyway, big thanks to TD!
