Out of curiosity, what is everyone's holy grail of EECH improvements that could be made if someone here knew how to implement the improvement and make it happen to the game? I'm not suggesting that person is me, as I'm utterly unqualified, rather simply an EECH enthusiast who immensely appreciates everything the talented developers and artists who have contributed to this project have managed to achieve over the years.

Mine is shader-driven water--i.e. reflective, animated and with waves, etc., similar to what the BMS team did with Falcon BMS 4.2 and 4.3, or what Oleg did with IL-2 Sturmovik. To me, this would be a drastic improvement to EECH:

The above is from DCS, but you get the idea.

What is everyone else's biggest wish?


My secondary one is improved Apache avionics akin to what I saw several years ago but were never released, and my third would be more realistic tank and ground force movement, with further diversity in AAA types of units. Everyone only gets one main and two secondaries. No more! Let's see what everyone is dreaming of.

How long have you spent on water flying in eech?

My holy grail is new avionics and cockpit for mi24 and apache. just enough.All graphical improvements can wait for better times.Improving graphics is a job rather for many years,not months.

Mine would be:

Main - a flyable AH-1F Cobra. I just started to work on it a little bit, but it's a secrect project at the moment wink
First I will finish my work at the KA-50 and after that, I will try to improve the MI-28.

Second - a flyable MH-6 Little Bird. A UH-1Y Venom could also be nice. That's my wishlist for the future, but it's also a massive work to bring it to reality.

I played Gunship 2000 endless nights back in my early days. This was the first attack helo game you could name a simulator. It had the RAH-66 Comanche (scout and attack version) , the AH-64A and D Models of the Apache, the OH-58D Kiowa, the UH-60 Blackhawk, the AH-6 Defender and the AH-1W Cobra (it was a Z-model but they called it W - more exactly an AH-1F with a four blade rotor - the Z-model was only a study those days) in game.

Sadly not any attack helicopter simulator before or after this one had all those legendary US chopper models in. I hope we can see them again all together somewhere in future in EECH Allmods. That's my big dream biggrin

Besides this, I must agree with XIII (Blackshark). I'm also the meaning that we should take what we have and finish it as good as possible.

Starting to work at the whole engine is similar to never getting a useable version of Allmods, because we all have a real life too. First I think we have to improve and fix what's already there. If this is in an useable state a complete overhaul would be nice of course, but not yet.

A firing reticle for the Yak-B nose gun !!!

I now have understood that it can move an fire following where I look with the mouse, but it really need a firing reticle like in Hind 1996!!!

Then it would be perfect..

is it possible to add other helicopters ?
