I'd pay ($50) for an add-on that offered a "hardcore mode" where the AI would actually turn and fly their planes to the limit of the aircraft and where they didn't fatigue from the fight quite so fast.

In other words, if you were flying against an AI DR1, you wouldn't be able to out turn him if he was an Ace and you were in anything but maybe a Camel. I believe either Winder or Pol stated that the AI pilots don't currently fly their aircraft to the limit of their abilities, so this would definitely make fights quite brutal.

Maybe the pilot Fatigue would be a multiple of the AI skill level, so Novice AI pilots would Fatigue from a fight at the current rate, Veterans would take 1.5 times longer to Fatigue than the Novices and Aces would take 2X as long to Fatigue as Novice AI pilots.

Wishes:

Would like to have the form up pattern after T/O be flown in an higher level by AI flight leader, at least let's say at 1500 feet AGL. Was it historically flown at 500 feet? The time to react in case of engine troubles is far too short, IMHO.

i am sure it has been listed many times ... but a workshop setting or slider for amount of fences or turn them off completely please and thanks

Can't somebody edit the files and remove the titanium fences? That would be a usefule user mod.

More early planes as metioned in the news letter was on my wish list. Any chance of a Taube?

A workshop setting controlling whether the HAs stay until their historical end date or are just as vulnerable as everyone else would be nice.

Maybe just a new setting next to enemy always engages that forces only HA's to always engage?

Also,observers on two seaters that sit when there is no contact and a highly improved briefing map.Takes me a long time to figure out where the map is pointing to so that I can place location on Louvert map.

There is already a setting in the Workshop that sets Enemy AI to Always Engage. I am more interested in the Ace AI being able to fly their planes closer to the limit of the planes performance and not give up quite so fast, but still cut and run if the engagement just isn't going their way.

I have killed a few aces so far but these are in slightly inferior planes than mine so I cant really tell you what its like fighting an ace in an equal or better airplane.If you say they might be a bit too easy I don't see why they cant increase slightly with an option in workshop.

I would like to see AI pilots looking at you when your on thier tail....would be great for screen shots

I would love to see those fantastic clouds moving with wind...

I have grown to like the ground loop effect the N16 Nieuport has.This really adds to a feeling of danger when landing and some of these planes were very hard to land smoothly.In the N16 you need to add in a good amount of left rudder at a certain speed but also you have to pull back on stick to prevent it from nosing over.So with wheels down you first have to judge when to apply back pressure as too early and you risk getting airborne again and then with back pressure applied you wait for the yaw and counter with rudder.

Would like to see the other taildragger planes get some sort of this stuff added to them,just not with the severe nose over the N16 has.Dipping wings causing damage etc.I am probably alone in this wish though.

No, I would love to see more difficult ground handling in the planes where it is warranted...namely the rotaries.

But to be honest I would rather see OBD spend their time elsewhere at the moment giving us mortal aces and time advance for longer periods than one day.

Second thing I would like to see is a plane add-on or two with the Caudron G4, Breguet 14 and the Airco DH4.

There's just so many pages to read, so I hope I'm not just repeating someone else

It would be nice to see the observer ranks in RNAS squadrons with the RNAS Observer ranks. Came across a site that shows the observer ranks and got thinking.

Would like to see observer messages up in the urgent messages area that signal when observer has started his task,be that observation or artillery spotting and then a message after the allotted time that he is done with task.Simple thing but it will give a feel of accomplishing something as right now you feel as if you are just flying circles.

Make it difficult to escape simply by flying at tree top level. Almost feels like a cheat method.

Some will try to fly level but always just be above my plane and thus can't get a shot in on me. Was able to fly this way with EA behind me for about 10 minutes until it decided to go home.

I know this is completely impossible, but I would like to be able to enlist a pilot as an observer/gunner and then he would be assigned a pilot. The pilot would be AI of course, but gunner claims would be separate.

At the moment all my flights in Sopwith 1½ Strutters are as an observer looking out the back with my Lewis gun. I might have a kill, but I'm not sure as maybe the pilot got that one. I suppose if one were an observer they would have to stop the switch to the pilot seat or something like that. Sounds difficult from a programming point of view and as I am the only one who seems to do this I don't mind if it never happens. Just an idea...

But I'll give a try in the latest campaign as a Bristol F2b gunner - look it up - a few of those guys had high scores! No wonder the Krauts kept away from them. The best British aircraft of the war really.

I just recently read or maybe it was watched a video where the presenter was saying that while we only hear of the aces the two seater planes were death machines.Much higher kill counts from bombs and other types of attacks on concentrated groups of men.

Would love a modified sound file, where the wind sounds increase abruptly when moving the players/pilots head out of the cover of the windscreen... This would add a lot to immersion I think...

That (even if it seems impossible under this engine) is one of the best features of Rise of Flight, that and the rain marks in the windscreen,...to sum up, all the simulation features are great in Rof , the historical ww1 sim features are great in WOFF, idel world would be to have them all. Dreaming,...
