I look forward to seeing some of these innovations I hadn't heard of being put to use. It sounds promising.

"Possible" lol...

Well it depends on what we set the air density to. On Kashan its not too bad, the rest of the maps however are. Try the A-10 and Frog, those aren't too bad. Its just that they stop accelerating down after awhile, and just barely start slowing down.

Still, I will stick to the word "improbable", since in 6 months later I am often looking right at it.

Like I already mentioned twice? Heheheh

Personally I don't see the appeal of just having a simple fighter jet vs fighter jet round either, I think missions with bombing objectives and CAS based missions would be much better. Since you'd want fairly low amounts of players you could also fill up the rest of the spaces with AA and other bots of various forms. So you could do stuff from having to defend a tank convoy while the other side tries to destroy it, to simple "destroy X Y and Z buildings" - could even integrate an bot based armour group that helps to attack said base that the defenders have to take out as well to defend their installation.

3: Helicopters aren't very much fun to fly in PR compared to DC - evasive maneuvres are mostly too easy because of the extremely good accelleration on PR Helis and their miraculous ability to pull out of inverts.

This can be somewhat resolved.


I think aircraft in BF2/PR have a lot of possibilities that people probably haven´t seen yet.

All that is needed are a couple of dedicated people who actually care about the aircraft, some big maps and view distances.

Alex, if you can get that radar system to work in game, i will personally have your babies. Unless of course i find out that your not responsible in which case i will never let you see our children again (im thinking restraining order).

Working on the presumption that you are responsible, what system does it use to work?

At last the WSOs will have something to do other than play with their balls and occasionally click the left mouse button.

Only for a tiny part (hud), it was another persons idea and coding.

How it works was posted further up.

Yeah the radar is pretty much done. We thought it was crashing the server but it was something else. Very stable and quite effective. All is needed is some texture work.

1) unique gameplay dynamics

2) fun

3) N00b pilots would be caught in the gravitational fields of these servers

we all ready have that. mod is DESERT COMBAT map is NO FLY ZONE

Damn, CAS, Seethed waters (The big Wake) is awesome, I don't think I could manage to map any better

I'm looking forward to what Combined Arms becomes, though.

Yeah tottaly, It would be great training...

I've never actually gotten any air to air combat done at all!

It's so rare it's almost non-existent.

Either an all Air map...

OR training kashan w/ Mec air vs US air.

I've done Air vs Air before, and usually dominated. I don't get that many chances, but the few that I've had have been enough to teach me what works, how to spot the enemy faster, how to evade best, how to conserve flares, and how to force the enemy into a bad position in order to get them in front of you, or to pull off, or get shot.

All in all, I've probably scored 20 Jet on Jet kills, and fewer dogfighting deaths. Some of them last a while, and result in either the complete dispensation of flares, in which case if I've still got a shot it'll be a kill, or the expenditure of all ammo, in which case I RTB safely. They're usually heartpounding, but in most public games I've never since been killed from another Jet, simply because of tactics I use when flying through the air (IE, not flying low at <800 feet until I have any intel).

I will start a project of this sort soon. Thats all I will say Is the AA on Carriers an objspawner?

Gotta bump this one up. Any news on the production of the map?

Would it be possible to "spawn" with already on air jet? With no respawn ofc. This would make it so the fleets "happened" to cross paths.

Would just end up in chaos. Imagine 32 aircrafts meeting 32 other aircrafts over an open sea. Constant warning signals, poping flares and thousand missiles along with baseraping.

If you got a map wich is so big as Kashan (or bigger) and Create an invisible Wall next to the Carrier wich blocks Rockets etc...

Not 12 vs 12 in an 8km x 8km environment, or less jets in a 4km x 4km with no out of bounds penalty.

Could probably put like 5 AA's on the carriers to prevent baseraping. Isn't that the objective of naval battles anyway? To destroy the other carrier?
