DCS really needs a proper War Room for the upcoming Dynamic Campaign, both for MP and SP. A place where you can instantly see the overall battlefield situation, the current strategic plan, and how long each objective will take. There should be an interactive target list where you can click on targets to get info like whether it’s political or infrastructure, if it’s already destroyed, what its priority is, and if anyone (player or AI) is already assigned to it. You should also be able to right-click the same target to generate a sortie. It also needs to track your personal progress, what you’ve done, what medals you’ve earned.
The War room should be able to show a list of missions you can pick from, and let you plan your own missions at different levels of complexity, so even a beginner can create something without needing to program 8 JDAMs just to get started. You should also be able to join AI-planned missions and even jump into aircraft that are already airborne. Jumping in Airborn jets is not a mandatory feature. But it would be nice, so you can join your friends later in the mission (when their flight contains Ai jets offcourse). The War Room should show a real-time map with all detected aircraft based on ground radar stations, sensors, EWR and AWACS coverage. And terretories you captured or are contested.
And don’t forget a scramble button. If enemy players or AI come within 50 miles of your airbase, the game should generate an intercept mission right away. If no one takes it within 20 seconds, AI should launch that scramble instead. And of course, if your EWR or radar around the base is destroyed, you won’t see incoming threats and no scramble will be triggered. And it should have the ability for external apps to connect to it, or to get real time data from, things like SRS or TACVIEW and server owners and such, that need to get statistics/telemetry.
All of this will improve team work naturally. And people can make sense of the war by themselves instead of going around like lost puppies.
The goal is to make the combat and missions accesible for a large amount of players, from noobs to experts. And what way to do that better then a nice and streamlined GUI/War room. This war room should have military style art look, and not be to cluttered with 3000 options, and not look sterile with menu'sthat look like WIndows XP menu's. Something nice for the eyes and esy for the brains. And only when opening certain menu's/buttons you can show more advanced options for the more advanced players.

In my opinion this will make the game way more accesible for everyone. And i'm sure this will lead into ED having more sales.

Go in close, and when you think you are too close, go in closer.
