CMO RUNNING POLL - Gameplay feature requests

[blu3s]

Natural order in the name of the aircrafts in the mission editor. Now it appears W #1, W #10,W #11, W #12, W #2 W #3 and it would be more helpful if it was W #1 W#2... W#10 W #12...

Hello

The ability to have missile systems that can be retargeted in-flight e.g SSM-700K C-Star

Pretty sure that's already possible, as long as the weapon has a datalink connection to a suitable platform....?

Thanks for that!

Hi

This would be good, any plans for this? ....

Thanks I have signed up and will add the weapon request.

Heres a really trivial thing thats been bugging me for a while now.

It would be awesome if had a "toggle feature" for the "hide non-available" button regarding aircraft on ships.

It is really annoying that I have to enable it each and every time I go into the aircraft tab of a given ship. Coding it would take like a minute I assume.

I guess the weather/night feature can be taken from poll. Thanks for implementing.

[artao5]

I commonly find myself wanting to adjust several things at once in both of these menus. It would be very very useful to be able to leave them open as a separate window so we could manage more easily what is displayed and how.
Regarding implementation: Perhaps rather than two windows, one single window with tabs for each. Or even a simple two-column window could work.

[artao5]

I see nowhere else to suggest this.
This thread is all a bit of an overwhelming mess. Having the poll is GREAT! But requests would be much clearer if feature requests had their own sub-forum rather than a single thread. Then they could be discussed and would be more visible overall rather than be buried in a 29-page-and-running thread with a low signal-to-noise ratio. Just as with bugs each having their own individual threads.

Today's my wishlists:
[*] Line/bearing tool show line and circle like those of SCS Sub Command/Dangerous Waters: https://imgur.com/a/fc02eht

[*] Databox show true bearing/relative bearing from selecting unit: "25nm/135deg/184deg from selected" (contact's relative bearing useful for entering sub's buffle, "xxxdeg" until contact heading known however).

[*] Surface ship/submarine components, in addittion to weapon damage, are automatically destroyed along with overall damage (avoid unrealistic/gamey "taken 85% damage but many of weapon/sensor still work and aircraft can land" situations):

-25-30% damage randomly destroys 1/3 components. Aircraft landing no longer possible even with operational air facilty (takeoff only). Submarine could dive 2/3 of max depth.

-50-60% damage randomly destroys additional 1/3 components. Aircraft takeoff/landing no longer possible even with operational air facilty. Submarine could dive 1/3 of max depth.

-75-80% damage destroys all components. Submarine must surface and cannot dive again. (reference from Harpoon V rule)

[*] Sound fx for guided bomb launch, especially for long range weapon like walleye or SDB. This is rather notification purpose and could be use same sfx as other weapon launch.

[*] Recognize naval mine as event trigger target unit (to create "mine has laid at area" event).

[*] Shortcut for show/hide unit/contact slug trail

Possibility to hide weapon range circles for neutral units.

That would aid to keep the uncertainty in scenarios where fishing boats and the like are used to "hide" pirates and the like.

Identification on the type of boat can be done from a distance, of course, but identifying if the boat carries a RPG would require to close in. Now, as soon as the boat is identified, a weapon range circle tells you something you should not know.

Of course, switching off range circles completely is a workaround, but I would like to keep them for hostile and unfriendly units at least.


Range circles visibility based on posture would be ideal, but that could be more difficult to code.

Cheers!

Capability to refuel at an airbase keeping the weapons already loaded ...

I'm not trying to "game" the ready times. I see and appreciate their importance, but I have found this situation: bombing a group of ships in a given area with a Sea Harrier; two sidewinders left; refuel at a FARP and ready to ferry to original airbase; the two sidewinders are left at the FARP;

I haven't found a way to "keep" them for the return flight (without going into the editor, of course)

Cheers!

+1
I have had it happen where, for instance, two Seahawks take off rather than one accidentally, so I immediately RTB it; it's still hovering next to the ship basically. It still went into the full 3hrs of ready-ing, which messed up my patrol cycle.

[artao5]

A "Max units/formations on-station at once" setting.
Many times I have set something up wrong or there's a bug where a mission sends up too many units for some reason. It would be useful to hard-limit the number of units that can be on-station at once.
Perhaps I am misusing or misunderstanding the '1/3 rule.' If so, please elaborate.

Minimise button for air ops

Is there any plan to implement fuel usage?

For example, as each vehicle rearms and loads, it could draw down fuel from the host facility. This would make underway replenishment and petroleum supply ships/flights/truck convoys more relevant to large scale long duration scenarios.

It could also provide another layer of operational detail to forward arming and refueling points and isolated island air & naval bases.

Add an estimation of human casualties to the losses, KIA, missing and wounded.

In exclusion zones, can we get unit speed, heading, and maybe height as a parameter for being hostile/unfriendly? I have read several accounts with earlier radar that a ship target was determined to be hostile based on the speed and heading. In the battle of Latakia, the Captain of one of the Israeli missile boats made hostile declarations based on the fact he knew a Syrian ship was heading back to base and was at 40 knots. That was much faster than commercial and private ships in the area.

This is something I have wrestled with for the AI for a few weeks. I have worked out a rough lua approach, but its relatively fragile and not easy to transport from scenario to scenario.
