Suggestion per ASC Interview Request

[Devil 505]

During the interview with Enigma, Matt had asked towards the end of the video for suggestions or additions we would like to see or maybe they missed.  This video covers those suggestions from myself.  Time stamps included.  The 3 suggestions have some real-world video I was able to locate while I narrated.

@baltic_dragon Baltic, I heard you were going to be interviewing Matt with ASC about the C-130.  You think you could watch my video above and throw a few questions in there for me.  Be curious to see what he says. Specifically, the Maritime insertions and the JTAC/Halo first person stuff. I would greatly appreciate it.  I feel like there is some real untapped potential with the C-130 that they could bring to DCS.

Can't speak for BD, but could you condense that into a few written questions? Your video looked quite interesting to me, but I wasn't ready to invest 35 minutes to watch all of it.

Absolutely.  3 main suggestions below.  In the video, I time stamped (1st, 2nd, 3rd suggestion).  I inserted real world footage of the below suggestions if you need examples (not my personal videos). 

• Have you looked into maritime insertions with RHIBs (Rigid Hull Inflatable Boats) or Zodiacs.  Would you be interested in it?
• Would you be willing to look into rolling insertions and extractions in the Desert with wheeled units such as Hummers, ATV's Ect? This was used in Afghanistan and Iraq with Special Operations and would be a first in DCS and 100% applicable to the maps we have.  The C-130 will play a pivotable role in DCS Afghanistan and Iraq.
• You are the first to create the first person walk around experience in DCS.  The C-130 was essential in all SOCOM insertions (HALO/HAHO) into Afghanistan and Iraq. Would you be willing to be the first dev to invest time in making a small JTAC/CCT team, AI or Playable for utilization in DCS.  These units could be deployed to lase for other aircraft and then extracted by players using a number of helo modules. 

If first person has been implemented successfully with the C-130 (looked awesome in the trailer), I feel this presents another opportunity to capitalize on an untapped area in DCS.  A small JTAC or CCT team would be a solid first intro for expanding ground operation but not going full shooter.  It would allow coordination with other aircraft and be a solid addition to C-130 creating the most realistic simulation of Halo or HAHO jumps.  I can only imagine the Hype of us VR players walking to the ramp with each other at 22K and having a player load master give the signal to jump.  The C-130 has a real opportunity to make that special in my opinion based on what I have seen thus far.  There are plenty of Vets out there that would probably be more than willing to help you get it right.
