CMO RUNNING POLL - Gameplay feature requests

[jmlima]

Does weather affect air operations in this version? If not, that.

Ability to create a Strike Mission and add targets to it, but only have it trigger once the Target is Hostile. I'd like to be able to set up Strike Missions that will launch to attack specific enemy AEW, Radars, AAD, Ships, etc..., but only after they've been declared Hostile. As of now, the 'Auto-Launch' part works, but you can't specify targets for the mission.

As of now, the 'Hostile' as a minimum is there at the top of the Dialog Box, but as soon as you add a specific target to the mission, the side becomes Hostile.

Instead of just showing the Score, how about a more detailed breakdown once the Scenario is ended? Most of the info is already in Losses/Expenditures, but maybe summarize / compare it?

Something like, by unit types (5th Gen Fighters, 4th Gen Fighters, bombers, DDG, etc...):
"You lost 35% less <Unit Types> vs. the Enemy", or
"You lost 1 DDG vs. 3 enemy DDGs lost"

You can even break down expenditure by Weapon Type -
"You expended 135 BVR AA weapons vs. the enemy's 158". (Basically, one line per unit / weapon type.)

Yes, it may be lopsided in some scenarios (like an Air Force vs Naval Units), but that's OK.
"You expended 39 Long Range SAMS vs the enemy's 0"
"You expended 0 Guided Air-To-Ground Weapons vs the enemy's 32"
"You lost 0 Multi-Role Attack Aircraft vs the enemy's 5"
"You lost 1 Frigate vs. the enemy's 0"

It may take a minute to crunch the numbers, but it only needs to happen once at the end of the scenario.

Maybe even add the ability (via LUA events?) for Scenario Authors to include their own items to the summary, like "3 out of 4 Primary Targets Destroyed", or "Significant (>80%) of enemy air losses incurred."

planes that are airborne should be added to the flight ops screen.

Just voted for Fog of war in TACVIEW, because it seems like such a basic feature, that I want to see this before everything else.

I mean it's strange to integrate a Tool for more immersion and at the same time it breaks the immersion, because there is no fog of war. Hmmmm...

Props to the devs that we have it.

So people care more about local weather than for multiplayer? C'mon dudes.[&:] I recognise though what kind of problems design of multiplayer mode would bring. I have a feeling Real-Time style with small scenarios would work just fine, just like in Harpoon 3:

+1 for all the people who are not on the forums to vote as it is SP only. What a great way to get so many more people interested in the genre if they could play against the best opponent in the world. That is humans' hands down. Have been wargaming on PC's since the 80's and no AI can be a proper substitute IMHO.

Sounds to me like the public is speaking loud and clear.

[Grazyn]

I really wish there was a way to disable the new feature of borders and coastlines fading out as you zoom in. Currently, the lines disappear completely at a camera altitude of 400 km, which makes it really hard to set up "border-clash" scenarios or exclusion zones, or fine-tuned navigation (since the satellite map doesn't always overlap the actual coast). I don't quite understand what prompted such a change...

[ultradave]

There may be a technical reason why they aren't there anymore, but would it be possible to bring back some more of the speed-up options?

I find the 15 sec, 1 minute and 5 minute options really useful in submarine scenarios where movement is very slow, or where significant movement needs to happen to close range. The current flaming afterburner speed is a little drastic on my machine, and I find myself nervously ready to stop it before it gets out of hand.

This is definitely a low priority request and nothing that is broken.

They have the buttons at the bottom of the screen to move time forward a certain amount of time....I'm still getting used to it.

[Empty014]

Can't believe there is still no TOT in this game as its so important for any strike. pull your fingers out

I know about them, thanks. What I'd like is to watch the sim operate at the larger time compression speed.

I am sure are panicked now. They'll get right on it.

I actually share your request, but when I asked (on steam) they said the buttons on the bottom were the replacement. [:(]

[magi]

I would like to see:
The game speed bar and the timestamp at the top of the screen to be smaller.. they don’t need to be so big....
I would like to right click on the mouse to center the map on the cursor.....
I would like to not have to display the unit picture in the unit status field… It takes up too much room....
Something is wrong with using OOB.... causing the game to crash....
I think the stylized NATO icons are just slightly plump and could be a little skinnier....
I would like a shortcut key for the LOS feature....

The thing I absolutely miss the most is a simple volume control.
Not actually a gameplay request and probably a much smaller fix than most things on that list.
But forgetting to adjust the volume mixer on mission startup and getting your ears blown off gets old really quick.

+1

CMO is DEAFENING on launch for some reason, and it doesn't seem to like to remember the volume I set it to in the Windows volume mixer unlike some other programs.

In Aircraft entries in the Database, I think that it would make more sense to put the hyperlinks to the weapons DB entries in with the Aircraft Stores, rather than Aircraft Loadouts. That way, when one looks through the stores and thinks "what is that one?," the hyperlink is right there, no need to comb through loadouts to try to find it again. Also, the hyperlinks are easier to click on in the stores section because there is more space between them.

The CMNAO way of putting them in BOTH places is fine, too.

[Darren_H_slith]

I would like to request:
Separate volume control for background music and voice/unit sound effects.
