+1. Plus, it'd be cool for the player and not just the AI to have the ability to bail out, when flying for Germany during the late war. But WITH a chance of the chute not deploying!

If there was a woffairy granting three wishes...I'd wish (in order of importance) :
1. Planepack of early french twoseaters,like Caudron G.4,Voisin 5 or 8, Farman F.40.AI only would be fine to me smile2
2.As good as WOFF does look in bad and variable weather conditions,i'd love to see a little bit more of the landscape,especially on clear days.I remember reading the report of an observer, who described spotting Dunekirk from above Lille (!) I know ,the CFS3 Engine can do (much) more than just displaying ~15k ...'On a Clear Day'.
3.I still miss the more populated map of OFF BHaH, those little villages giving the scenario a more authentic european touch...
Couldn't resist ...

I would like something like this not to occur in WOFF:




You can't "scare" the enemy and claim it.


"Take the cylinder out of my kidneys,
The connecting rod out of my brain, my brain,
From out of my arse take the camshaft,
And assemble the engine again."

You can ram an enemy Plane. If it crashes because of that, it's couted as official Kill. That's probably, what's happened, there...

I'm curious, there's no Beguet XIV in game? Neither flyable or AI?

Not the slightest interest of beating the dead horse, simply curious.

I imagine this has come up over the years, but I would like it that, if you exit play in campaign mode, the game 'assumed' all AI pilots in your squadron made it home. (Unless they're already destroyed, or perhaps a simple randomizer based on current plane damage.)

If I have to abort my mission for one reason or another, sometimes it gets tedious trying to decide how long to give the AI to finish up....and sometimes, as just happened to me, if you exit by accident your squad can lose half its men.

Ran across something recently about which I admit I was absolutely ignorant: "trench lights." Came from a German two-seater pilot in a post-war interview:

[Discuss flying an Alb at night to try to shoot down French bombers attacking the airfield] “The next night was better and I found the planes and the Flak and I got in but our Flak never stopped! They were not the lattice type, but the Farman type (Breguet?). They got away and I followed them for quite a distance across the trench lights. By the way how do I know the trench lights? The trench lights you know because they were shooting up these Very pistols all the time. Through the whole line you could see from these lights coming down.”

I saw a comment by Winder on CombatAce where he said that WOFF X might have additional ground activity going on to increase immersion.

The number one area I would like to see this is at the airfield. Maybe some static vehicles or mechanics/armorers/etc at the end of the field waiting to help the pilots out of their planes and to push the planes back to the hangers.

Also, a vehicle or two just going about their business on the airfield before takeoff and after landing would be great (maybe driving out to meet the incoming planes just after you've landed).

And of course more is always better, but just that little bit would be big bang for the buck IMO.

There is a truck the drives up and down the strip at the back of the airfield now, but yes it would be cool to see some ambulances and other support trucks near the edge of the field, especially when planes are landing.

Would like to see more gun placements protecting airfields and balloons.I have already set ground weapons to accurate to make flying over enemy encampments a bit of a gamble but just one extra gun at each target will up the danger a bit more to force you to make decisions on how low you wanna fight at.

It would be nice to see (AI-flyable if not player flyable):

HALBERSTADT CL.II (purdy pleez!) Just my opinion, but there seems to be a nice mid-to-late war niche perfect for this plane. This plane has a great many striking paint schemes

Airco de Havilland DH4

Breguet 14 (sorry... I know it has been described as a dead horse... but I just had to say it once.)

The Sopwith Dolphin would be really cool.

WOFF devs, Thank you LOADS for all the hard work you put into this sim!

Why is the Breguet 14 a dead horse. I've got it as one of my two most important wish list planes (plus the Caudron G.4). I really think the biggest gap in WOFF is an early French and late war French 2-seater to bracket the mid-war Strutter. This would really flesh out the French Recce/Bomber career which is pretty slim right now.

What's up with the Brequet 14, in particular?

+1 on the DH.4 also. Both it and the Brequet 14 were built by the thousands for WWI. They might be the two most significant planes we are missing (strictly measured by the number that served in WWI).

The WOFF 2 map has now become so beautiful, I'd like to drive a little vehicle of some kind around in WOFF. One shared one for the Entente and a different one for Germany would do. It could spawn at your airfield and would be available to all squadrons in the game. I got to really looking close at a couple of the truck models in the game, and I thought, I'd like to get inside and take if for a drive! smile

+1 on the Bruguet, without it and the Salmson you can't fly an American two-seater campaign. I would've rather seen these two than the Fokker D.II and Pfalz E.III both were produced in very small numbers.

Implement Mission Failures as severe consequences. From what I understand, successful missions for the squad were more important than individual victories.

WOFF does an excellent job of immersion, except for victory numbers. It seems that downing an enemy plane takes precedence over completing a mission since there are no repercussions for failed missions. That's why there are some WOFF pilots that have unrealistic victories which would put even the red baron to shame.

I would like WOFF to force the player to stay at around say 90% mission completion rate or suffer a severe consequence.

During WW1, what would happen to a pilot or squad that have poor mission completions for extended periods?
