Currently, the plane customisation and modification is inadequate. I think that a simplified version of the system in warthunder would be beneficial.
My ideas for this are:
Bombload Options
Rocket Options
Gunpod Options
Canon options (like 30 mil or 20 mil main cannon for late 109s)
These could be implemented similarly to the attachments for guns.
As for cosmetics, the devs could consider adding camps for planes as they have none, by taking inspiration from warthunder.
So would you suggest needing to research these various armaments to then be able to equip them?
I also think that you would then have a weight indicator and need to adjust accordingly.
The trouble this gets into is in regards to BR. As some of the planes that are currently in various tiers would DRASTICALLY change if you were able to change out the armament.
PLEASE NOTE: I am not against the idea, but it would take a lot of refinement to figure out how to make it agreeable in terms of balance.
Also, what about tanks? Would you be able to choose your ammo types and the amount of each type of shell?
I would love how this could make underused aircraft viable.
On the other hand, I think non-pilot players would hate this. Because the effect of this is that we’d see a lot more Dauntless-type planes that minmax for the largest payload possible (1. max amount of rockets, 2. largest bomb) while getting the worst MG they can.
Currently, airplanes MUST prioritize fighting other airplanes because most of them can be a threat to each other. But if everyone gets the chance to optimize their loadout for ground target farming, A2A will go out of fashion.
I was posting this because I personally wanted to use the k4 but with 20 mils, but yeah it might not be great seeing the bigger picture
Idk I feel like ammo types might be a bit complicated when we already got the penetration marker thing
It wouldn’t really be any different than what already exists. The indicator changes between if HE, AP, or Smoke is loaded, so how would any others have difficulty?
Concur. I’m disappointed that the WT system of earning camos and decals with only a few premium ones is not followed here.
Shocked that the premium vehicles don’t have any extra skins. I practically collect unique stuff in WT and would throw down on the StuG III A if it had another color than white.
And if you’re reading this Gaijin, I would absolutely grind or pay for a clone of the SdKfz 250 Motor Carrier Stalingrad survivor that the Australian Armor and Artillery Museum featured on YT this past week.
we have like zero cosmetic options for vehicles without paying rwm, i think they should do what they do for infantry cosmetics or vehicle and infantry upgrades,
