DLC Ideas

[IIJ0SePhXII]

Paint shop: the complete freedom to design our own paint jobs then use them in multiplayer.

Pacific maps & missions aircraft carriers

Some fun stuff maybe, like racing or bomb raid racing

An Operation Barbarossa campaign for the Luftwaffe. Not sure a Russian developer would put it in though.

i hope they will make a dlc where we can apply our own paintscheme and i would love to see the avro lancaster so maybe some bomberescort missions into germany or a add on normandy campain with the beaches and the outbreak

De havilland Mosquito. Perfect plane for the anti tank,bridge, train missions. They could use the Spitfire engine sound to save trouble too

[Soviet Ace]

Nice ideas everyone. I think maybe if the incorporate Carriers, they could include some Wildcats with Atlantic markings?

Example of Atlantic Markings

Wait. You want a Defiant?! That plane sucked! Why would anyone want to fly a fighter without any fixed armament? The Italian planes are a good idea, though. I'd also like to see a P-40E, P-38 & a Tempest.

a co-op campaign or two would get me forking out some ms points.

would also like to see some lesser-known or less successful aircraft in the game. actually a defiant would make for some cool co-op night fighting missions if you could have 2 ppl as pilot and gunner, though i agree it wouldnt make a lot of sense as a single player plane.

I want skins like this

I remember being transfixed by this artwork from my childhood.

Man, how many of those did you used to buy! I swear I bought one almost every day (they suffered considerable stress fatigue lol).

My little nephew had one the other day. They haven't changed at all.

Anyway, sorry back on topic...

Ok, I have spent all day rethinking things I would like to see in the game, some of it we might get, some we probably won't, can't get it all.

Night-fighter missions: Mosquitos for the Brits; P-61 Black Widows for the Americans; 110's for the Germans; I am honestly not sure about Russian night fighting, my thesis was on the Luftwaffe and I guess I just never read about them.

P-40 in all its variations
Operation Torch - down and dirty desert fighting with a lot of ground support missions, sandstorms, difficult navigations, etc.

The Tempest and Typhoon, how can you have a WW II game without them?

As one guy before me said, The Falaise Gap campaign - air power played a major role in that campaign and a lot of pilots lost their lives doing high-speed, low-level missions, doing everything they possibly could to save the lives of allied ground troops.

Give us an online mode where the history of the war is slightly irrelevant. Players choose a side and there is an ongoing war. Your faction gains ground depending upon airfield captures or wins. Then your faction is able to use that airfield in the war. Like the old conquest mode in MechAssault 2.

Maybe a "What If..." campaign where the Luftwaffe didn't screw up so bad and held on a little longer;

P-38J/L - they played a big part in Europe, not as much as the Pacific, but it was a great attack platform;

Customizable Aircraft! I don't mean totally unrealistic, Andy Warhol disaster art, just the kind of customizations that were available: nose art, squadron paint schemes, the little things that mattered. On that note:

Squadron/Clan Support - If people had a squadron system built into the game, squadrons could fight other squadrons, everybody could work together towards a common goal. Some squadrons might have guys that are expert bombers, while some are better fighters. Squadrons could work together to play to their strengths. It might take more than 16-player online support, but PS3 has it, why can't the 360 as well?

Finally... Photo Reconnaisance missions - those guys had serious guts, you take an unarmed plane into hostile air, be as fast as you can and as accurate with the camera as you can, relying only on God, good pilotage and airspeed to keep you alive.
They have done such an amazing job representing how flying really works in this game so I almost feel guilty asking for more from the developers. But, a wish list is a wish list.
