Yes, I've had that happen too. Good suggestion.


If you quit or die before pilots actually have flown back over the lines, we have estimate what would have happened as there is no more data to use. This losses were reduced in WOFF Expansion.

Air Start helps a lot with this, puts you usually right at the mission point.

Yikes!
Hate to have you guys "estimating" my tax bill!
I have been trying, where possible, to sit where I am at to give to guys a chance to cross back over into friendly territory and/or land. I will watch this a little closer.

It would be great, if the player's achievements (acedom) would be regarded, when new types are given
to the best pilots; rather than to the high ranking HAs only.
Also, it seems that the time is often too long, from when the first pilots receive a new type,
until the whole unit is equipped with them.

I would like to humbly request that all Dawn Patrols in the winter months start after 0800 hours. I've been getting a lot of these:



and while it may look atmospheric, I am not very combat effective for the first :45-1:00 or so...

In my readings take-offs were often in the dark to be OVER the front AT dawn.
FWIW and if it makes you feel any better. I have yet to start (or live long enough) to have a winter campaign.

Isn't the "time advance" button made so, that you can advance time by 1 hour?
If not, maybe that would be a good idea?

You used to be able to advance to the next patrol of the day, if there was one, now it's as MudWasp says. The new system is fine, they just need to take in account sunrise in winter.(which still should be before 7am, though, right?)

A minimum is one day and that is too much sigh.

Did you mention, that if you land on friendly field, all parked aircraft (in front of hangars) are from your unit - i.e. of the same type and skin. I would like to see there a historicaly correct unit´s aircraft and skins (of unit, that operated at that time from this airfield).

Love to have the planes waggle wings when they have spotted the enemy.. maybe hand movement animations and flares.

Also like leader streamers and for the pilots face to get gradually more dirty due to oil...Also like to see some more pilot faces.

Also new arty registering features.

Plus bigger range of ground explosions and shrapnel rounds.

Also mines to go off at the correct time and have MASSIVE explosion and crater formed! Also like to see major historical mine craters visible by air.

Wodin;

I too would like to see all this, but with a proviso! Not at the expense of FPS! I suspect all this activity would cost something in performance, but if I'm wrong I would buy into it.

Robert..yeah I know..just me dreaming:) What with me asking for actual arty rounds in flight modeled so you cna be hit and for them to cause turbulence I reckon the game would hit 5 fps if were lucky!...STill one day I'm sure it will all be modeled in a sim.

I'd like to see the Rumpler CIV carry all 8 5kg bombs. It currently only loads 2 of the 8 bombs.









It would be sweet if a camera was mounted to the plane for appropriate photo recon squads and missions.

Did the Rumpler CIV have a working bomb bay?
I see no bombs externally mounted on it.

When flying normally in formation, AI pilots with faster aircraft should fly at the speed of the slowest aircraft in the formation.

"My wish is that the Jasta units do not fly escort missions - because I don't think they did (unless I am wrong, of course, and they did). The information that I have seen is that escort missions were flown by 2-seater Schusta sections from early 1917 onwards. So a typical German Art.Obs. or Photo.Recon. flight would consist of the 2-seater with the Observer in it and then one or two 2-seaters flying shotgun (i.e a typical WOFF 2-seater flight, but without the Jasta escort). I don't think Jasta units were tied-down to this work, but someone who knows more about them than I do might be able to contradict this?"

Just to contradict myself on this biggrin

I have been reading Rudolf Stark's memoir 'Wings of war: an airman;s diary of the last year of World War I' and he records a number of instances where his Bavarian Jagdstaffel was requested to provide the escort to an important reconnaissance mission across the Front. The impression given is that this was an unusual request, done only in the midst of an offensive. I would guess that at this time the schusta/schlasta units that would normally have done this were otherwise engaged with their main task of providing close support to the ground units. So far as I can tell it does not appear to have been something that was ever done by elite Jagdgeschwader. (?)

Stark also records attacking Allied ground units, although it appears to have been something done as opportunity arose rather than a mission that his Jagdstaffel was tasked to carry out.

B.

So my wish now is that Jasta units fly escort missions only very rarely after 1916
