Multiplayer Co-op.

Hi,

I'll list the four biggest things I'd love to see in WOFF. Again, I love WOFF for what it is. A great eye-opener to the sacrifice and courage that those brave young men on both sides had to endure to fight in the air.

1) I'd like to see the addition of very early Western Front aerial combat in the Summer, Autumn, and Winter of 1914. Even a way to feature the Christmas Truce some how.

2) The second thing I'd like to see is more heavy bombers like the Handley Page O/400 Bomber or the Zeppelin-Staaken R-series. I've always found large bombers fascinating in the First World War

3) The third biggest thing I think would be really impressive to see in WOFF would be maritime operations with the early flying boats such as Felixstowe F.2A or the Brandenburg W12.

4) The fourth thing I'd truly love to see would be the addition of the Eastern Front or maybe even the Italian Front or the Ottoman Empire in some fashion.

Those are just the things I think that would really improve WOFF, but that's just me!

I wish everyone here the very best day possible both in the air and on the ground!

Warmest and kind regards,

Chris

Probably the most critical changes to help WOFF do what it does so well even better would include:

1. Separate pilot photos and decoration systems for RFC and RNAS, with a system for merging the forces after the creation of the RAF.

2. Far fewer NCO pilots in the RFC with an option of enlisting as a 2LT (junior) which would be the current sergeant, with two promotions needed to become at LT.

3. Flight / Kette integrity, with a strict limit on the numbers of Captains and Majors (one Major -- infrequently assigned) and three Captains, for example).

4. Option for random involuntary transfer to a like unit (scout or 2 seater) on promotion.

During the debrief, I would like to be asked by CO to confirm my wing-mates' claims if they selected me as their witness.

add Nieuport 12 in the claim form in April 1917 - I shot down two planes of this type from 45 RFC Squadron in April 1917 and I couldn't find Nieuport 12 in the claim form so I had to choose Twin-seataer type (of course the claims were rejected).

Manfas, this should probably be moved over to the Technical help section since this sounds like an oversight by the Devs.

1. In the Workshop settings, in Encounters: an option for 'Light', as well as 'Historical' and 'Heavy'.

2. Flight size linked to mission type, particularly for 2-seaters: e.g. flights of 1 or 2 aircraft for artillery cooperation missions and photographic recce, with full-flight missions being retained for bombing and long recce (Allied), and single aircraft for long recce (German).

3. Contact and ground attack missions for bomber/recce units.

Roland D model fighter and Spad XV

Bletchley, isn't your first choice already given with "Regional air activity" (Light, Medium, Heavy); and the setting "AI always engage" (on or off)?

Carrick, excellent choice!
Now if you could make it precisely the Roland D.VI, I'd buy the next drinkies!

I don't think so, Olham - otherwise why have the Encounters setting, if this is already dealt with by other settings?

Even with Regional air activity set to Light, with 'AI always engage' to OFF, I am still getting more encounters in the winter of 1916 than I would expect. So a lighter Encounter setting would be welcome, though I guess this would not be for everyone, and so the wish for an extra option in the workshop setting (most WOFF settings have this graduated light-normal-heavy or easy-normal-difficult choice, so I think it would just bring this setting into line with the others).

Ah, I got it now. I guess not many would want even less encounters, as you already said.

[*]Flight/Kette integrity and consistency: keep the flight members the same unless wounded/on leave/missing, and keep the ranks historically accurate. Add in promotions and being transferred to other flights/squadrons, new guys coming in with v. low skill levels, etc. Just generally more realistic flights/Ketten, which were after all the primary combat units in reality IIRC.
[*]More French 2-seaters (i.e. Breguet).
[*]More encounters with lone or pairs of 2-seaters doing arty spotting or recce. 2-seaters usually seem to appear in flights.

I would like the best planes to be given to the pilots with the highest ranks in the squadron - no matter what that rank is. If better planes are available to the unit, use them, don't keep them in a crate somewhere waiting for a high enough pilot to show up. Best example: Max Immelmann will never fly the E.IV because his rank is too low. At the time of his death you have to be at least a Hauptmann to fly the E.IV in Jasta 10.

+1 to more single 2-seater encounters.

Hi Guys,

Been away from WOFF for almost 18 months and only own WOFF 1 + Add-on #1 Fokker Scourge

With that said, been reading all night to catch up, and would definitely buy WOFF Gold. So here is my wish list for WOFF Gold (if some of this is already now present then someone please let me know and I'll stop wishing ).

1. "Aces Can Die" Option. I know how to edit the Aces file to remove aces I've shot down or I have witnessed dying in my squad, but that's a bit tedious.

2. User Defined "Death by Fence Collision Speed." I figure no two players would ever agree on what collision speed should result in death, so how about a pick list or a variable box where we simply pick a number or enter a number which equals speed in miles per hour before a fence collision results in death. I might pick 20 mph, the next player could pick 50 mph.

3. Caudron G-4 and Breguet 14. (I would also buy these in an Add-on): These two French bombers would fill in some really important holes (date-wise) and allow for much more diverse French recon careers.

4. Belgian Add-on. A two-seat Farman and a Hanriot HD.1 could be offered in this Add-on and when combined with the other planes already in WOFF would be all it would take to get Belgium up and officially running. Belgium only had a handful of airfields which could be added to the existing map.

Thanks!

Welcome back Bucksnort and Happy New Year! The Devs already made the fences a lot less lethal and I think they have it down quite well now. Having said that I still use a simple solution in case I ever feel like I died when I shouldn't have. I just set myself in Workshop to EASY outcome where Pilot Never Dies. Then it will say I died, but lets me keep playing as "reports of my death were greatly exaggerated." False reports of death happen often in war, so that would be one of those. If, on the other hand, you actually should have died, then you can just stop flying that pilot.

Thanks for the update, Hellshade! Sounds great

I would like to see days spent in hospital to be somewhat proportional to pilot (observer) health. Let us say, pilot health upon landing is 97%, so he spend only 1 day in hospital, while with health of only 56% he spend 14 days in hospital. Health below 40% would trigger randomizing output of live or death.

Not sure if this was already in this looong wish list thread.
It is an idea JFM brought up in a PM, and I thought, it MIGHT perhaps be possible to do.

CFS3 did allow baling out, and parachutes.
Now, wouldn't it be great, if late war pilots could bail out with a chute and save their lives?
Not sure if the Entente introduced them at any time in late war, but the Germans did,
due to a lack of pilots.
