ED Team NineLine Posted May 18, 2019 Author ED Team Share Posted May 18, 2019 Nice.. But will we see any LW pilots climbing up to intercept B17s online (like ont he video) . . or will they all remain down at low altitudes? Mission design, you have to make them want/need to get those B-17s :) Forum Rules • My YouTube • My Discord - NineLine#0440• **How to Report a Bug** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xvii-Dietrich Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Mission design, you have to make them want/need to get those B-17s :) ^ This Motivating the pilots at different levels is what makes a mission compelling. This applies at the individual, tactical, strategic and meta levels. As has been demonstrated in years gone by, LW players will happily fly 2-3 hour sorties at 8km altitude to accomplish objectives that motivate them. Merely being scenery/targets for the RAF is hardly an incentive. However, it is a good use for the AI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grafspee Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 i think fw190 should get New DM it would be a little pointless to develop present DM when it is going to pass away in near future thats what i think :) System specs: I7 14700KF, Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite, 64GB DDR4 3600MHz, Gigabyte RTX 4090,Win 11, 48" OLED LG TV + 42" LG LED monitor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronJockel Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Just having them in a mission is a start . . . If realistic strategic bombing attacks don't kill FPS, that would be great. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philstyle Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 If realistic strategic bombing attacks don't kill FPS, that would be great. Formations of 12xB17 have no impact on FPS on the SoW server, even up at 28000ft with contrails. There is a small stutter when they spawn, but our missions have 4x raids of 12 B17s, at contrail height, over 5 hour periods - and no real impact on performance. If there were medium bombers, I would swap the B17s out for twin engine aircraft, as they are more suited to the smaller raids. It's frustrating that ED chose to go for the B17 and not a medium bomber actually... a B26 or A20 or similar would have been far more suited to the map.

As soon as they drop bombs on targets like train stations, the fun begins. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snapage Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Do we know if this includes the F-8 or will the F 8 be separate module? Or is the F -8 not confirmed yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD_Fenrir Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) There is no hard information on how this will be implemented. Or that matter any confirmation that it is going to happen. It was only suggested by Coyote that there could be two variants as the 2 are very closely related. Speculatively, given that we have separate entries for full wing & clipped wing Spitfires (and similarly for the P-51D-25/35) selectable in the mission editor, I suspect the same will apply for the Fw-190A-8/F-8. If we do indeed get the F-8 bundled with the A-8, that is. Edited June 3, 2019 by DD_Fenrir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msalama Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 a B26 or A20 or similar I'm pretty certain they said they're going to release an AI Havoc later. Was in one of the newsletters IIRC.
