As we have air crews in game are frustrating to play with. Despite having moderate impact on battle they get ridiculusly low XP, not mentioning ton of issues.
Issues:
-no air brake indicator
-no possibility of changing “exit plane” Key (F key is flaps toggle in WT what causes unintentional deaths)
-not functioning air brake on stuka
-No option to change payload
-rear gunner does not function
-bouncing bombs
-no way to check weather bombing technic is proper or not
- Il-2 is too powerful at dogfighting
-Low XP gain from plaing aircrew squad.
-no parachute
Proposed changes:
- might not be histroical but Su-2 would be preferable alternative to il-2 (we already have this stupid armored car it would not be such a streach)
-customizable hud (options should include IAS/TAS/IAS+TAS, Flap position, Airbrake position, gear position)
-Option to change plane controls in style of WT
-Bomb cam window (should be tracking bomb vertically down or From a side with a camera spinning around the bomb)
-XP granted for surviving time in air (longer u survive higher your xp. Right now moust efficient is suicide bombing) - Air to Air kill and Air to ground kill should be separate categories counted differently
-implementation of parachute in weapon slot
-succesful escape from falling plane outside of battle using parachute zone should be rewarded by reducing lost squads or teleprotation to nearest spawn
-Implementation autopilot and proper gunner
Please discuss other issues and fixes in the comments. i’ll try to add tem to the list as disscusion go.
