B-17 DM


Conroy

Recommended Posts

B-17F defensive fire not implemented actually (3D model has implemented fire and turret animations).

 

That pretty much answers my question!:thumbup:

 

I attacked a 12 aircraft big box and was a bit dismayed to see no return fire. When attacked they all split up and dived in every direction, mostly for the deck? With a 4 ship FW190 flight, the AI wingmen had a field day! What would be nice is some options for the Forts to hold formation and return fire?

 

We should get some more units next week, apparently the flack is arriving!:D

It looks like the pre-release DM that we were seeing was the official alpha, not just an internal / temporary version. Or are they going to work on another one from scratch?

 

Minute 10:11. He clips both wings of a B-17 in a single short burst.

New DM has on progres but actualy i supous not integrate on the B-17. Waiting ED new about them.

 

What worries is that the B-17 is a brand new FM, so it was supposed to come with a fresh / well thought DM. If this is a temporary DM / pre-release, would be nice of them to state something, because people were commenting about the B-17 DM even before the alpha release.

IMO ED should slow down on releases.

Take time to develop them to at least beta first.

Highest priority should be given to already known issues to

World 2.x and Spitfire.

Asset Pack can wait.

The two things are only tangentially related.

The FM is the FM, The DM is the DM.

The first is currently more developed than the second.

As the DM is developed more, it will interact more with the FM

Perhaps if you find it too unsettling to use software that is plainly marked as WIP, you shouldn't deliberately download versions that clearly state they are still WIP.

Cheers.

Thanks, and does the DM have a WIP of its own or is it coming along with the official release of the Normandy map?

 

Or the official release is one thing and the DM is another?

DMs for the Fort will likely come along with the promised DMs for the 190 and 109, to get all of them up to P-51 standards. This is my understanding of the situation,and since this is Alpha (some say pre-Alpha) I am content to play what they let us have ahead of time and see it progress.

 

I'm not to thrilled about Forts losing wings so easily, but I am thrilled to SEE them up there, and now firing back!

I don't mind either, but only if a proper DM comes with the official release. Otherwise it has a chance to become another WIP with no timeline for the foreseeable future.
