Inbuilt mission tasking

[The_Pharoah]

Ok I'm just regurgitating what I posted elsewhere but here it is. I'm posting it separately because I'd love for the devs to see it and hopefully consider it.

 

WISH

Ideally included as part of the dynamic campaign they're building for MP. My wish is for the development and inclusion of a proper inbuilt mission tasking system which provides users with a list of tasks (either predetermined or based on 'needs' say with the dynamic campaign which takes into account ongoing battles, supply needs, 'thrusts', troop support, supply, logistics, etc.

 

Examples:

 

You spawn in a huey, you could potentially be tasked with:

1. troop transport from point A to B until complete;

2. VIP transport from point A to B to C to D;

3. gunship support for TIC (troops in contact);

4. SAR

5. armed recon along a certain point;

6. sling loading until complete, etc

7. ship to shore loading/unloading including sling loading

 

You spawn in a Hornet or F14, you could potentially be tasked with:

- CAP in a specific area

- routine patrol

- armed recce

- SEAD against identified targets (PP mode)

- CAS for TIC

- escorting those a/c doing CAS (above) or clearing the airspace around TIC

- anti shipping

- strike and deep strike missions (against buildings, structures, etc)

- ferry flights from carriers or spawning out in the ocean to replenish battle losses

- escorting VIPs or cargo a/c, etc

 

You get the drift. The taskings should be specific to your a/c (so what you'd get for a Harrier should be different than for a M200C).

 

That way, on a server in an ongoing 'battle', you don't have to try and figure out whats happening (unless you want to) - as IRL you get a briefing and your part in it, and away you go. The server will then be filled with loads of a/c all doing diff tasks but contributing to the war effort...and pilots would then realise they're part of something 'big' ie. I'm spending an hour sling loading barrels off a ship to an airbase, because the airbase is running out of fuel supplies so jets can't fly and perform their missions.
