1C Team Questions and Requests (closed)

Type of improvement: More natural placement of buildings
Explanation: The extremely lined-up feeling if villages in much of CoD is very artificial. Buildings do not normally line up perfectly, particularly not in less built up areas. (see some pictures below). Recent development shots shows some extremely nice Russian farmland buildings, again with the mathematical (and quite unnatural) precise line-up.
Benefits: Environment, navigational (buildings/quarters as landmarks easier to spot)


Small village (the size that's all over the place in IL2 maps), England. Notice the houses align to the roads, not to an overall line-up:


Small scale industry, London. Notice even adjacent houses don't allways line up:


Large scale industry, Hungary. Notice several lines of line-up:

Type of improvement: Colour blind facility.
Explanation of proposal: Facilitate in "set-up" a "tick box" for users with colour blind problems, especially in the red green spectrum.
Benefits: Colour blind users would be more able to identify "friend or foe" when flying for the Axis forces. IE: Not trying to sight red icons against a green back drop. Also make AC colour icons more visually apparent at a distance.

Type of improvement: Smoth FOV change - Zoom IN & Zoom OUT

Explanation: It's very annoying to use only 3 FOV settings ( wide, normal, gunsight) like it was in old IL2. Most nowadays simulators use smoth ZOOM settings.

Benefits: More practical and better immersion

Type of improvement: Convoy Commander Role

Explanation of proposals: As playable role, a single player selects a mission, then determines make-up of convoy and route. Commander controls departure/stops/route changes, coordinates crossing open spaces, bridges, or other higher-threat areas. Commands to unclude setting up/striking organic AA, requesting intel, requesting air support, ordering stop/cover/camoflage, including repositioning errant AI vehicles, sending detached recon ahead and recalling, making minor vehicle repairs. Penalty to include forced rest/maintenace stops, increased for heavily-equipped units, and inability to cross certain areas for those heavier units. Completion of mission gives side an advantage (temporary increase/availability of higher-octane A/C fuel, uprated A/C engines, more effective airfield defenses, continued progress of combatant units). Aifields, train depots, combatant units in the field (especially if their ammo/fuel has limits), or factories would be destination. Latter suggests mixed civilian/military units, which again determines terrain limits/alternate routes. Mixed could also allow second player role, where Military commander concentrates on protection, while civilian leader herds the sheep.

Benefits: More useful/welcome to flying units. Greater challenge to pilots with less impact on player seats and possibility for more widespread/realistic impact on battlefield (e.g., 5 players could field as many convoys/complimentary missions). Rewards pilots who assist even when not their primary mission. Overall, a more constructive/cooperative "meeting" of ground and air units.

Type of improvement:Graphics

Explanation of proposal: The low grass looks rather bad; it's better not to have it unless it's about a foot tall. The ground textures are nice and should be seen. Tall grass and wheat look great.

benifits: Added FPS and it looks better.

[Ace Cheese]

Type of improvement: Interface

Explanation of proposal: Make the user-face look better and more user-friendly, get rid of the aircraft icons; replace with list form, enable easy quick missons like 1946.
Il-2 1946 functionality crossed with the presentation of ROF. Some film clips of gun-cam and appropriate theatre footage in the background of the menus would look fantastic.

Benefits: I will buy the entire series.

[klem]

Type of improvement:Graphics

Explanation of proposal: Far too much long grass on areas of airfields where it would have been mown. These are not rough Landing Grounds rushed into action in France during 'Overlord' they are properly maintained airfields. Unnecessary graphics loading. Please reduce height and general size (its grass not wheat) and reduce the cartoon waving effect.

benifits: Improved FPS and more realistic appearance.

S!

Type of improvement: Documentation of game settings that can be changed outside the game, like conf.ini or adding these options to the GUI.

Explanation of proposal: If possible devs could publish information on these settings to allow users to tweak the game more than just via the GUI. Or settings that have an effect could be added to the GUI for example as Advanced Graphics Options.

Benfits: More options for users to tweak to achieve personal preference. Less problems as all applicable tweak options are available.

Type of improvement:
Provide a means for mission builders to link to pdf documents, html web pages, jpg images & sound files (mp3, wav, ogg) for use from the mission briefing screens. Alternatively, show these document types from the briefing screen in in-game windows.

Explanation of proposals:
Currently mission briefings are limited to text descriptions only. The power of multi-media document content & use is lost. There is no easy method to include recon. photo's, verbal mission briefing voice-overs for mission backgrounds, or other types of multi-media documents appropriate to the mission.

Benefits: Improved game imersion & mission briefing information.

[Spinfx]

Type of improvement: Gameplay cooperative

Explanation of proposals: In a multiplayer environment, allow one player to be a admin. This admin can oversee all aircraft, ships and vehicles on the map and see all aircraft in external view. This admin player who is managing the server can then introduce missions on the fly and act as air controller directing the flights to AI targets. This admin player can be considered a gamemaster of sorts. i.e. introduces a mission to sink a ship that just left calaise for boulogne or destroy a Hitlers train just leaving dunkirk for calais etc. This player can also move front lines depending on the success of missions. Ideally, the admin player should have a mini editor allowing home to place flights and vehicles etc in the game, but just even introducing prepared missions as can be now will do.

Benefits: The game could be more dynamic in a sense depending on the number of players and flight arrangements. Just more fun to add to this already incredible game.
