Normandy Map Discussion

Definitely a first step down the dynamic campaigns road anyway.

 

There have been quiet a lot of various first steps for a dynamic campaign over the years in DCS. But never a second step :D

[EagleEye]

Raccon was already writing about making the Warehouse function actual working and thinking about to add visible transportation lines (ie. Trucks moving on a road etc. ), if I understand correctly. Now taking over damaged bridges, factorys to the next mission and so on would be an awesome addition and would make things more interesting.

[Aginor]

Yeah, to me this is much more exciting than pretty train models!

Add to them the trains to the transport lines.

Racoon, will all these new improvements and functions carry over to more modern, non-WWII maps as well?

[Racoon]

Depend on improvements. Some will work automatically. Others need additional work to do.

[Coxy_99]

We're thinking about such system.

So.................... Pre purchase Friday tomorrow? :D

Would be great for more dynamic campaigns and missions...

 

Uh oh sith, you said the magic word ;:D

 

Everytime I here the word dynamic I be like:

 

 

 

Although a "Save Map Object/State" Option, that would at the end of the mission or when user initiates the save state command,

 

Save the objects map state in a miz file for generation of the next mission would prolly work for both:

 

- Dynamic Campaigns

(Mission End, Save State, Generate New Mission w/ Saved State of Map/Resources/Objects etc)

 

- Save Game/State Option.

(User gets to a point where they have to leave, pause, hit save state button, save as a new MIZ File), would prolly have issues with protected campaigns though, enter MIZ.DIFF files.

[Schmidtfire]

I agree, and a saved state would be great for big Co-Op MP operations. There is nothing worse than a server crash after two hours+ of playtime...

[Vitormouraa]

Can't wait to destroy these Tigers with my F/A-18 :D :D :D :D

[rrohde]

Very impressive looking Zimmerit texture on that Tiger. Awesome!

[Burning Bridges]

Yes, almost a little too much for a flight sim. But I love that screenshot with the whole transport column.

Good thing this is more than a flight sim ;)

Lol, I want more. As Sith said this is more than a flight sim...

Just to be certain: Will it be possible to fight a WWII battle with an A-10 or other modern machines? (Ref: Final Countdown with 2 Mitsubishi Zeros v 2 fully functional Tomcats!)

 

Note: don't get into a low and slow fight against a couple of Messerschmidts with just an Eagle.

That is how we understand it, than any unit can be used with any map.

[Vitormouraa]

Not sure how it will work, if it's similar to what we have in DCS, we can edit the missions using ME, why not? :)
