BF Planes are gunna ROCK!

Well, lets make a list. This is more because I'm a fly-boy in game(or at least, I try) and I just need to post all the awsomenesses that are being put into planes.

-Selectable ammo, Bombs or Rockets or Missles. Great for my beloved F15!

-Afterburners, I hope they get the sound right for a plane supposedly going mach 1+. As a matter of fact, there should be no sound untill it passes!

-Working hud complete with artificial horizon, altitude, compas thinger, and I think airspeed. As well as showing missle locks and such.

-Countermeasures!

-Vitualy NO fog, FINNALY we can have some realistic modern air combat and bombing runs. No more flying 200 feet or lower to see your target.

-Very high or No ceiling, add this to the previous note and were looking at some pretty awesome NFZ type maps.

-Wire/TV guided bombs and missles!

-Homing missles, duh, but still I haven't played much BFV so it still counts)

Best part is a lot of these things can probably be applied to other aspects of the game.

here thats a point bout reheat (afterburner for you yanks) since the harrier is going to be in this mod, you will need to take this away from the harreir since it does not have a reheat.

but im also looking forward to the planes in bf2.

You'll still have to fly low to see your target, I'm sorry to say. The higher you fly, the less of the map you will see. This was set up to avoid having the GPU render everything while flying.

BF2 jets will be a big improvement over BFV or DC, but there'll still be fog, depending on the map. The best ones might have it out a bit further than you're used to in BF1942/BFV, but you're still talking visibility of maybe 500-600 meters at most. And you certainly won't see any engagements beyond visual range (i.e. remote radar acquisition and lock-on). And the flight model I've seen in the videos is very arcade (starting with the fact jets are still greatly speed-limited). So it's still a long-shot from a real fighter sim.

Thats what PR is for, and from what I've seen you can see far enough. And I'm sure it can be pushed farther if all you're doing is a flight map.

Possibly. I'm just telling you what Scott Evans, of EA/Dice said.

have the dev's decided on the armerments for the planes or are they waiting till the bulk of the mod is done?

**** accidental double post, please delete.

Dont forget about missle lock tones and waring tones.

PR will still need to add low altitude warning tones i think.
I know they will need to/try to add blacking out in. no idea how to though.

the things sound pretty good, hopefully they can be tweaked so that when past mach 1, you dont hear them untill after they go by you, and that if you are on the ground or in a ground vehicle while they fly by, there is a very loud noise and the whole level seems to shake.

Would be awsome if PR could add the Laser Targerter back in to help let Planes have a bigger Role on Air to Ground Combat.

I believe, after reading many of the interviews, one stated they took it out due to not working as planned, but left it available to the modders.

yea i think requiem said if they can do it they will

snipurs · Post by **snipurs** » 2005-05-23 17:53

well, i was reading some where i think it was located in totalbf2.com that amiebent heat sources can distracked the locking of the planes, so there for think about being tailed and a chimmney saves your ***. i like that alot adds a whole knew way to "Dog fight"

Ugly Duck · Post by **Ugly Duck** » 2005-05-23 19:25

That would be a fun trick. Also, what about radar guided missiles? Can those be added, and chaff to divert those?
